With current fighter quality and quantity, a drubbing is certainty. Obsolete Migs, Jaguar make 50% of our fighter strength. Rest are too few and dispersed throughout the commands. LCA is made in boutique numbers and Rafale are too few to change outcomes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-69906359940603925192022-09-01T01:36:04.450-07:002022-09-01T01:36:04.450-07:00Sir,

SU30s are expensive to operate and have low serviceability. More mk1a continuously improved and straight on to Amca mk1.

It would help utilize Su-30 production line which is idle and help double the production rate. We don't need to wait for exports to start production. With the chines breathing down our necks, Tejas will be extremely useful for CAP missions compared to Su-30 or Rafale. We can also account for delays in setting up mk2 production line this way.Ben - Yours trulyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07594456179410909178noreply@blogger.com
