Re: Indian Military Aviation

People neeed to stop dreaming. IAF will never require more than 40-50 IL-76 MF's. IAF is not planning to station troops and materials in Africa or latin america. IAF does require about 40-50 IL-76 MF's(60 tonne), 100-110 MTA, 60-80 odd RTA(An-32 substitute). That is a very potent lift capability by ...

Re: Indian Military Aviation

The C-17 will hopefully be squashed by MOD. It is an unnecessary expenditure. Il-76 MF would be ideally suited for IAF requirements and budget. If outsized cargo needs to be carried then 4-6 An-124 should be purchased. For the price of 10 C-17's IAF can easily procure 4 Condors and 20 Il-76's or jus...

Re: MRCA News and Discussion

That would ideally be EF or Rafale but since IAf will be buying up PAK-FAs in less than a decade, will they want to spend on 200 costly gen 4+ aircrafts? Mig-35's or Mirage 2k-5's would have been ideal since both are technologically superior to anything in PLAAF or PAF.

The F-18 and F-16 simply won't make the cut. Too old too costly and have no similarity to anything in IAF inventory and will come with a massive political baggage.
