There was hope for NLCA as a training squadron. Maybe between 12-18. Sjha didnt say much about that. If 189 is Rafales, then it probably includes the naval orders in it. No way IAF gets 189 of those puppies. No budget for that. NLCA will come IMVHO. The Navy will need it for the lack of a twin seat...
