tell me why indian airforce should pay for such highly inefficiently 2nd generation rubbish that is already out of date for 2 decades? look at Chinese air forces, do they have any comparable rubbish? No, they don't.
let's be honest: every single purchase of LCA by the indian air forces is a contribution to the Chinese defence - when your enemies are burning cash on rubbish, how good is that?
we have dozens of similar projects cancelled, with the team and funding permanently withdrawn. same for a lot of US project. because we share some common ground: US/China are honest nations.
the same can not be said for india.
look at LCA, who designed the air frame for india? France. who built the engines? Americans! how screwed the project? indians!
Its the government officials fattening their Swiss bank account that is keeping this project going this long. For every dollar paid to the engineers and the vendors, 10 dollars go to a Swiss bank account. No wonder this project take this long and its so expensive. Too much fat on the top. Actually, its all fat with a sliver of meat.
