. I am skeptical about the fact that T-50 operation cost will hover around $1500 per hour of flight. Unlike western engines, Russian engines require lot of maintenance and engine life is shorter. Moreover T-50 is supposed to be 5th gen fighter, The RAM coating needs extensive maintenance. RAM...

You are spot on.. probably Indian think tank should consider investing on single engine 5th gen and buy T-50, we have a balanced air force. I do not understand why IAF is pursuing MRCA, rather than acquire more su 30 and invest the rest in T-50.

I presume T-50 will carry 4 missiles, 2 in first and 2 in rare bay. where as f22 will carry 6 missiles.Any comments..

F-22's complexity result in unprecedented levels of maintenance downtime. That further reduces numbers in the air. 185 F-22s will support about 120 deployed fighters. They will be lucky to generate 60 combat sorties per day, a laughable number in any serious air war. In World War II, the...

You are right, but look in this angle. Yf22 was a perfect prototype, LM demonstrated in ATF competition its abilities like Weapon firing in supersonic regime, Weapons bay opening, firing missiles, closing within a second, Proven radar and avionics package, Super cruise etc. Yet it took 8 years...
