Thanks for your thoughts on this. I've purposefully left out my personal opinion on what plane would be the best fit as i don't have enough knowledge in that area. To weigh in i don't hold much hope for the Gripen in India but i do have on good authority that transfer of technology wont be an...

That's not what i am saying at all. I'm merely pointing out that so far we have seen NOTHING from the F22. All those other jets attend joint combat excersises regularely. All we know of the F22 is what the US Airforce PR department tells us and we all know how modest PR folks tend to be. Also...

India is obviously capable of developing competetive technology but saying that Gripen has no substantial technology to offer is a bit of a stretch. Sweden has over 60 years of experience in fighter jet production and R&D and has been at the cutting edge of electronics, datalink systems and...
