...т.к. доля современных российских истребителей и так велика (Су-30МКИ, МиГ-29, МиГ-29К, индийский ПАК ФА). Особенно выделяется Су-30МКИ, который составит основу индийских ВВС в недалеком будущем.
Srinjoy's sources tell him the air force has based its trial evaluation report (submitted on August 1) on the overarching and unstated directive that it needs select a "modern western combat aircraft".

Anyway, by this frame of reference, according to Srinjoy's sources, the MiG-35 is out because it isn't western or modern -- the IAF definitely doesn't want to squander this opportunity buying more Russian hardware.
