I personally think MK1/MK1A/MK1B and MK2/MK2A/MK2B could be the numbers game, and will replace the retiring platforms. AMCA will be less in numbers. Being said that, IAF may Monkey-See-Monkey-Love-Monkey-Take on AMCA once they get a few in their hands. Just like what happened to MK1. BTW, one new co...
