IAF deploys Sukhoi fighters in Punjab

. . .
The huba huba is about what certain indians want us to believe:

China, not Pakistan, is India's main threat | NDTV.com

Or is it because people just want to believe what they think and simply ignore what IAF has officially stated for a number of times now?
As other members tried to show earlier, it's part of the modernisation of every airforce that older fighters will be replaced by new fighter on an airbase and that is what we see here too. Be it this example, Rafales most likely replacing Mig 21 Bisons at Jodhpur, or in future FGFA replacing Mig 29s alongside western borders, all just normal modernisations!
On the other side we see IAF raising new airbases in the north, east and even in the south for MKIs, besides the replacement of older fighters at other airbases and that is the important point to understand where the focus of IAF is today!
You only raise new airbases when you feel there is a threat that isn't dealt with the current airbases and that's why IAF shift more focus on north/eastern borders for the hi level fighters as well as adding maritime attack capabilities to the coastlines.

IAF is replacing Migs with MKI and this has been mentioned by many watchers and it is the case as it is. We do not care who else would be alarmed by this move or exaggerate being threatened.

why we are placing dem close to border? In the mean time,closest bases will be attacked and there we have possibility of aircrafts getting destroyed inside hangars or even before take off :/
