We should aim for a 3000+ Aircraft size airforce by 2030.
Not gonna happen. All we need is to match what chinese can deploy in Tibet and fend off porkys obsolete airforce.
China has to put most of it's airforce against japan , usa on East coast. Tibet geography also forced to minimise deployment.

700 modern jets are enough and eventually 1000+

Right , we shouldn't be focused on aerial warfare , they are hell lot of work we need to do , territory expansion is one of them , we should focus our funds towards strategic sectors , proxy warfare should be used ,israel is powerful not just because of its armed forces but their covert operation capability too.
We should focus on cats warrior and it's successors , indigenous transport planes , heavy lift helicopter with new design after hal imrh

Good points. While looking at airforce strength role of drones , attack helicopters must be considered. Previously all these works were done by fighter jets.

If we have 200 ( rudra + apache + lch) then that's 200 less fighter jets needed for close air support.

These discussions have been repeated multiple times. Conclusion is always same. Unless world war 3 starts we don't need anything over 1000 jets nor our budget at 2% of GDP allows more plane by 2035. Only after that we can see more expansion.
114 MMRCA, 170 LCA-AF-MK2, 83 LCA Tejas MK1A, 100 LCA LIFT etc then hundreds of wingmans, Ghataks, Rustoms etc. we should focus on 3000+ aircrafts by 2030 and beyond.

China and Russia talked about Su 35 before 2010, mainly in terms of quantity,The last contract signed in 2014 was for 24 aircraft at $2 billion and $850 billion each.
J20 didn't formally in service until the end of 2017 and officially mass produced in 2018.

Look at the chronological order,The agreement was signed long before J20 was completed.

In fact, some people in China have suggested buying Su 57 to study if Russia want sell it,there must be a difference parts between it and the J20 and the F22

China first purchased Su 27, Kilo class submarines, S300/400 air defense missiles,Then India and other countries follow, next time India should buy first,Now it is estimated that the S400 has been fully studied over by China
You are an idiot. India didn't buy su27 it bought su30 in mki configuration. Later china copied india and orderd su30mkk following indian example.

Atleast get your facts straight before making a fool of yourself.

You sure? Then why were the Turks able to kick Russian AD's in Syria(Idlib, I think) while the Ruskies had AD in huge numbers there?
Note the circumstances then and there.
