If F-16 would ever be produced in India under make in India, it will be for the export countries. There is no requirement for the F-16, rather F-18 SH does have the chance, since it have the carrier varriant, but since no one in India is looking for the Rafale F3R replacement/alternative till then its zero requirement. LCA MK-1 got 120 unit order. MK-2 is not ready yet, but IN is committed for the 40 unit. There is the requirement of 80-90 unit for the twin seater trainer variant too.
I think the idea of the IAF is now shifted from the role based airforce to the Multi Role stucture, thus the Airsuperiority/Air Defence fighter plane line SU-30MKI after Super Sukhoi will get the Ground attack capability too. So in short it will be the High Tier fighter plane and the Low tier fighter plane, and LCA will fill the low tier group.
LOL, so how many kill did F-22 Raptor had made, and the F-35, and how many by Spitfire.
He He Ho Ho
What is funny is that all the Pakistani members thinks that all the Chinese weapon inventory is theirs. They had Carrier killer DF-21 D, S400 Clone SAM, and J-20 as their.
Janab J-20 is the part of the Chinese security in the South China Sea against the U.S carrier group together with their long range SAM, SOSUS under water web, Subs, carrier and anti carrier long range BM for the Area Denial, Area Access tactics and its secret is highly valuable for the PLAAF and PLAN and PLA. Forgot J-20, and J-31 is decade away from getting ready, till then FGFA/PAK FA threat would be there for you.
Yes we knew, that you don't have the Mobil oil, spares, tyres for your F-16 and lying in Hanger, so PAF would only fight the ground fight, thus we leave the job to the Bofors guns only.
BTW your Bhagoda Gernal Musharaff didn't thought that India will dumped 250000 shells in Kargil with Bofors Guns, and we have to dig graves for the dead Mujahideen Sorry Pakistani soldiers Sorry Whatever because Ever Green Denial Country Pakistan refuses to except the dead bodies of their own.
