Do watch the doc, Partha. Our own strategic thought will evolve once we take a less caricature oriented view of the pak mango abduls- this will help create a legitimate de-mullahed alternative after the inevitable Indian military intervention in the near future.

Re: Indian Single Engined Multi Role Fighter with Transfer of Manufacturing Technology
If the priority is to boost IAF strength, then anything other than the F35 does not make sense. If priority is some sort of MII play, then it makes sense to buy the most mature platform, i.e F16. Unkil ji is ordering laddoos as we speak.
