20-25 years is a very small time frame for any fighter jet life...and we are assuming that US will support us in war with china....

I am all for adding more jets... that's needed but not from US of A . Buy more rafael's...they are at par with US hardware and french have supported us when needed like russians....
I don't think anybody will ever have any confusion regarding superiority of Rafale over secondhand F16/F18s (or even firsthand F16/F18).

point is, will we be able to afford Rafale (114+) without disturbing other requirements? if yes then good, else we've to deal with 32/34 squadrons till mwf, orca etc comes into picture and I don't think that time frame is less than 15 years (or 12 yrs, very very very best case scenario)

Why we cannot afford them is the question... already we have LCA flying and the life cycle for next development is very less now...with LCA maturing it will only fasten the MWF / ORCA proces.s.... wheel is invented... its just a matter of fine tuning the edges

So this french dude just gave a nod to the official abort range for any adversary at 40K for an Amraam is 70miles. Meaning the it can travel up to 70miles or more. This info is considered classified. :hmm:
This is why you require a better radar to detect an AAMRAM launch early. Else its attrition game.

So our IAF pilot would have to abort at least at this specific altitude way before 70 miles (112Km) considering BARS radar of MKI has a max range of scan mode of 160 miles. Thank goodness. Other MKI can detect an AAMRAM launch and share the info to other 3rd gen jets we have.

Its interesting from the article that an Mig-35 radar is the most powerful one.

With sixteen fighter's of 8 each of MKI's And the MIG's flying north of Leh and diverting through to the east in the direction of the hotan at low altitude's, where hardy any PLA AD's are stationed with a phalcon to guide them . Armed with the NGARM's , SAAW's and R 77M's missile are enough to take the entire base , and we take out their's 8 percentages of the all PLAAF's combat aircraft's in a single air strike's . And there you have a total control of the skies's . I explained it's in a great details on the Shaksgam Threade's .

Couple of CBU-105's will wipe out that whole base in minutes

Well , the Hotan Air station is a lage air base and with atleast two operational runway's and almost 60 HAS's in a group of 4 each by 8 and AD's around the air base so we will need atleast that much weapon's to wipe out in a single strike's . The Hotan Air station can hold atleast 100 Aircraft's at a single time's .

Attack with a whole different assortment of weapons. Glide bombs would also be
good for this base.
