There is no way in hell Indians will get F35 anytime soon....Imagine they just destroyed the second best of Wstern aviation without aircraft having fired back at the enemy and now we are expecting them to give their finest F35 to India to destroy that as well???
Even Saudis after handing away $500B are not getting F -35......what is the value to India to America?
Few lousy billion dollars and that comes with a great possibility that they will destroy that aircraft in no time at all.
Also practically with ZERO technology or codes sharing Indians will not be able to hang their few systems that they insist on adding to make product "Indian"
and the biggest beast of all is S400 and other Russian hardware in use.......They kicked Turkey out of the program for operating S400.
The solution to the predicament of F-35’s operating alongside S-400s for now, remains elusive.
