Is 12 months of training on a few Rafale aircraft the basis for combat doctrine ?

The doctrine is largely in-place, far earlier, as a process of evaluating each aircraft platform. He is talking about air combat tactical training

Far more than enough

 

[NAVDEEP DHALIWAL]

I think Rafael basically will take over mirage roles with enhanced capability.
Before any1 argue remember iAf had no choice but to relegate Mirage the role, which should be given to medium fighter. Like Rafael

French and Indian exercises with Rafales how far we have come just a decade or so earlier Rafales were patrolling Arabian sea really close to Indian sea borders as not to give Indians chance to deploy Naval assets against Pakistan on USA's behalf


No one is perfect... these are machines more u use more chance of crash... IAF does much more training with her assets than a nation like pakistan with much less resources ..
Mainly coz India can replace her losses

Give it a rest. You are petty poor nation, with over 550 million dirt poor people. Stop boosting.

Unlike India who had to rely on a minute state like Israel to save it's neck during the last major conflict with Pakistan......Pakistan OTOH doesn't need any Western country to protect it from India....in any case, PAF was exercising and checking out the Rafales long before India decided to grow Coconuts and Lemons on it.

Latest info reveals that Indian SU-30s are just 46% serviceable, alas if they don't fly, they don't die.....in any case what has the so called much more training done for the IAF except getting ridiculed for boasting like cricket scores and i guess when you end up shooting down own assets even during a minor skirmish then you do need to replace your losses.

Hope India buys some of every jet out there and goes broke and crashes all of them

Hope is great... like pakistanis can hope for F-35 but can only get JF-17s ...

Rafale and mirage2000 will.carry out surgical strikes together in tandem.

ie 4 Rafale
4 mirage2000 dash 5
4 su30mki providing top cover

formidable group of fighters

and we have enough for each group to strike 10 separate targets

scary I agree

Indian, French Rafale Fighter Jets to Carry Out SKYROS Wargames in Jodhpur
ANI Dec 29, 2020 04:36 PM IST

New Delhi, December 29: In a major development amid the ongoing border conflict with China, Rafale fighter jets of India and France will carry out wargames codenamed Exercise SKYROS in Jodhpur in the third week of January next year.


This would be the first major wargame of the Indian Air Force (IAF) involving the Rafale fighters which were inducted into the service in August 2020 by Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government.


The wargames being conducted are different from the routine Garuda series exercises that the two sides have been carrying out for more than a decade now and would see some complex manoeuvres being carried out by the fighters of both sides, the sources said.

India had last carried out a major exercise with the French Air Force in July 2019 where the Indian Sukhois had flown with the French Rafales. The IAF is also planning to use Rafales and Su-30s in integrated mode and a lot of steps have already been taken in this direction by the service.

The Rafales and the Su-30s have been deployed in tandem by the IAF in eastern Ladakh against the Chinese Air Force which has been flying regularly from bases close to India.

France has been helping India to arm its Air Force as India is getting 36 of Rafale fighters from there as part of a Rs 60,000 crore deal. The last aircraft under the deal is likely to be received by the end of 2022.

India and China are engaged in a conflict over territorial issues and aggression by the Chinese People's Liberation Army in Ladakh. More than 50,000 troops have been deployed by India in reaction to the Chinese deployment there.

Su-30 MKI will also participate.

Proves Rafale is now fully integrated into IAF and is ready for operational use and hence participating in large scale exercises with foreign air forces

And their debris will soon be nicely packaged and will be sent to a country who will find the DNA out that, and will soon be launching a nicer breed of birds. You know what I mean?

"carry out surgical strikes together in tandem."
If this happens in reality, the response will be scarier. Not hollow words either.
