Tbf the super hornet won't be a bad option either and we could get the entire production line easily. The f-15 might bring a few problems although it seems cheaper than the rafale.In my opinion should be the logical choice is F15EX, reason is IAF wants jet as early as possible. Rafale cannot do that.
EFT, UK decided not to go for EFT and go for F35,means its future is not bright for the home countries.
F16,is good. But PAF factor will play an unnecessary negative sentiment.
Gripen, Mig 35 & SU 35 a big no.
Only F16 & F15 can meet the rapid production rate, an f15 is the only aircraft didn't have any negatives among these two.
