IAF ‘harvesting organs’ of globally retired jets

[type93]

Having to dig through bone yards to meet their bare necessities indicate a crisis for IAF and the rapid death of the Indian aerospace industry that will never recover.

you're all wrong M-III has a minimal/no Ground attack missions just drop unguided bombs and nothing else and its versions like V is Strike Jet just like you refer Mig-23/Mig-27 @randomradio

All the Mirage IIIs that the PAF operates are strike versions. Only Mirage IIIC is the interceptor version, which PAF does not operate.

I think India wants to more strike/CAS jets than a multi role jet, that why India chose Jaguar, just my assumption bro @randomradio

It's not so simple though. Mirage III and Mirage F1 started off as interceptors and then ground strike versions came out of those designs. The Jaguar was designed for low altitude performance and ground strike from the beginning, so it was superior to the F1 for the role we wanted. If the F1 showed superiority over Jaguar, we would have bought it.
