That is great news. But remember 10-12 aircraft with all the bells and whistles will be half a billion dollars (assuming N-LCA is 40-50 million dollar a piece). That would mean bye bye 26 Rafale-M in the short-term. If they are going for it, it should be to fight real wars not just for training and...
