but if we get rid of some of our tranche1's and order 48 3b's, i would assume they would request tvc with greater thrust. i think i read that in the white paper.
Greater thrust maybe. But no TVC; the west is moving beyond it.

Theoretically - i.e. if everything aligns perfectly (e.g. availability of enough fly-worthy Tranche 1 & 2, cash, consortium members willing to deal directly and not grease, India not budding in, Pak Gov't not collapsing, etc), perhaps.@Bilal Khan 777 @Bilal Khan (Quwa) @Windjammer @Zarvan @gambit @Blue Marlin
will it be good / feasible for PAF to initially go for available used EFT trench-1 & 2s? How much capabilities they would offer compared to frontline fighters of IAF and PAF's F-16?
My only involvement was reading through these two and then providing them an idea of how a mid-point product it could be.....
Can't CAPTOR-E radar cover up this weakness?That depends. It is excellent at high speed energy maneuvering, but not too good in the slow speed nose pointing.
What does a radar have to do with slow speed manoeuvring?Can't CAPTOR-E radar cover up this weakness?
I was talking about engagement. Due to swash plates can't it lock on the F-16 before?What does a radar have to do with slow speed manoeuvring?
the basic assumption being that we would have the cash and the good will of the US to buy the EFT, if we have cash in hand and the goodwill of the US the f16 b70 would be a much better choice, since
i) india wont buy them
ii) Much easier in time and money to buy and absorb them
b70 can also get us access to the latest AMRAAM models and AIM9X which will be good enough to counter the RAFAEL
Im more woried about the Indians joing the F35 project as a full member which i think will happen

if anything having a bird with a huge British input will definetly be sanctioned, i still remember the French nuclear deal of 1977 when the French reneged on already signed deal. Unfortunately USA is the big bad wolf and europeans are its sheep herd
