I guess we'd have to wait till Trump leaves office, as NSA Doval is reported to have told Rubio regarding the now removed additional US tarrifs over our oil trade w/Russia.
We could placate Trump by buying more US military wares(but not fighter jets) along with reviving the now defunct FGFA deal as it predates CAATSA. The deal would pick up only once we sign the Rafale deal and once PAF get their first J-35s.
) is now in quite advance stage. We could modify the jet as per our needs along with getting access to MUM-T(as S-70 is also on offer). Let's see.There's only a few things on the shopping list that we'd really need from the US - P8I, MQ-9. Things like Stryker, Javelin we have domestic alternatives to.We could placate Trump by buying more US military wares(but not fighter jets) along with reviving the now defunct FGFA deal as it predates CAATSA.

Russian team has already submitted their report about Su-57 local manufacturing and now HAL being out of AMCA, FGFA is their only saving 5th gen grace. Also, as confirmed by UAC officials, the contract(yes, contract
more P8Is along with awarding US L1 in the MALE aircraft deal as well as the engine deals with the US for the F404 and F414 should be enough for them to shut up and increase in bilateral trade as they diversify away from what is clearly a hostile economy in china would keep them happy. Although the su57 is still very risky but india really needs to get the rafale and the engine deal with france and all the deals with the US to show them that we are till playing middle ground and are on their side relative to china since we tooo face the same security threat

The phrasing in the tweet is misleading as it is trying to say that IAF has asked for NVG compatible cockpit only now. Is there any confirmation that IAF asked for this only now, or was this always a requirement for Mk1A?
LCA cockpit has been NVG compatible from day-1. This is a basic necessity.
HAL is involved in none of these projects you posted!!
Comical BS by twitter cult boys.
You got any hard evidence to prove these NVGs were part of the original agreed-upon QRs?
I can't prove a negative, buddy. First, you have to prove it exists. The burden of proof is on you. Gossip is not a proof.
Well you are the one over here saying the NVGs were part of the original agreed-upon QRs, so the burden of proof is on you kid, not me.
Typical ragebait engagement farming post jumping into the trend to get engagement. Buddy you need to calm down and think wisely. Such things are basic requirement for a jet. And LCA cockpit has been NGV compatible from day one as someone has already mentioned above...what next our Twitter boys wishing that IAF induct Tejas Mk1A without engine now? I am Tejas fanboi but this bs argument thrown by many that IAF selectively reduces QRs for imported jets not for indigenous is a half baked theory. For their kind information Tejas Mk1 was inducted with a lot of compromises back in the days. Was Tejas Mk1 an imported aircraft? Nope..
