For the MCRA, the best bet is to buy the following
1. 30 Mig-35, to eventually replace Mig-29
2. 40 Rafael to replace the Mirage , since the Rafael is designed to carry nukes
3. 30 F-18 since it can also land on aircraft carrier
4. Bulk of buy must be Gripen-NG, qty 100
In except for specialised tasks for which Sukhoi-MKI, Rafael, etc,
everything else must be Gripen
Gripen is as cheap as Mig-35, and much better quality build
and has much less infrastructure demands
The Gripen is an LCA that performs like a MCA
