We don't want a dictatorship in India. All old Generals will support their Kin in these things and will create a mess. I was shocked to see Kamra Complex still manufacturing obsolete Gryfo Radar.
Tejas took around 15 years for actual work (designing, construction, testing) to be done. We were making a 4+ Gen fighter for the first time on our own. It took nearly 12 - 15 years to get the necessary industrial capacity together before work could begin. But today it can arguably be said to be...
Pakistan -
K 8 - Chinese/Pakistani
Super Mushshak - Saab Safari
JF 17 - Chinese/Pakistani (Rejected by PLAAF)
India -
SU 30 MKI - Russian/Indian
BaE Hawk - British
Tejas - Indian
Dhruv ALH - Indian
Light Combat Helicopter - Indian
Neat eh?
SU 30 MKI is more of a SU 35 than SU 30 due to sharing same airframe and older radar.
T 90 is one of the best tanks available and is better than anything China or Pakistan has in it's armoury. Arjun is undoubtedly better but has to show 100% system integration before more are ordered.
Only 2 squadrons of JF 17 inducted. Rest are all in hangar. Why because a Prototype level aircraft with no proven technologies is not operationally viable. As a result your forces are buying up old obsolete F 16 A/B BLK 15 from your allies.

Look a
Look at the bloody avionics and flight performance on the Tejas. It is arguably the best 4+ Gen aircraft present in the world (Gripen C/D,F 16 A/B,early C block,JF 17 included). IAF is either stupid or deliberately holding out.
I mean some of the systems on the plane like ELTA 2032...
Brothers 2 oil deals with India and China? I see a Pan - Eurasian Alliance. The weak socialist liberals of Europe and USA will pay the price of their bad economic and military policies.
It's a MiG 21. Shiv Aroor has maximum sources.
Damn Junk can't be replaced by something good?

SU 35 deal is claimed false every 6 months it reappears by your own Chinese brethren. JF 17 engines dependence is good as the spare parts can be made to stop up in the vent of war.
Russia is having multi billion dollar ventures like PAKFA with India, they sell us Aircraft Carriers and nuke subs...
