#4 The FC-20 is the perfect plane if you need a cheap jet fighter to impress the home crowd, and more importantly, to keep the home crowd in line.

I'm rather guessing that it doesn't impress the Indian Air Force, though I'm also sure that the IAF won't take the potential threat likely.

And I'm sure U.S. Navy Air isn't quivering in fear.
