A humble question, please: for those who claim Rafale and any else is too expensive, had you put into consideration that India GDP is growing at 6~7% (7.1% for 2016, 8% for 2015). At 6%, we are talking a doubled one ~12 years, and 10 years at 7%. As long as India can insist same defence-to-GDP percentage, we will be looking at similar growing air force budget. In other words, say if squadron number is fixed, IAF suppose to afford a double-price fighter every 12 years, despite other cost such as logistics. So, when people said "too expensive", do you have some measurement about "IAF affordability"? Again, I admit it's a question raised without concrete idea.

its like a joke iaf will go for upgradation for su30 mki while its getting su35 . its a big joke with nation & the result will be nothing even the super sukio will not come close to su35 .

we should elect su35 , f16 & few more rafale then LCA MAK2 , & in future 5 th gen planes
:eek1::eek1::eek1::eek1::eek1: There not a huge difference in SU35 and SuMKi.. if MKI’ engine is upgraded which will be later on there won’t be a lot of gap.

Currently the difference between the to fighters is http://www.defenseworld.net/news/14...y_on_par__Indian_Aviation_Expert#.W5sM89_hWf0
With upgrade per engine and customisation we will match or better SU35.

if India can order GE engine for Tejas, then what is the big deal if Gripen has GE engine?

why we want Gripen when it is same class as lca mk2 and not going to get any useful tot(engin/avionic) and will use same engine as lca mk 2 (being third party here going to cost u more with no local manuf. (as u are not the buyer of engine )
and when delivery time will be almost same (lca might be early depend. upon gov.)
