Again, without providing objective empirical metrics it's pointless to bring this up, how can you compare apples with oranges? Nasik will be kept churning until 2024-5 and eventually 330-340 MKIs will be in service just to keep the line going until FGFA enters production (2026ish).

Have you got empirical evidence to back this rhetoric up? What is the sortie generation rate in Syria? What is the flight hour-down time ratio? Russians deployed their carrier to Syria and lost 2 fighters in 2 weeks.

LOL, crashes happen, what airforce has never lost a plane?

>200 MKIs in service for >17 years now and being flown 200-250 flight hours every year, crashes are bound to happen especially when these machines are being pushed to the limit. Frankly, the IAF has done a tremendous job of keep the flight safety record of their MKIs so high (this is only the...

Kashmir is a unique situation as you well know, the religion of the occupents of the state are only relevent to Pakistan, Indians couldn't care less. In the rest of India, Muslims are no different to any other group in India. Why do you have to turn everything into a communal issue?

It will be a storm in a tea cup when certain media interests "latch on" to this "news" but it won't make any difference to the progress of the deal(s) at all. India has moved beyond that and all sides know what they want, what they can/will get and what their obligations are. If all play by the...

I don't know what you are talking about, a Muslim has more opportunity in India than in any other Muslim majority nation in the world.
