Your display picture is enough to say what a bigot you are , Tipu a mass murderer of native Hindus and is your hero , you surely are riding the wagon of break India.

Reality check Australian and Canadian airforce use them as they mainstay fighter and boeing is ready to offer latest f18 sh with new added stealth features.
F 18 sh is dual engine multirole and Boeing has modernized this considerably having conformal tanks and in closed weapons bay , more stealthy only this is comparable to rafale , su30 mki isn't suitable for terrain hugging and deep strike operations due to its heavy airframe and huge rcs. How in...

This whole rafale fiasco is going towards insanity , should be stopped asap and other options to be explored.
Rafale as it is too much overpriced and will put huge dent to national economics and defense budget.

16 squad of Su30mki (272+40) (Around 80 super upgraded with aesa)
3 squad of tejas Mk1 a + 1 squad on Mk1
3 squad of upgraded mirage2k
3 squad...
Hope sanity prevails in MOD and this deal is scrapped ASAP and Boeing is roped in to manufacture F18SH in India and help completing LCA/IJT project on time . DRDO HAL are incapable of delivering anything and Rafale will make us bankrupt
