Have I mentioned how much I love India when it comes to making decisions on military equipment? That it took 30yrs (And at times it feels like I've been tracking it for that long myself.) to develop and field the
ARJUN Mk 1 and now the almost, we just might've, can't do it, let' make a deal within deal, oops! time for a "timeout", ready to go again, corruption, back on again, "holy cow" (That's irony!?!) we've finally picked a fighter and there'll only be 36 and not the 108 fighters we thought we wanted or needed. Well they at least managed to pick one the RAFALE by some miracle. Over the years I had nothing better to do anyway!?! And the below will bring you up to date om India's
MMRCA fighter program-maybe...

I've been tracking this for a very long time now this program was an early post to this thread also and when I scrolled down
ref 1 and saw 2006/2007 that it started, my first thought was, when did I start out here? I'm not looking, but if someone else does, and I've been on this that long, please do me a favor, make it quick and put me outta my misery PLEASE!?!
And here's your OPLAN (Sorry Don.)
it outta work!?!
Some of these defense sites might feel the same as I do. You can click on each article or just look at the 4 or 5 pages of "tag lines" they reported on concerning the MMRCA program. This is why some of us take a wait and see attitude on equipment submissions.
