I know such posts are not considered the most mature (but then, maturity is not exactly my strong point). But the reason behind such a thread is indeed sincere – i’m trying to seriously find out which plane has what advantage. technical details should help. I am terribly curious about such a discussion simply because i have read far too many posts that make the MKI seem to be nowhere compared to the other a/c (in fact there are those who will say that the MKI is at best comparable to the Mirage 2000-5 and the EF2000 and Rafale are head, shoulders and heel above the Russian/indian a/c). Here are some criteria for comparison (radar, rcs, ecm, aerodynamics, OSP, weapons carried, payload, range)
educated opinions are v.welcome.
Kind regards,
