Rs. 1.15 lakh crore for 97 jets seems a bit too high to me, are we expecting additional weapons, support, PBL, spares packages to better maintain operational tempo?LIVE
# 180 MK1A order as whole will cost 1.15 Lakh crore.
# MK2 numbers won't be affected by the additonal 97 MK1A order.

The way CAS said in the interview , he meant that whole 180 combined would be worth of 1.15 lakh crore, means same 70-80M per jet with all logistics, as it was during 2021.Rs. 1.15 lakh crore for 97 jets seems a bit too high to me, are we expecting additional weapons, support, PBL, spares packages to better maintain operational tempo?
Mk-2 nos have already been downsized from ~200 nos in around 2015 to last read numbers of ~ 110 nos . We actually don't know as of now how many does the IAF plan to procure but rest assured if they enhance the order for the Mk-1a which is almost a certainty as of the present then it'd eat into the numbers of the Mk-2 .LIVE

As our economy grows we should be planning to field at least 1- MK2 for 2 -J-10C China has. Although production has stopped ,yet they've build up fleet of 600 J10C. I can easily see MK2 numbers crossing 200+.Mk-2 nos have already been downsized from ~200 nos in around 2015 to last read numbers of ~ 110 nos .

What's more , the more we delay the MRFA the more it clashes with induction of the Mk-2 & the AMCA Mk-1 which is a direct competitor to the Rafale ( assuming Rafales are the chosen MRFA ) meaning Mk-2 & AMCA Mk-1 will eat into MRFA numbers in terms of financial limitations as far as the former goes & duplication of functionality as far as the latter goes..
Unfortunately , it's a decade too late for that .As our economy grows we should be planning to field at least 1- MK2 for 2 -J-10C China has. Although production has stopped ,yet they've build up fleet of 600 J10C. I can easily see MK2 numbers crossing 200+.
We gotta play the cards we are dealt. Xi is also bidding the time. He has decided to rule till he die.Unfortunately , it's a decade too late for that .
4.5 gen aircraft are as relevant today and in the long term future as they were 10 years ago.Unfortunately , it's a decade too late for that .
It's not the relevance , it's the numbers I'm referring to .4.5 gen aircraft are as relevant today and in the long term future as they were 10 years ago.
All MiGs will be phased out.Hi Guys, in the year 2032, the Indian Air Force will be 100 years old, any idea what fleet composition might look like? Thanks
