As long as some time is bought for the weapons to become operational it's enough.
Article states 1/3 cost for additional equipment & sorting out old issues.
BTW without this order, ideal factory also lose money right?
It's a loss - loss scenario anyways.
Better to make additional Su or Convert to make tejas..
Ur logic is a joke.both f16 and hornets failed to pass IAF's requirements back in mmrca days and even now the so called f21 is just lipstick on a pig while super hornet shows some promise rafale already has huge advantage over it interms of infra,training,maintenance and weapons etc.yeah and if billions of dollars are nothing to US companies why does USG keeps pushing india to buy their equipments?
“However good your aircraft and weapon systems are, never, ever believe that your adversary is weak. Respect them, prepare for them.”

Most of the indian keyboard warriors in defense forums doesn't know this simple fundamental rule. For them.pakistan is weak, their airforce is shit, now chinese are also useless weak. Someone even coined some weird theory that chinese equipments are tested in battle field hence it will be destroyed in a the war with india.
Glad that USA is not bullying us, or else we would call them also weak.

It is wrong to overestimate yourself, but it is much more wrong to underestimate yourself. The morale of the whole general population starts to go down when you accept that.
Okay, now go to sleep.
So lets say I make you PLAAF commander, how you achieve air superiority in Ladakh and allow ground forces to capture whole Shyok?
It is wrong to overestimate yourself, but it is much more wrong to underestimate yourself. The morale of the whole general population starts to go down when you accept that.
If you ask me, I will rate PAF more potent than PLAAF. They fly well tested and battle proven fighters and armaments. PLAAF has a bucket load of untested platforms and missiles. Its an unknown and it has lots of propaganda going for itself.
Unknow, doubtful, unproven.
Plus all the details that keep on emerging tells a story of systems with too many faults. Like J-20 still missing its engine. So on and so forth.
Man unknown, doesn't means that bad. Logically speaking an army with monstrous military budget wont induct a mediocre weaoons.
And for your info j20 do have an engine, a russian engine.
Who said "bad"? And what is "bad"?
That depends on way too many things. For instance, maturity and responsibility of own MIC and maturity of MIC ready to export you the weapons.
Consider Pakistan and India : Pakistan has till very recently always depended upon American and European weapon systems. And they worked very well for them. PAF has always fielded better platform and weapons than financially stronger IAF. Rafael will be the first platform to really challenge their F-16s. PA's rifles work and their magazines did not crack due to cold weather unlike IA. There are too many such examples.
Coming back to China, where they get their weapons from? From companies who don't have to face any competition at home. Have an assured support of CPC. Or Russia.
Now tell me, why should their weapons and platforms not doubted.
In this reply itself, Your first line contradicts the last line.
Why not? Mki was involved in feb27 incident.Feb 27 discussion in SU 30 thread ...nice, ISPR still paying for trolls
"Doubted" and "bad" are not same thing. Infact, what is "bad"? Doubt means doubting the capability, which I am doing because Chinese platforms and weapns are not battle tested.
But what do you mean by "bad" here? I am asking you because you wanted me to say if it is bad or not.
