Read somewhere China producing 80 fighter jets per year . If its true we ll be in a difficult situation after half a decade from now . Airforce require number .. They should have gone for higher number of tejas mk1a whose operating cost is peanuts and has all the modern equipment with EW , AESA , BVR missiles .. Suits our budget . The production per year is also low . May be with a higher number of orders it ll gain speed with more assembly lines .
36 rafale vs 200 tejas mk1a .. we know the winner .
