We have two choices :-
1. Buy f-35s, knowing nothing about its technology..... staying on the american mercy....having nighmares in its maintainence
OR
2. Build the fifth gen fighter with russia in which half the work is done by us, and we know about every single piece of technology that is being used....plus we can even design it according to our requirements.
I dont think any1 will defer that the second one is a better choice.

I'm not so sure about "half the work is done by us". Apart from maybe some avionics and some electronic gadgets , I'm sure Indian involvement in the project is more due to money. Second, how can you compare an aircraft which is flying to one which is still on the design board?
