Moreover if we choose us AEW, the data link between mig29k,LCA & our future AMCA will definitely gives headache.
So why India choosed P8i platform. Actually India is not the member of NATO, so there is no need to use data link 16, instead india have its own solution aka ODL - Operational Data Link for secrecy and indigenous algorithm so such devices will not be in the packages. As far as the Data link - 16 is concerned than its just the protocol and the algorithm and easily could be interlinked using the convertor solution which convert datalink16 to ODL and vice versa .
First of all IN plan includes its own Naval Battle Management and network based on the Indigenous Satellites and Grid, that's why Aegis which was proposed by US was denied. Second Hawkeye is much needed due to the change of the requirement of the IN who want to now evolve into true Blue Navy, and Hawkeye in the USN are most safe bet for the ASR (Anti Submariene and Survellance) requirement for the Battle group when away from our sea shores because US have the best tech. and experience in that field and for the carrier operation there is no other option.
But big question is EMAL for IOC-2
1. Rafale -M OK, Nuclear Propulsion (HEU/LEU) OK guess India some how developed such PWR, but India have to put something big on the table for the EMAL tech.
I hope Brazilians can modify their EMB aircraft, if not go for much larger shore based IAI phalcon.
Negative
wats the point in buying US weapons , when they arm pakistan with f16's?
Because it is very safe bet, And for the arming Pakistan, because some politicians feels that if they will not arm Pakistan or left over to be overrun by the Jihadi and non state fractions, the nukes might gets into the wrong hand. In Pakistan F-16 is the symbol of feeling safe to the general public as political propaganda you can say but when IAF convey its consern over 18 F-16 than US told India over the F16 supply that those small number won't destabilize the IAF superiority, and India would gain superiority in few days, but for Pakistan it would act as the medicine for the Political govt. For sake of you just check why didn't US gave AIM-120C-5 and not AIM 120C-7, and why they didn't gave Pakistan AIM-9x , And why US didn't gave Pakistan AESA MMR along with the 18 F-16 block-52 and why they didn't gave pakistan programable DRFM jammers.
