These upgrades will keep the plane worthy for next 10 - 15 years till AMCA comes and will stop IAF from loosing more squadrons.
I have lot of praises for "Chanakya" from the stories read about him, may be HAL should take few notes out of them and think twice before undertaking the task of upgrading such older platforms with the technologies gained during development of tejas to the reluctant IAF who most likely will have huge cry over the upgraded 3 generation planes without understanding the limitations inherent in design and will benefit maximum for next 10 years with reasonable amount of doubt associated. Needless to say that no other country/organisation will support such upgrades if refused by HAL and may ultimately open eyes of IAF to move to better platform and technology at present available in India save wasteful money and help in further development of complex technologies without which even these upgrades were not possible.
