Listen, it took IAF 12 years to make up their mind between Jag, Viggen and F-1 in 1978, 20 years to pick AJT and somebody thinks they’ll pick-up 125 fighter aircrafts in two years?

WIthin three years only IAF and NAF will be the one flying Jags, and IAF will start facing the same spare-part problem as they are facing with Migs. France withdrew its Jag forces two years ago and HAL is still manufacturing these old beasts. In reality, IAF has one two many fighter aircrafts in its invesntory and they should work on dismentaling few of its aircrafts rather than dreaming about 45 sqds or more. They should have only Su-30, Mig-29, and LCA (if it bears fruit) supported by 30 Mirage 2000 by the year 2010.

No flame intented.

I doubt Sweden will sell Grip en to Pakistan or India. Same principles apply to both countries. I think IAF has already made its mind up and they’ll go for Mig-29 because all the rest of the fighters are out of reach and Mirage 2000-5 is very expensive. BTW, the deal will not be signed for another two years according to experts.

IJT is uuuuuuugggggggly

Okay, than, Su-27 is similar to F-15 which is similar to Mig 25, Su-24 is evolution of F-111, Tornado is a evolution of Mig-23, Tu-160 evolution of B-1, An-12 is evolution of C-130, while FBC-1 is evolution of Tornado and Jag, Mirage 2000 is evolution of Mirage III/V, Mi-28 is evolution of Apache, and most famous of all J-10 is evolution of Lavi. 😉

Actually, the FC-1 seems to be a modified and updated IAR-95 program.

This just a imagination.

Look at the image, it speaks a lot.

Actually, “Super 7” project was scraped because of embargoes and sanctions on PRC. The gneiss of FC-1/JF-17 was the Mig-33 which never went beyond a conceptual model.

Work, work, work! Using CAD and doing R&D. Same way when Dassault helped/assisted HAL design LCA
