Why IAF Declined F-35 in MRFA Tender Despite Intense US Promotion

Better to collaborate with Japan for 5th Gen Fighter Jet Production like co-operation with Japan in Lunar Space Program - Chandrayan -4. China will feel the heat .

India needs a 5th gen fighter atleast in limited quantities.

Sir, Japan already has a fifth generation fighter in the form of the F-35, which they are locally building. They are also part of the GCAP program for a sixth generation fighter. Hence, any collaboration with them on a new fifth generation fighter would be highly unlikely.

Russian intrest group in armed forces and Bureaucracy are big obstacle in inducting F-35,F-36, F-15EX-II now India don't need support of Kashmir we must be free to buy military platform on merit not on political pressure ! We bought Su-30 which in inferior to F-15 EX-II we also bough Jaguars which India not needed better we had bought F-16s in 1990s

No with the Sukhoi Super Upgrade program, the upgraded Su-30 MKI will be vastly superior to the F-15 EXII.
