I had told to Sancho. IAF will either buy Mig35 which may do its work economically and efficiently for just $55mil per piece, or, if they want to pay twice then its Rafale only, the best Multi Role aircraft of the 4++ generation. We now hope IAF may prefer to wait for 2-3 years for the first batch of Rafale but they would go for the best features of Rafale only which would incorporate a powerful AESA radar, stealth features etc like how SU30MKIs are being upgraded to Super Sukhoi 30, SU35 to SU35BM, J10 to J10B, and Eurofighter to Euro 2020 etc
And now Its Mig35/ Mig29VOT for 80 more, as it already had infrastructure of Mig29s (68Mi29SMT+45Mi29k). Mig35, a primarily an air superiority aircraft with much improved A2G roles and very powerful AESA radar, while Mig29k being already supplied for INS Vikramaditya & IAC-1, Indian pilots already experienced on this aircrafts, which is available for just 55mil per piece with loaded with missiles also? Mig35 is set to win this additional $4.5bn deal to supply 80 MMRCA
we would like to have SUPER SUKHOI.. or PAKFA
No thanks to Mig 35, we bought Mig29k instead..
