theres a lot of american control over what israelis sell to anyone in the world...frankly.. they can sell things to india .. but i dont think america will let russia have the real imp stuff that makes PAF-FA better as that will hurt the americans a lot..
We surely can use the stuff in MCA project ,
The problem is that we have a lot of mutual trust with both israelis and russians.And so we wont like sell the stuff to countries that they consider as threat.
Though the israelis as such wont have any problems with india taking not so imp. stuff for PAK-FA /MCA but they wont like these machines being sold to iran and other muslim countries that isreali considers as a threat.Like it would be difficult that US will let israelis give us AESA tech bec its a tech that makes a difference.
Though i do think that any PAK-FA project's components developed in india will definitely contain a lot of israeli help obvously under the table.
...and the russians would thus be interested to give a lot of avionics work to india..(just a guess)..
There were even some reports that russians were talking with French ( and even china )for cooperation in Fifth gen fighter .. Does anyone know about any status inthat matter.. i mean did thye mean PAk-Fa or somethin else... are the french into it/interested in it.I think the french input can make a lot of difference.. They surely are good in Avionics..
Though chineese really cant offer anythin other than money.(Even indians are just gonna offer some money and stuf they learned in designing in MKI. LCA. )
I wonder why did russians prefer indians over Chineese .. Was it jsut a political decision or indians did have somethin decent to offer...Again only time will tell what do the indians contribute..
