If we have tejas and mkis in great numbers(>300), I doubt if we even need any other fighter. I mean what is the point in duplication. +100 The number of Sukhois as it stands now is enough of an umbrella to carry us over to the complete indigenisation.

Gripen influencers and import lobby is trying hard to divert attention from Tejas's phenomenal success, under-reporting on its stellar performance and over-reporting on the snags. Few muddied positive reports are sprinkled in intermittently lest people suspect their true allegiance.
