It is a worldpower when it comes to labourmarket. Getting military worldpower is a bit far yet. But atleast it has less opponents compared with China.
About impossible to produce a plane in one nation. Well. Isn’t that the end of options? Engine is definately a hell… Here there are many parts that are being imported or co-produced. Not to bring it in negative news but LCA is difficult to handle cause of many foreign ideas/parts. India did a smart move to put more effort in Indian parts but as others said… One has to learn the lessons.
Looking at the success… India is starting many other projects now. I think it i sunfortunate they opt for Hawk cause they should be able to produce a Hawk right now. If China and Pakistan can produce K8 then India isn’t that far from the same target. With less restrictions from other nations it can learn and produce a decent trainer faster then the LCA…
With fingers at PAK-FA… Co-operation on MKI… But it needed more luck on the LCA… Long project… Lots of cash…
