Dear Sohamsri,
I agree that it is critical issue, no guarantee that we will get the guarantee,
but the IAF would want atleast a veral understanding and 126 is a BIG Number. No provider would gamble with such a number. And trust me, our tactical concerns are PAF and PLAAF and I really don't see the US going even close to delivering the hornets to either. Giving to PAF is as good as giving it to PLAAF.
