Someguy.
If you care to read about the Indian decision to INVEST $6 BILLION in the deveopment of the PAKFA you will understand wat i mean.
IF the indians simply wanted the PAK FA as it is built for them the indians would have said here you go russia $6 billion as down payment for first order of 100 machines.
THAT MONEY has been invested to take the PAK FA and customise the T50 to indian needs. If the Indians have by then a european MMRCA and a LCA tejas mk1 & 2 USING both russian and ISRAELI & european weapons then the FGFA will do the same.
FYI IAF fighters already historically have fighters using both western & russian weapons.
LCA has fired a Russian R73 using an israeli Elta radar.
MK2 LCA will use python5 as its standard WVR missle
Nobody questioned Russian techonolgy but one of the major acheivements of the LCA was the very high input of composites in TEJAS fat more than the RUSSIAN delivered SU30MKI.
iNFACT NEW BUILD su30mki being assembled in india are using more composites then the russian delivered ones.
When you talk about India license building please do not assume a striaght buyer seller arrangement. The indians have a huge aeronautical and space research tech base and they indigenise wat ever they can.
I suggest you read up on DRDO. HAL & SU30MKI/pak fa project. To understand wat i am talking about
