Correction here, the last of Mirage 2000 is expected to arrive after upgradation in 2040!!!!After upgrade
The jags migs29/& mirage should last upto 2035
Also su3 should last upto 2040 with super upgrade
So those nos will be stable till 2030
The problem is mig21 and mig 27
Tejas can replace them, sorry tejas WILL replace them
How fast ? Is the question
Fgfa & SEcond mrca amca will add nos upto 2030
So upto 2020
When tejas will be fr replacing retiring fighters
The total nos will remain steady
There after the retirement rate of mig21 & mig 27 will be less than induction rate of tejas & other mrca
So the total nos of fighters will increase till 2025-2027
Thereafter tejas if ordered more will increase nos the other mrca should have been finished inducting and the amca fgfa induction should start in full fledged manner by 2028-2030
Which will go toward replacement of mirage jag mig21 from 2032 onwards also increase overall nos in small quantities every year depending upon retirement schedule
Thats the dumb wisdom of congress and IAf. Pure cannon fodder.
Well we can surely ask Indian army to take those and use as LIFT or CAS planes
