Just stop. Things are not the same anymore. HAL now engages a lot with private parties and has invested in more infrastructure. The delay is due to GE404 engines. IAF should be allowed to buy another squadron of Rafale if they are that worried about numbers. It is not the planes themselves but AI fused network capabilities, the accuracy of the weapons on the jets that make the difference. Dog fights are not going to happen that much anymore. What India needs to focus on is stealth bombers and develop a conventional bomb like Tsar Bomba. Have to buy things according to what will terrorize the adversary and not because some air marshal wants more toys. I would rather not buy Rafales and put that money into engine development or building powerful stealth materials.Yeah things are even appalling for chai biscuit work culture of HAL when it's receives a rap in the wrist from AIR CHIEF..
