LOL at indian brainwashing. First you try to make things indigenously but you fail miserably like LCA. Then you try to buy import parts but you can't put it together because they dont' work together. Then you have to buy an entire weapon system like Rafale but you fail again because both the West and Russia sell to india at a very high price, and india is very poor!
Look at your MKI. What a joke. You spend so much money on an inferior flanker. Even the Russians didn't go for the canard on their Su-35BM once they saw MKI fail. MKI is so heavy and the avionics are so 1980's. China has a far superior flanker with far superior radar and composites, and our own indigenous WS-10 engine. J-11B entered service in 2010. We already have 100 of them and some are based in Tibet!
You are the only indian here able to face cold hard reality of the indian situation without deluding yourself like other indian members.
Rafale won't be in service with IAF for another 3 years. China is already deploying J-10B with AESA radar right now. We are still well ahead. On top of that, it is impossible for india, a very poor country (not mocking, just reality), to import large numbers of expensive European weapons to fight against China, which just manufactures its own at home with low costs. india will always be facing at least 4:1 numerical against China.
5th generation fighter is even worse for india. China's J-20 is already far superior to Russia's half-stealthy T-50. Compare the non-stealthy underside of the T-50 against the silky smooth one of the J-20 and F-22. But so many indian members here dance like monkeys thinking Russia is their hero when in fact Russians are taking indian money like fooling a little child!!
In 2011, our GDP was 5x that of india!!! We are actually 30+ years ahead of india in technology.
