actually the US is not a bakra at all it makes perfect sense to them to start selling their f-16's as is they are going to start replacing them with the f-35 in a few years , f-16 for the united states is now old tech and the united states does not give a damn about these planes being used against India.
· site surveys and end-use monitoring, including annual inventories of all equipment related to the F-16s, by US officials;
· dedicated facilities for storage of spare parts and maintenance;
· strict limitations on access to the planes;
· complete segregation of the F-16s from third country-origin aircraft;
· express permission from the US government before Pakistan can fly the planes outside of its own airspace;
· full compliance with the security plan before the planes, weapons and equipment can be delivered.
Pakistan is the Bakara to accept this sort of aid

Originally posted by Whill View PostThe difference is China already has J-10 under mass production. They were able to put together all the resources needed despite arms embargoes. Now compare that to LCA.
India is a democratic country where Indian Armed Forces independently chooses its all systems with no intervention by others (example T-90S and Arjun) while china is ruled by communist dictators so whatever weapon may be they produce, have to be selected by PLAAF. Now compare that to J-10. ;)

If LCA is renamed "DEMOCRATIC FIGHTER" will that substitute for lack performance ? There are lot of Democratic countries who have developed outstanding fighters.

What Performance failures are you referring to as concerns LCA?
In its category LCA is ranks amongs the Best. LCA is Light Combat Aircraft, its not medium or Heavy AC so it cannot be compared to Grippen or Rafale or SH.
LCA was conceptualized to fullfill the role of Mig-21 Bisons, and once it takes to the skies it would do that Job very effectively.
Moreover, Developmental issues cannot be called as performence lack. Performance Lack would be when LCA is rolled out and is not able to perform as per expectations.

However, I guess almost every other AC[especially the first ones' that a country makes on its own] is delayed and is not on time.
This Article explains the time it took for China to come with J-10. India is no different and has a lot less industrial base than China and a lot less financial resources at its disposal than China.

BTW whether you accept it or not all the systems of LCA are working fine and IAF will soon have first squadron of it.Last edited by P_Gurung; 29 Jul 08,, 04:41.
