I thought Indian are moving towards European/American Technology b/c of high maintenance cost of SUs and Migs.
Anyways Su-MKI is a potent platform. If Indian can rectify maintenance issues, it could prove more viable than Rafales, just a thought.
OK guys this is 2015 and what Indian sources say about Tejas.
There is a report about Tejas in IBNLIVE which says as below. (Note: I can not paste direct link b/c I am a newby and the system does not allow me to.)
LCA Tejas not yet a potent fighter, deficient on 53 parameters, delays hurting...
As a matter of fact Indians have learnt many things from Tejas Program as it was bottom-up program. The JF-17 is top-down approach, PAC have learnt to produce an aircraft but the basic technologies involved are still to be mastered. Indians have learnt the basic technologies and this will help...
We can not believe these f*ck-tards, may be they are planning the other way. Terrorists must be crushed, whoever they want to kill. Even if they want to kill Indians, they must be crushed.
Aftab.
