Its depend on production itself. 30 jets/year is possible for assembly/knock down kits. MRFA -- 2032/33 HAL manufacturer AMCA mk1, LCA mk2 & TEDBF when MRFA production starts ? or when MRFA selection, deal sign going to happen ?

Necessity & requirement are two different things, foreign relations, warfare tactics, gov. polices etc affect requirement on the other hand necessity mainly depends on survival. Since you considered IAF only, why not consider PAF & PLAAF also, PAF having requirement of 150~200 f16 , 36 f15/su...

They learned hard way, the difference b/w heavy & light category jets. F 16 bk50/72, right ? yes.

money issue, that why fighter-trainer aircraft. MKM is a heavy class jet, expensive to maintain, low mission rate etc and HAL already offered spare & support some 3~6 years back.[no takes, becz they maybe want f16, from old article, hence I'm using maybe. MKM/MKI like F15E, high & f16, light]...

I read somewhere, they want to get rid of those, including mkm due spare issue and interested in f16

yes, becz lca tejas is best jet in their competition.

About what ? They want a fighter trainer jet. and fa 50 best in that category. LCA is superior to fa50 in fighter category. They consider jf17/lca due to low/similar cost vs fa50. Those countries favouring usa jets consider fa50, may be they are favouring f16, sh for replacing mkm in future.

yes, i noticed. No SK radar so far, only Israel/US[pesa/aesa]. LCA and fa 50 using elm 2032 based fcr and in case of uttam, fa50 use usa ones, best in category. LCA and fa 50 very similar and one in trainer and other fighter.

They want a trainer and at the end they brought a trainer. HAL still having a lot of opportunity in malaysia, from helios to mkm to future aircrafts, before that HAL need to meet Indian needs first.

FA - 50 is not only a trainer, but heavy armed trainer T- 50 is the trainer. LCA cost more and jf17 cost less.

Range, Payload similar, fa 50 having small advantages. Max G, slight advantage to mk1a , Avionics similar, In other words range, payload, range similar, the major difference is one is a fighter & other one a trainer jet. LCA having better EW suite, advanced flight control, etc.

mig 35 as jet trainer, a big joke. Yak 130 used for that purpose. I unable to understand, what malaysia want - pure fighter [lca/mig35] or trainer with attack capability.

Lca initial around 28 mil[1.5 decade ago]. jut fly away cost, estimate from last know purchase price, not from malaysian tender. No one sell fighter in fly away cost initially. All price are wrong. All jets cost extra, fighter jet cost 2x or 3x.

lol. FA-50 uses same engine & similar radar[elm 2032]. major diff b/w both - one is fighter & other trainer by design, both are highly advanced jet with 100km bvr missile/pgms/sow etc.

Consider bottom points, in the pic 1. mk1a - 65.5mil, 2. mig price- estimate. None of the price is real, just fly away cost close to last sale, estimate.

No, I'm not a super power, or I want to call my country a superpower, but poverty free, corruption free, job for every one, low crime erte, developed & self reliant is enough, with a military force to protect & defend India from all kind of threat. Its simple, super power not make any sense in...

I'm not interested in blame game. For your info, previous Govts were chosen by Indians & the gov employs Indians from top to bottom, hence at the end all blame comes to us all. Also time & tide don't wait for humans nor the enemy and money matters, do you have any idea about the wealth of EU &...

That's why I used '&' and there is only France consider building, R&D complect weapon program. EU, UK work together. USA - not a top choice. UK developing next gen aesa sensor for eft, and not considering current option, excluding aesa, uk eft is the best in eu, similar to IAF rafale.

And its depend on ADA & HAL, plus GoI. So the question is why 114 MMRCA <too late> ?[200 mk1a/b not a bad idea for defence until mk2 arrive for offensive]

UK & EU already developed/deployed/use in warfare those and building next gen{Hi} version & we still trying to build a complect jet with those. There is a huge difference and again there is difference b/w Hi tech vs Lo tech and both share same things you mentioned.
