Nope they'll have a jet engine on the lines of Swedish F414South Korea has no habit to study and produce jet engine. I'm afraid of another Kaveri story....

It is an american engine. Or at least part of it.Nope they'll have a jet engine on the lines of Swedish F414
I know thats why I wrote Swedish F414 as model which SK shall attempt to get aircraft off assembly line for few production cycles till they mature their tech unless they manage to get some tech transfer from some other menand or other countries.It is an american engine. Or at least part of it.
Not a true SK one. So they will never be "free" to use it or export it.
Why do people post fake news without verifying anything? Even without confirming it real or fake. Think logically, why would UAE abandon a most optimum fighter jet only slightly below F-35 for the sake of a puny citizen?
Even if it is true, FROZEN is not CANCELED.
And that gap shall be fulfilled by 4th gen aircrafts? Ofcourse Jatna ko kya Maloom ek saal bolenge parity achieved but 2nd year they shall cry we needed 5th gen re.. Govt forced us to buy 4th gen onlee..

114 Fighter Aircraft For India: IAF Chief Bets On “Jaguar-Model” For Multi-Billion MRFA Contract; Admits Tech Gap With China
The new Indian Air Force (IAF) Chief made a strong case for the speedy acquisition of Medium-Role Fighter Aircraft (MRFA) as the force has a yawning technological gap vis-à-vis China. However, he contends that based on superior training and exposure, the IAF will be able to maintain the status...www.eurasiantimes.com

rumored in France : 114 fighter deal is now on short list between F21 and Rafale.
F21 is not the prefered bird according to IAF, but is helped by a massive US pressure.
Rafale is now well known by IAF, but more costly (and also more potent).
Wait and see now.

It is the F4, with an option to upgrade your F3R to F4btw y'all nibbiars know if the Rafale offered for MRFA is the "old" one or is it the F4 upgrade version.
Knowing the frenchies and them knowing our problems with Uncle Sam making their platform preferable, I wouldn't put it past them to sell us the old one and then charge a hefty premium for making the F4 upgrades later
best Bull Shit of of month.Rafale is likely out (lack of ToT and will want too much control of production)
According to Wiki, the contenders are
Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornet
Boeing F-15EX Eagle II
Dassault Rafale
Eurofighter Typhoon
Lockheed Martin F-21
Mikoyan MiG-35
Saab JAS-39 Gripen E/F
Sukhoi Su-35
My guess is that
Gripen E is not really in contention (too similar to Tejas Mk2)
All US types are out (lack of ToT and supply subject to US Congress interference at any time)
Rafale is likely out (lack of ToT and will want too much control of production)
What is the Indian view of Eurofighter (with some political supply risk), MiG-35 and Su-35?
How much longer can MRFA go on before it becomes pointless (too late for purpose) and is scrapped, to be followed by an order for 2 or 3 squadrons of Rafale instead?
India is very aware of USA bad moves.Rafale is most likely but as yet another piecemeal purchase not part of MRFA contract
They could make Rafale the winner but you never know Uncle Sam will cook up another assassination or some other plot and threaten sanctions over not choosing the F-16 rebadge that they are desperately hawking
E*rofighter is too many cooks, each cook can decide to embargo you and you have no plane.
The Russians won't be able to deliver and we have their stuff already
