People see Russia as a friend. The reality of how they protect their tech and create market for their weapons is not thought out by most. Question is whether the IAF is ready to bite the bullet and support the indigenous path like the Navy did it long back and come out Atmanirbhar or will keep importing? If the IAF is ready to tread this path, I don't think the political class of today will have issue with that.May be they could put their effort in Super Sukhoi Upgrade and increasing the number of MK2's to be ordered. Since the follow on order for Tejas MK1A is placed, think of the next variant of Tejas with Kaveri engine (KDE+New Afterburner as well.)
