European 5th Generation Fighters

Not really, there may not be any Indian input as of now, but India and Russia will have the right to veto sales on both versions as a part of the deal. AFAIK India will hold 30% rights on Pak-Fa and 50% on FGFA

A source on that would be nice. Also why would India veto the deal to begin with?

Ok, seems like i might have to eat my words on this one, i couldn't locate the source claiming India's 30% funding share in the entire project and veto apart from speculations :mad :tomato, but i did find one for the FGFA JV in which Sukhoi and HAL are equal partners in terms of funding

India, Russia close to PACT on next generation fighter

Well aware on the FGFA, and it's quite possible that India has 30% of total funding in the T-50 (PAK-FA+FGFA). However do they have 30%, or even any % on the PAK-FA project? I doubt it.

Can't wait to see FGFA when it comes out. Are we talking new fighter or is it going to be just PAKFA with different radar, electronics,etc and produced in India?

I don't think India would be to kin on Russia selling PAKFAs to VZ as they are getting pretty cozy with China, not good for India letting China at look at PAKFA therefore a pretty good idea about FGFA.

On the contrary, things are heating up in south china sea. Indo-Vietnam relations are an important part of India's look east policy.

Not just Indo-Vietnam relations.
But also Russia-Vietnam relations, as Russia was and still is Vietnams biggest arms suppliers.
But it remains to see if Russia will show up with any fleet to support Vietnam though..

My bad, by VZ I meant Venezuela. I don't think India would be happy to see PAKFA sold to them as Hugo Chavez seems to start to be better friends with China than Russia. I don't think India would have a big problem with Vietnam buying PAKFA, though this is probably still a VERY long time away buy for them.
