Well, a fighter at best operational ready by mid-2030 should get a new engine already by late 30s? … and even more, you did not get a fourth generation engine - aka the Kaveri - runing within 20+ years and now want to get an even more advanced engine in less time?
, after operations on other's land, then the Rafale is found to be having better Air to Ground capabilities than any of Indian Combat Aircrafts like SU30mki 'stealth'......
Su-30MKI "Stealth"?.
a comparison between Mirage2000-5 Vs LCA mk1, as below:
it was said that Mirage2000H was having preference for Nuclear Attack from Indian side, if needed, at least till the last century.....
but now we find the ordered LCA mk1 is very useful on border operation, if the operation is done within Indian territory. as, if you have to cross border and conduct operation in China's and Pakistan's territories, then India has SU30mki 'stealth' only. we find the Rafale is not reliable, fail to win confidence that it can successful cross the border of Neighbors and conducts successful Air to Ground attack, if needed. here, if we consider that the pilot who won't back so easily,
even Mig35 in MRCA tender was having better Air to Air capabilities as compared to J10 and F16, at least having some better 'point tests' than Rafale to survive in air and cross the international border to reach the expected targets of rival's land to conduct Air to Ground operations on rival's territories......
Rafale and LCAs are mostly expected to be kept within Indian territory this way, ..... the Mirage2000H was having some reliability to successfully cross the international border for Air to Ground operation outside Indian border, as, those times was in favour of Mirage2000h, as the time has changed now, the rivals of India are no having better defence equipment now......
here as below, the LCA mk1 is compared with Mirage2000h
