This should be a lesson for India , a lesson to prepare for the worst. Its time the government decides to buy atleast a small number of f16s of the 125 fighters its has decided to aquire. The number doesn't have to be significant so as to feel the danger of economic sanctions from US. But a small number is definitely required. Since these can be used to train on and also understand dog fights against this fighter more closely using other aircrafts in our inventory. The airforce surely understands this neccessity. I sincerely hope that our shortsighted indian government too understands this requirement soon.
