its not like I disagree with KFX being continued, but I dont think that Indian Tejas and KFX were a similar case. I mean, when India decide to choose Tejas instead of buying from another country, Tejas was already flying. In fact IIRC, Tejas even already being tested by Indian Air Force for a long time. its different from KFX case. If we choose to wait for KFX, then we would wait until 2026 ( first fighter to be manufactured), so at least we need to wait till 2030 (not considering there would be any problem discovered on the prototype or on the test).
so I kinda agree with KSAU plan to buy Viper, beside it has commonality with the fighter we already have.
