Hello All,
Political considerations apart, which fighter should the InAF choose? After some thought, I came to the conclusion that the MiGs would have a better chance at A2A (better radar range and longer range AAMs, TVC, HMS), while the Mirages have a better chance at A2G (Scalp E + 9 hardpoints).
Then again, I seem to remember reading that the Mirages also have a new HMS and the MiG29Ks have a much improved A2G ability - (carries the Switchblade a2g/anti ship missile - 130km range among a variety of other a2g weapons including the possibility of western weapons!).
One distinct advantage for the MiG : cheaper.
All educated opinions are welcome.
Regards,
USS.
