    Sukhoi PAK FA

    Not just Jha, there are a few others good defence journos as well. Like Nitin Gokhale, Anantha Krishnan, etc. Maybe even Jugal Purohit. After reading many articles by them it doesn't seem they are part of any lobby. Shiv Aroor does not have much credibility. Trishul-Trident (Prasun K Sengupta)...

    Look at who the author is. It is the self-confessed dalal of LM whose life begins and ends in pimping F-35. His only job is deriding indigenous/JV programs to promote imports from US.

    We would also get 1st prototype in 2016 for FGFA development.

    As per as my understanding goes: Future Replacements: Light: MiG-21 Bison (125)>>Tejas Mk2 (160). Medium: MiG-27 (100)>>Rafale (126+63) Heavy: Su-30MKI (272)>>Super-30 (225) > FGFA would make up for extra Squad numbers (200) to take it to 42 squads > By the time AMCA is ready, it would replace...

    Sukhoi PAK FA

    :facepalm: IAF currently is only interested in platforms which offer maximum kickbacks. FGFA is a do-or-die project for India. For the first time we would have a decisive edge over our enemies. I would prefer India to scrap MMRCA, buy MiG-35 at 2/5th of the cost, and go for 400 FGFA over the...

    I really fail to understand that why many think that FGFA would be a dud.

    Sukhoi PAK FA

    The way I see it: Rafale is a scam with huge kickbacks. MMRCA was launched when India was doing 9% GDP growth, now it 4% and rupee slumping, it has become out of reach for us. The logical thing to do would be to scrap MMRCA and go for MiG-35 with full ToT. Demonization of FGFA by IAF further...

    Sukhoi PAK FA

    I do not understand enough of aircraft technology to go into a debate... Simply using logic, India took the Su-30 and made it into the much better Su-30MKI, which Russia is now inducting as the Su-30SM. Similarly, you cannot discount the same possibility being applied to PAK FA evolving into...
