IAF planning to phase out MiG-27 combat planes by 2017

[ANPP]

So what? MKI is it, Mirage 2000 is it, even the upgraded Mig 29s will be swing/multi role fighters, so why should IAF induct another heavy class, mainly air superiority fighter and why on earth a completelly new type of fighter?
If at all, they would go for MKI or Rafale, the next logical choice would be Su 34s, which are at least a bit more re-designed for the strike role and even if they would want a US fighter, the F18SH would be the way more realistic choice than a F15.

mirage2000 & mig 29 dont have swing role capability.

Mirage 2000 already can be used in A2A and A2G roles, the upgrade will further improve it and the Mig as I said after the upgrade.

So this time IAF is not doing the "Crash out" program like the Mig 21's.

Well we have bought used equipment in the recent past but we never buy anything used by stinky pigs.

Funny considering the number of chinese sh.it flying around pak

Why are people discussing the purchase of F-15Ks

For one thing if IAF ever wanted a Good Ground Attack aircraft from USA , then it would have chosen the F/A18 Super Hornet , which in my opinion is even superior to Rafale in Ground Attack , with the exception that US wont allow us to Configure them for Nuclear Strike , while the french are even willing to offer their nuclear attack Missiles as part of Weapon's Pack of Rafale
