It only says what is the preference of the IAF. The only clear indication from that apart from the fate of MIG 35 if is that the F 16IN may be out. The rest of the comments were attributed to IAF officials who after submitting the report have no say which plane is selected.
A more siginifcant report however comes from Antony who said politics will not affect the deal, clearly pointing the way towards a European aircraft. I think the Gripen will stand more of a chance witht he MoD because of its cost.
Personaly I think the roles of the typhoon and the MKi overlap and hence we are better off with the Rafake if cost is no bar.
