*sigh*

The flyaway price is just one thing concerning cost. Theres much more to it than just that alone.

Depends on what cost the MoD Big Wigs are looking at. With CAG hanging over them like the sword of Democles they may be pressured to go for the L1 bidder, which could well be the Rafale.

good one… and agreed

Its not about looks but about capability. Nothing I have seen suggests that the F 35 would be less capable than the PAK FA.

Have anyone yet conceived a stealth Eurofighter concept ? Lets imagine if it wins in India & Japan with all the ToT & Local Assembly, can the two countries along with EADS develop it into a stealth fighter ?

Also on the two single seaters, it can be clearly seen that the nose has been replaced. its not perfectly aligned.

Naiceee…

Means it can’t safely do it with a decent payload ?

What land of delusions do you live in ? What engine will they put on it? Kaveri?

India is completely tied to Russia here, and the RuAFs plans with PAK-FA. Get over it.
Hopefully Russian export laws don’t prevent “Type 30” from being exported.

Plus, what information do you have that PAK-FA is underfunded, so Indian money would be the determinant when it enters service?

Nope the Russians have already told the IAF the FGFA will be getting the latest and definitive PAK FA engine. So there is no question of it not being exported.

Well Russian going at it alone can have a lot of difficulties funding the project. I meant the unit cost wud be higher, RuAf could end up with less planes.

Completley tied ? Its a two way street India can pull out and buy more MRCA till the AMCA comes, or buy the F 35. But like I said russians see sense in bringing India onboard which will help in funding and production and keep the unit cost down.

Stupid Otaku.

Such a lovely lady. Wonder if she is still around. Su 34 would be great.
