I maybe wrong BUT I get the impression that FGFA or indian version of the PAK FA is now not happening .
Russias is refusing to share all the technology or give India ownership rights
India is convinced that PAK FA lacks too much in current guise and not worth the money AND will not pay $4 billion in development cost upfront without no ownership rights..
My question too ALL friends in light of three key events RE iaf procurement plans WHAT will the IAF look like in ten years time ..... AND IS THIS GOOD ENOUGH TO DEFEND INDIAN SKYS from likely foes.
THE THREE KEY EVENTS ARE.
1. Rafale goes to 36 planes only Govt to govt deal NO license manufacture or TOT
2. Tejas will be arriving in form of mk1a 120 planes regardless of IAF reservations to boost make in india
3. FGFA and PAK FA will be shelved for now until IAF seems the PAK FA in Russian service or a prototype in india.
