Doubt any ORCA stuff will happen. Aircrafts take a lot of energy. Even small mods.
More Mig29 most likely won't happen.
If at all numbers need to be made up and older stuff retired, we may pick up retiring M2K coming on the market as a 10 year filler.

P-8I makes more sense at those prices! It can also cover far more ground. Three to four C-295s equal one P-8I. This is twice as expensive as the P-8I. It probably makes sense at ₹800 - ₹1000 crore or so. Nothing more.

One would think he C295 would be 1/3rd the cost, given the platform is 1/3rd the price and has less space and power. Hoping they added like a ridiculous 10 year maintenance and that is why the number is out of whack. Hopefully people can ask what the breakout looks like and why it's so expensive.
