Why ?? Uk and France were larger economy than us just few years ago ! How many jets do they have??I am speaking our strength reaching porkies sq strength in generalized manner not capability but just Rae nos where as being 5th largest economy is shame for us
Paki numbers are a joke since they have stopped retiring old mirage 3-5 which are totally obsolete and barely flying.
Meanwhile a single rafale can perform twice the mission role of Mirage 2000 which can perform twice the mission role of older f7/ m3/ m5 .
Besides we have had a great expansion of surface to ait capacity with akash , mrsam , qrsam and s400 . Which have replaced necessity of point defence fighters like mig21 to large extent.
But I agree to deal with China we need more numbers. But against Pakistan we are already overkill.
