That gora is wrong.
It was possible 25 years back when we basically changed most of the Russian stuff with our own but still radar reminded russian.
Here they already have functional Ga arsenide aesa ( at least 3 antennas ) ,integrated maws ,rwr ,IRST ,DIRCM and other counter measures.
With only 2 squadrons why waste do much time changing things when their solution seems good enough and functional.If We intend to do that ,then it is better to not get su-57 as this will waste too much time and money.
Just buy 2 squadrons off shelf and spend the rest of the money on AMCA.
Can you do that with rafale having 30 times more rcs ?
At least make a balanced analysis.
I am even fine with getting just LCA and putting all money on AMCA but not sold on rafale. It simply will sip all money we have for a capable ( but not enough ) 4.5 gen.
It needs to be opposite ,good enough 4.5 and very very good 5 gen going forward.
Sorry for harsh words.
@KUnknown3371@alpha_defense We don't have any avionics ready to integrate it with which are better than Russians at the moment.
Whenever we have is at the most ground tested ,not manufactured or tested in air especially the radar.
@alpha_defense Not different from what you do.
Spread the opposite news.
Rafale rafale 24/7 when everyone knows it will be a blunder when we upgrade in next 10 years.
