In 2004, first time I heard about this deal. now its 2009 when India is finalising this deal.
Wt ever they will finalise, they will not get it within 5 years.
Noew 2004 ->6 years passed->2009-> 5 more years in development program-> 2 years for trainings= Total time will be 12 years to acquire 126 jets
Dont u think the deal took so much time?
su-30 is a difficult jet to build.it is bigger incorporates lesser advanced manufacturing methods and materials than the jets in mmrca.it should also be noted that infrastructure will be enhanced(as it is one of the main goals of mmrca).private firms will also be involved unlike the manufacture ofsu-30.the jets in mmrca involve lesser number of joint parts than su-30 due to more advanced airframes and will result in lesser manufacturing time.also western manufacturing techniques may also be involved if a western jet is chosen.
