In the 126 aircraft MRCA deal involving operation from Leh (Jammu And Kashmir) for high altitude basing test flights. The first two air-crafts (F16 and F18) that went to Leh failed miserably. Both barely manged to lift off at the fag end of the runway, and that too with ZERO payload.
OTOH Mig35 passed the test with flying colours.

Any information on the other 3 contenders Typhoon , Rafale and Gripen and how did they perform at Leh ?
Did Mig-35 passed with useful load ?
