Has India Finally Addressed Its Su-30MKI Woes?

[randomradio]

India pumped 8.5 Billion $$$s in the Rafale deal. What would have been the result if this money was invested in T-50 PAKFA program?

We are going to do that anyway. More than $30B actually.

Those were Second hand Mig21 made in 1955-58 , which were purchased from the soviets in the aftermath of India - china war in 1962
India bought 200 Second hand Mig 21s so as to bolster the airforce in short time
These were retired in 1980s

Are you sure about 1955-58 ??? AFAIK 21s appear in 60s. Do you have anything to point to specific timeline ??? I would like to read

I meant they were made in 1955-58 but were acquired by India in the aftermath of 1962 war
Nehru asked kennedy for 200 F86 but he refused
So we bought 200 second hand Mig21 to bolster the airforce in short notice
