M-311 like turboprop trainer? LoL :D

m-311 aka s-211 is the only turbofan trainer in basic airforce training,my choice would be pc9/pc21 which would also double in advanced training hence saving time/money on advanced jet trainer.

oh i forgot to add,how many decades will it take for IAF to arrive at the decision , that AJT took over 25 years to decide and buy. LOL.
