Re: 'Make in India' Single engined fighter
^^^ I agree. I think that when Tejas is making the final push towards operationalization, asking for a foreign single engine fighter is rather troublesome. The IAF and IN needs to be told by the Gov't that Tejas will be the only single engine mass produced aircraft that you will get. Whatever real o...
