i think this figure is wrong.

Prove me wrong with numbers boy, nobody cares whats you think.

No need to apologize. I would be glad if i am wrong. newbies should be in learning mode.
A basic search would have cleared your doubts. http://bit.ly/1Z2Ing2

PS: Thank with the button right

Only 400?

Going by the article
So 120 Tejas + 120 Gripen + 36 Rafale + 120 F18 or AMCA + 72 SU30 = 468
So far 2_____+_____?______+____?______+___?_________?____+___0_____= 2
We still have 15 years though.

That's just 32 jets per year ;-)

I think Indians are deliberately delaying their defence deals to get the maximum political and diplomatic benefit out of it

Let the Indian purchase what ever they want but they will never ever be the master of the skies of south Asia.

NEW DELHI: Grappling with a drawdown of its fighter jet fleet, India has firmed up a plan to plug the capability gap over the next 10 to 15 years. A top defence ministry source said the Indian Air Force was working towards the target of inducting around 400 warplanes by 2030 to buttress its depleting force levels that set off alarm bells about the country’s ability to tackle a combined threat from China and Pakistan.

T he count of IAF’s fighter squadrons ha s shrunk to 33 (a round 640 fighters) compared to a desirable strength of 42. T he squadron strength is likely to come down to a mere 19 (around 380 warplanes) by 2027, as revealed in a Parliamentary panel report earlier this month.

The source said the IAF would get 120 Tejas light combat aircraft, another 120 twin-engine mediumweight aircraft to be built in India in collaboration with a foreign manufacturer, and an equal number of single-engine fighter planes. India is currently negotiating a deal with France for buying 36 Rafale fighters and 72 Sukhoi-30 fighters are on order. B ridging the capability gap is vital for the IAF that is saddled with ageing Soviet-era fighters.

T he IAF also wants to deploy a total of 15 AW AC S (airborne warning and control system) over the next decade. T he IAF currently operates three Israeli Phalcon AW AC S mounted on Russian IL-76 heavy-lift planes. The system has a range of 400km. Itis also on course to induct two Brazilian Embraer airborne early warning and control (AEW &C ) system aircraft. The AEW &C systems developed by the DRDO are being installed on Embraer-145 jets imported from Brazil.

In M arch 2015, India took the first step towards developing an indigenous AW AC S, with the defence acquisition council giving its go-ahead to a ` 5,113 crore project involving mounting two such complex surveillance systems on the European Airbus A330 platform. Airbus Defence &Space was the only bidder for the AW ACS India programme, making it the first single vendor project to be cleared by the NDA government.

“T he finance ministry has raised some objections but the defence ministry has given a clarification emphasising the operational need for more such platforms,” the source said. As per IAF’s plans, eight AW AC S are required for the eastern border, and five for the western boundary. The IAF wants these monitoring systems to provide 360-degree coverage, which is far more than that offered by (AEW &C ) system aircraft.

India will procure 400 jets in 10 -15 years while PAF would still be trying to fulfill its dream of getting the F-16 number to 100

and you forgot 200+ FGFA plan, now calculate

Modi helps Ambanis go whole hog on defense:

Missiles, subs! Anil Ambani wants to make them all

Seems like India does not have a golf ball, hence it plays with a lemon.

What do you mean I forgot? See post #2 please. And even if you add 200 (250) it is still only 44 (48) per year.

30-40 / year has been the production rate for F-35 since 2009, since 2014 its in to 40-50 ;-)
And that has not yet reached first full rate production batch....

If you (want to) play with the big boys ...

And this here ladies and gentlemen, is the perfect example of paid AAPIYA filth.


Is there a technical reason that you don't want Ambani to make defence equipment? If yes then please share.

How many thousands of hours of flight did it took for those engine failures? What was the MBTF?

Stick to the political section and keep your nonsensical mudslinging limited to that section.

Though achieving this goal is wishful thinking as of today some steps are being taken to remedy this. Parallel assembly line for TejasMk1-A and Mk2 under private sector is being mulled. This should increase the production to anywhere between 24-36 units a year.

A separate production is to be established under "Make in India" which regardless of the nonsense being peddled in Indian media will be Rafale. Mukesh Ambani led Reliance group was Dassault's first choice.

Don't know/can't say about Navy and their plans. If US can offer EMALS & nuclear propulsion without any hiccups then its F-35 all the way if not then Rafale is a safe bet.
