Not all Jags will retire before 2030. Last Jags to come out of HAL were in 2007/08. Assuming another 18 Rafale before 2023, 91 Tejas (73 Mk-1A and 18 trainers) , 21 MiG-29 Upgrade, 12 Su-30 MKIs and 10-15 MRFA, we get to 150 or thereabout. We will be sure about the numbers only after they...

Yes no chance that the IAF will look to get used Mirages. The Jaguar airframes acquired from Oman and France are being used as donors. Even the MiG-29 being acquired are said to be zero hour airframes. IIRC the IAF was looking at the Brazilian Mirages keenly as they had a load of hours on them...

Mahindra Defence ALSV with the Indian Army in the DRC: Hopefully we see them a lot more in CI/CT areas replacing older Gypsies. Thanks to @Unknowncommando

India’s First Indigenous Air-Launched Radar-Killing Missile Is Headed For Service https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/36988/indias-first-indigenous-air-launched-radar-killing-missile-is-headed-for-service

It is a start, 1.45 Lakh will equip fighting formations of two whole commands (that are bigger than most armies) Out of 1.3M not all are frontline fighting units.

The numbers are relative. 1.45 Lakh rifles is huge.

Happy Air Force Day to EAF!

Change of guard at the Fire and Fury Corps

Here is the brand new ALH Mark-3 for the ICG!

Yes no system is 100% foolproof. Layered AD is what will help in achieving a good result. For the Indian AD Command, the MRSAM(Barak-8 ) will overlap with the S-400 among others and this will be networked with the IACCS nodes.

https://www.sundayguardianlive.com/news/lockheed-martin-offers-f-21-indias-exclusive-use Thank Sukhoi for that. They pitched the Su-35 as there were no MTOW limits for the aircraft competing for the contract and Boeing (in as much words) said that the Su-35s are cute and offered the F-15EX. IAF...

More glimpses from Leh The Black Archers are the ones entrusted with guarding the frontier there: The Squadron just celebrated their 60th birthday early this year: The CO seen here second from left, also lead the IAF delegation to Ex Eastern Bridge at RAFO Masirah last year flying and...

He was a supervisor at HAL Nashik who probably fell for a trap. Unfortunate but can be avoided. Will definitely serve as a deterrent to HAL/MoD civilian employees who are not careful about social media interactions.

No, Boeing is yet to apply for a clearance for the F-15EX for a potential sale to India and the MoD here is yet to issue an "Acceptance of Necessity"(Step 1 in a long list of steps). The strongest contender from the US is still the F-16.....errm F-21, because of the cost. Regarding more...

Beautiful ship, EN needs to also get NH-90s/MH-60s for ASW/ASuW. RSN just got the MH-60R,if EN gets them, it will mean more commonality and will definitely help in deterring any adversary submarine.
