"So which multi-role Generation 4.5 fighter would you recommend for the Indian Air Force?"

Ha, probably whatever is the easiest to maintain - I've heard F-16's are great from a maintenance stand-point, and with avionics upgrades still one of the best in the air and versatile as all hell, (cheap, too).

I wouldn’t recommend the Viper, ‘coz the Pakis fly them. What if Pakistani and Indian F-16s engage in a furball gun-range dogfight? Fratricide would be extremely likely due to the jet speeds and misidentification friend or foe can be easy. The Superbug, Rafale, Gripen and MiG-35 are four choices on the table.
