@Flame Thrower
you are comparing lca with that fake 5th gen aircraft ,
there is a lot of difference between what was said about lca and what is being said about this bs plane ,
lca was flying with foreign engines and techs from the start and the foreign tech is being gradually replaced with indian tech ,
india was fairly open about the info regarding lca and india was being cooperative with other nations for jv for techs ,
india was also open for criticism of lca ,
not only foreign countries but many indians themselves including former and active airforce officers were tough critics about lca ,
because these indian airforce or any indian military officers would never stand with a political stooge and clap for fake bs ,
do you think that openness exists at iran , lol ,
its a state under totalitarian regime which does hugh fake propaganda .
