Either he was wrong or he was misquoted. Should have been 95% - which is the Muslim population of BD.

Thanks for MAKING that CLEAR

I am sure Indian Government agencies are reading this

Thats a trait of Bangadeshis...we are blamed for something else

Seriously, Even Indian Carrier Air wing is an overkill for Bangladeshi Airforce.

IN carrier wing outnumber Bangladesh Air force 5:1 in Mig 29s, and is equal if F-7 of BAF are added to tally; off-course IN Carrier wing ,whollely mad eof Mig-29Ks, has technological superiority over BAF whose Mig-29s (S and UB) are also antique.

1. Indian planners that matter know that in case of a general war hell will break and fall on India from the north and from the west - right up to Turkey. IN carriers will be hunted down and sunk by our Indonesian brothers.
2. The doctrine we have adopted from the start is The Doctrine of Traditional People's War. We will drown the invader in our marshes. We will cause the enemy so much pain that the process of disintegration within shall be fast-tracked so that invaders from the north, west , ourselves from the east and even those from the south shall come forth to exact revenge.

According to OUR analysis and Projections

India will NEVER attack Bangladesh

But Bangladesh will help Pakistan and China in a worst case scenario
especially if a Anti India govt is in power or if there is a coup

If Bangladesh helps Pakistan and China
THEN be prepared to face retaliation

But @asad71 ,problem is that IN could sink all of Muslim navies COMBINED; so there would be no hunting of IN carrier, and Bangladesh could not be reached by air or land from anywhere except India.

of course,then philippines will destroy our subs,malaysia will take care of our destroyers,thailand for our frigates and then singapore will finish what remains of our miniscule navy.
nice plan,isnt it.

There will never be a so called two-front war with China and Pakistan! Period!

This kinda bullshit needs to stop. Next they'll say we need enough aircraft for a three-front war - China, Pakistan and the Martians!! Jeeez!

On topic, Depleting sq strength is an issue which we have discussed very very detailed over many times.. @Abingdonboy knows how we have talked till death on 2022 2030 both time lines the IAF strength if we dont get new jets and the reality of potency of the fleet..

What IAF VCOAS said is nothing new.. He needs Rafales and he needs Plenty of them.. He will not say so explicitly but he knows what IAF wants ... That coupled with 15-20 sqds of LCA over next 14 years is the actual reality..

BTW for all other readers, dont start a troll fight.. unnecessary bans will come over meaningless replies to trolls..better neglect/ignore those posts..

 

[surya kiran]

would Indian aircraft carrier alone be enough for taking out the BD airforce?

Should there be another Indo-Pak war, we being Muslims, will definitely try our best to help Pakistan. If at that time there is a RAW installed govt in BD, oceans of people will drown them away.

But @asad71 ,problem is that IN could sink all of Muslim navies COMBINED; so there would be no hunting of IN carrier, and Bangladesh could not be reached by air or land from anywhere except India.

Hajur, first of all lemme ask, how many of IN ships will be able to sail, and how many will blow up at berth by themselves? IN is no military force. With a wife swapping officer corps? No way.

In a candid admission, the IAF on Thursday said that given its depleting strength, it does not have the adequate numbers to "fully execute" an air campaign in case of a two-front war involving Pakistan and China simultaneously.

It also sought more 5th generation fighter aircraft over and above the 36 Rafales since it was a requirement.

The revelation by the IAF comes at a time when the squadron strength of the force has come down to 33 in comparison to the sanctioned strength of 42.

Of the 33, a very large chunk is made up of Russian origin Su-30 jets, the front line fighter aircraft of the country.

However, the serviceability ratio of the aircraft is very poor with the figure hovering around 55 per cent. This means that out of 100 aircraft, only around 55 are available at a point of time with the rest being bogged down in service.

"Our numbers are not adequate to fully execute an air campaign in a two front scenario. Probability of a two front scenario is an appreciation which you need to do. But, are the numbers adequate? No. The squadrons are winding down," Air Marshal B S Dhanoa, Vice-Chief of the IAF said addressing a press conference here.

He was asked if the IAF has the capability to fight a two-front war if it breaks out tomorrow.

IAF sources said that a two-front war is not a likely possibility for the next few years and in the meantime, the force hopes to come up with the required capability.

"We have conveyed our concerns to the government. Government is seized of this problem and the reason why the government signed the 36 aircraft (Rafale) on G2G basis is because of urgency that they felt because of the depletion in squadron numbers," Dhanoa, a Kargil war veteran said.

Asked if there is a requirement for more Medium Multi Role Combat Aircraft (MMRCA) type aircraft besides the 36 Rafales, he said yes.


"There are various avenues that are being explored. There is a requirement for us to buy a MMRCA class aircraft more than the 36 numbers that we have signed. Which platform may come in, that is something between us and the government. We (both) will have to take a call," he said.

Deputy Chief of the IAF Air Marshal R K S Bhadauria said that a decision on more aircraft will be take only after the conclusion of the contract for 36 Rafale fighter jets.

Don't have the numbers to fully fight two-front war: IAF - Times of India

it does not give much confidence to the people of india having been told the iaf wont be fight of china and pakistan at the same time.
screw the rafale (sorry @Vauban @Taygibay ) and just buy the mig 35 and more mki's.

LOL... the people of India are pretty confident that India as a nation can survive pakistan and china. With or without IAF.

Our confidence is not dependent on the jabber of the latest or ex-IAF chiefs. It is dependent on what our Civilian leadership says. And so far they have not expressed any concern.

If its a number game, then LCA is the way to go. A second production line will give us the numbers within our budget.
