Its a question of wheter it is due to equipment, or due to politics. India wants to become a global player, and they want to forge good relations with other powers besides their traditional ally Russia. They already bought close to 1000 tanks in the past couple of years alone, so the MMRCA might go to Europe to forge new arms/political relations.

The 80's were Russia's time. Western Europe has caught up & overtaken in many area's now. This is not to understimate the Russians tho. You never know what they're developing :)

I can't predict which jet would win because we don't know all the sensitive info about the avionics of these jets but the EF was quite a bit ahead of the SU35 in the MMRCA technical evaluation (super cruise/agility/high altitude performance/sustained g etc). India chose to turn their back on their traditional supplier

@52111 PS: Russia makes very good airframes & this is what gave them the advantage pre super computers. Pre 1990, Russia had the fighters on lockdown (well, the USAF was the only one to be able to compete). This is not applicable nowadays tho because we can make a brick fly using computers. On jets like EF, if the computers fail the jet falls out of the sky. This is not so for Russian jets but they ake allot more skill to fly. Western pilots just have to focus on the mission rather than the jet

@52111centrumcz It's counter development. The UK's Tornado has an agility disadvantage over Russian jets so UK developed ASRAAM which makes this void. GR4 will fly very low & in excees of mach 1.2 to evade. If it gets into a WVR scrap it will use the ASRAAM with an offbore capability of about 160 degrees. Ozz brought this missile for their F-18's for the same reason. EF recently destroyed SU35 which is why India weren't intrested in it despite it being cheaper & them already having Russian jets

@Melchersson Yeah man. My inbox is overwhelming lol. I've been away for a week and I've had to ignore half of the PM's. Hayypy new years to you too mate. India are about to chose between the Raffy and Typhoon. A decision is expected within a week. Grippen has managed to export and is looking s tho it will get more deals so the future looks good for Grippen. If the Raffy doesn't sell then Dassault will have to close the production lines so they need it more than EADS

@Melchersson found it on the SAAB company website. Interesting.

@TheARMAProductions Hi there mate! Your certainly a hard one to get in touch with, to many mails? Happy new year from Sweden!

@52111centrumcz Theres a report from the red-flag exercise to search for on google.I´m sorry if im in this writing moment cant recall if it was 2 Czech or Hungarians? : ( But I certainly remember that they were without awacs support.

@merseysidederby

The F-22 is not rated to exceed Mach 1.6 for longer than five minutes due to skin heating effects warping the airframe. Stop posting bullshit.

@Melchersson

do you have any news reports where I could validate this? Seems very interesting to me (being Czech and all :)
