$47 million at this point of time for an MKI-III

Better to get surprises during peacetime encounters then in actual wars…

All these exposures would help IAF in the planning of the upgrade path of the MKI.. and would also help in the in-house R&D efforts and their directions by orgs like DRDO/ADA/HAL etc..

Hi Arnab.. do you have some moer details as to what options you had and can also tell us something which led to this design detail..

The article is weird and makes no sense, I dont get what it is trying to say? Is it a translation? On one hand says MKI produced in India would cost more on other hand HAL is series producing them with competitive cost which is released in MOD report, maybe hes talking of Mig 35? and if we want to produce mig 35 we’ll have to open new production lines etc and henceforth initial investment would be more!

Joey .. Hal built examples ARE costlier then what we pay when we buy directly from IRKUT…

Nick.. any idea about the weight of the LCA LSP-1 ..

MKM looks fabulous..
