MMRCA 2 and some questions
1) Do the #IAF can afford the huge financial support they need ?
There's no doubt that it will take huge cost even if spanned for several years.

2) Accepting that IAF will have the capability to afford even 20+ Bln USD , will not investing lion share of this into indigenous development (rest for stop gap mesure procurement) will lead to a better future for IAF than procuring foreign jets ?
3) F-21 and Gripen E are contenders. And if LCA Mk. 2 not going to be inferior than those then why not going for larger orders for Mk. 2 instead ? With additional orders for Mk. 1A as stop gap and procuring Mk. 2 in huge no will not be a better option where SEF can be contender ?
4) If we go for a different platform and no further orders of Rafale placed , will not be a faux pas ? If we gave financial support, isn't it better to have all 150 Rafales than 36 Rafale + 114 other platform ?
5) Now coming to procurement by #IndianNavy. Will procurement of same platform for both IAF and navy be a better option than going for different platforms by navy & IAF ?
6) Now reports are coming that instead of 57 , much lower no of jets will be procured for navy. Why Boeing is investing much in ski-jump capability of F/A-18 if at the end procurement will be much less ?
