    There are better option like Kawasaki C2 or Embraer KC 390 and they have better option Last I check US FCA was not a priority , they might not even build the prototypes so that leaves IL 106(PAK VTA) and PAK TA both of which are heavy lifter .IL 106 will be close to C 17 while PAK TA will...

    I know that but some times like in hot weather or thin air you require a little kick or a small boast of power, that cannot be done with FADEC .Also in FADEC the software needs to be foolproof , it cannot fail as there is no back up.Any way if IAF wanted a FADEC engine they could have look for...

    With force multipler, increase in technology, inflight refueling and increase in payload vs weight, we require less planes for same work. 42 squadron of such planes are more the enough.

    There is a disagreement on the engine type, so I think we opted out but now a transport aircraft with 20 ton lift capacity must be given preference. The Russian have started the work on the alternative IL 214, we also need to start our work now.
