Thanks buddy. It is much appreciated. IAF is planning to induct over 210 Tejas in total as per recent recent reports. Which would be a really positive sign for Indian Airforce. But it will take awhile for India stop buying Russian. India is even depended on bullets and even rifles from Russia. Although many things are made in India, it is Russian technology. India is even dependent on Russian veto in the UNSC. If the west continues to support India for sometime. It will be possible for India to seperate from dependence on Russia.

Finally some one who appreciate India . Thanks bro. You are one of few who show some respect to us most are steriotypical of India and always looking down on us even after we show them again and again that India can do it .

Reference to F16 flying better than LCA because of control laws? Actually it is the opposite.
