[Nareshji,
Without deliberating, India can go in for 4 dozen each of Mirage-2000N and upgraded MIG-29 or 35 whatever you may call. We have the entire necessary infrastructure. This would fill up the immediate requirement. The rest of the numbers can be filled up with F-18, not so much for its strategic value but as a symbolic gesture towards USA, which of late has shown some interest to be in the same boat with us. It will also give a sense of perpetual insecurity to Pakistan. (Who thinks USA cannot survive without it)
Jai Hind
