This was exactly what was going through my mind....wow.....

I think the Rafale will take this, probably because it is not dependent at all on anything of US origin.

Sir isn't it ironical that on one side PAF was ready to go to any extent to get American Fighter Jet into their inventory and on another side IAF despite of American eagerness to sell their Fighter Jet to India wants to keep American companies away from their Fighter Jet inventory...

Re-open the tender and accept the Mig-35. It's the only MMRCA contestant that wasn't used to bomb Libya.

How can we take an unproven fighter when we have results

French Rafale and Mirage 2000 jets zoomed across the Mediterranean sea attacking Libyan ground-based military targets, a move which many critics say was prompted to exhibit the French jet’s fighting capabilities to potential customers.

Oh yeah? You can exhibit a Jet's fighting capabilities in a situation where you have complete air supremacy?? Wow! With almost zero opposition from any Libyan air assets, it was more of a cake walk for the Rafales. Even a goddamn Spitfire from WWII would have done the same because there was no opposition whatsoever!!

So what was the big deal?

As you said mki is also turning into multi role fighter, wouldn't that be better to go for more SU30mki's rather than investing 10 billions in a new platform?

An upgraded Su 30 MKI can match the basic specs of a Rafale/EFT. However there are limits to the level it can be upgraded because of it's airframe.
Rafale/EFT on the other hand are a newer generation of fighters and are still at the initial stages of their lifecycle. In the longer run, upgrade options of the two will outmatch the MKI.

what about super 30 upgrade?

MKI is big so has more room for upgrade.

for example external weapon bay.

multirole isnt omn role. omni-role would mean that it can be used as a cargo plane too

I really don't know what the need for the MRCA was in the first place. The upgraded Super Su-30MKI should be available almost at the same time as the MRCA contestants and will be superior to them in nearly everything, such as price (except for the Mig-35), armament, radar power, and range. RCS will be slightly worse than the MRCA contenders, and supercruise capability will not match that of some of the MRCA contenders. But that is more than made up for by the reduced price and incredible radar.

There was a news that British pilots were not properly trained for ground attacks ( one reason for their poor performance) EF is a very good A2A AC but when India already have MKI going for EF will not be a good option so my guess is also Rafale

but they are going to purchase 189 with 20 billion dollars and it can easily cover and bail out the industries too.
so in end,those who will put maximum on table,will get the deal.

and eft can be purchased in this money
