So u are implying F16 is the best we can get in the whole world despite them being extremely expensive and with so many strings attached that its like a damn rope come to think of it. Yes, US has one of the best tech out there but its not the only one . Atleast some are close enough if not better, that can be acquired with no strings attached and at almost half the cost if not less. I think u need to get past the phobia of US might and whatever it has is the ultimate. Had it still been the case US wont be standing where it is standing now. Look around mate. World has changed its not 1980 or 90s no more. U understand the alignment of nations thats going on at the moment? wat and where we are expected to land. Ya aap bhool gaye ho F16 and wheat story. kitne baar dase jana hai before u realize.And no we don't have better options. We consider F 16 better that is why we are interested in them. That is we are in talks for them. Come out of your bubble, USA technology is till decades ahead of other countries. And stop being a beggar or their client state pay the price and get the weapon. I am not talking new you need to change your thought process.
My friend, i think u need to open ur eyes and look around. The world has changed. its u who is still living in 1900s. the world has moved on.
Sastay main mil jayeen tou i am still happy to have them, CSF US ki phuppi kay valimay ki cost hai jo adda karne hai us na. Ehsaaan nahi kar raha woh, na bheek daay raha hai. Nothing is free in this world. Aap CSF keh lou ya cost of supporting them keh lou baat aik he hai. we did something for them and they needs to pay the cost of it as agreed its as simple as that. Dost duniya main koi kisi ko aik takka bhee nahin daita free main, to US kon sa murikh saay aya tha. Dont forget the cost we paid as a country was a million times higher than wat this shitty CSF and others are worth.
