Jammers are useful if you are nose-on or 180 degrees receding, given the fact jammers are nothing but lower powered "versions" of a radar type set-up. If you are maneuvering, your jammers will lose the target aircraft so its radar would work again. So unless you have a towed decoy to sedu...

Su 30 was not supposed to be more than half the fighter numbers. Our dwindling single engine fleet is because many Mig 21 Sqns have been taken off and replacement SE have not been found. Secondly, within the strength authorised, the role for IAF has been expanded. From pure defensive posture, the S...

Chola ji, while I do not have reference links, I will dismiss, Cheeni fighter quality as Crap Minus. Development cycles like Chinese design bureaus are a very stupid way forward. I think we may have taken our time but the way we developed Tejas is what makes world class fighters. Then that is an ev...

It is China we need to prepare. Not Pakis. As we grow in economic power there will be the temptation to China to keep India in its place and prevent other nations of Asia ( and the West) to move closer to us as a counter to China. We can't prepare for the chini challenge by buying phoren. We need t...

42 Sqn maybe arbitrary to you not the Chief. I wish the previous heads had not thought like you and we wouldn't be where we are. But DeeJay Sir, where exactly are we? Are we in such desperate straits that we need infusion of phoren aircraft right now at the expense of local aircraft in the near fut...

deejay

The so-called 42-squadron imperative is arbitrary. We own massive advantages over the pukes and the chinis in all likely theaters of combat for years to come. We have time to build out our industry and not go phoren for making some arbitrary numbers. We can build out the Tejas family (MK1A, MWF, NL...

No Mig 29s are defensive platforms owing to range. Su 30s will be needed ..... In that case FGFA becomes imperative.... we will have to have it too as MKI replacement in 30s and 40s No Manish ji. I understand your enthusiasm and POV but the FGFA is already dead (IMHO please). We may buy a couple of...

Vidur ji, is better placed to answer why delay payment in such cases but I guess, they are following procedure. No attempt to delay Tejas. Malicious to blame IAF. Re process I suggest a group of 3 posters study DPP in detail and using it do a bit of Sherlock Holmes work to see what is happening. Th...

This demand on crew size was brought up in late 90s as Su-30 MKI were being acquired. But what choice do they have with diminishing squadrons, costs and threats? You procure what's available and not hold out for the unattainable. This Jaguar costs for engine was a surprise. Tejas will take time. SU...

From reports (internets) it seems D&D money for LCA Mk1A is sanctioned, and the LCA Mk1A production order will be given when it reaches a certain level of maturity (prototype?). It seems MOD just doesn't get the fact the suppliers need payments in advance and delays in testing & certificati...

I do not know what they are called but they do have something. This Su 30 issue is a bit more than just "fuel guzzling" or just engine problems. They are maintenance heavy and eat up spares. Keeping the spare line working is a tough ask. Operationally, where a 20 aircraft Sqn would have s...

IAF does not control the time of payment. MoD does. Chief does not have financial authority beyond few crores. From reports (internets) it seems D&D money for LCA Mk1A is sanctioned, and the LCA Mk1A production order will be given when it reaches a certain level of maturity (prototype?). It see...

My noob question to learned folks. With my limited reading and understanding of the subject on 'composition of aircraft in airforce', it seems the light fighters usually form the bulk of the airforces with Medium and Heavy fighters occupying less in number.

Deejay, Does IAF have a Systems Engineering or Program Office for Su-30 MKI? That's the gap they have. I do not know what they are called but they do have something. This Su 30 issue is a bit more than just "fuel guzzling" or just engine problems. They are maintenance heavy and eat up spa...

IAF Chief is complaining about Mig21, rightly so. However the Chief needs to answer, why does IAF prefer to fly those obsolete Mig21 until it gets the perfect version of LCA (MK1A)? what's wrong in inducting more Mk1(IOC/FOC)? Even the IOC version is miles ahead of Mig21. Has GoI stopped IAF from i...

If IAF wants HAL to work like a efficient company, it should make timely payments. Only if payments are delayed due to some contractual issues then it would be HAL’s fault. Timely payments allow for circulation of money and materials and so IAF should try to be more responsive ( if HAL is telling t...

This would be ideal, but as Indranil has said: there is skepticism on the efficacy of this, given that no information exists that the Apaches are going to be networked with LCHs. Also, no confirmation that any data linking is planned between these two helo types. And no weapons compatibility either...
