:-) :-) I shall continue to dream ..... The role of the Growler is stand off, stand-in and escort EW/EA support and SEAD/DEAD over land. With the type of payload, range, loiter, and refueling capability (besides just a recovery tanker) that the mission requires it is quite likely that that mission ...

This certainly is thread that just keeps on giving. Perhaps one of the more robust discussion threads after tejas for me.

Thank you for the good word. In fact, if you look at the entire list of IAF on similar lines (old--->new aircraft), you'll realize how the space for light fighters has shrunk within IAF. Most Su-30MKI squadrons are old Mig-21 squadrons. So, Tejas replacement for Mig-21 argument is long gone! Tejas ...
