Easy dude we are not in a war like situation so we dont need to clock that kind of hours because all mig pilots are really experienced

we are building a kind of force which any one will think a thousand times to deal with

They better do it quick.
The russians planes are goddamn old and weak.
maybe the pak-fa will be ok.

agreed, mig 21 needs to go. We certainly need to scale up LCA's production and development (for MkII).

 

[xMustiiej70]

The inventory of 2015 will still be weak..
Indian air force really need that Pak-fa.
Otherwise its still low tech russian planes.
the russians planes were never really that modern with advanced techs.
and about that cooperation with russian on the pakfa.
what does india cooperate on the pak fa with russia?

we do have a very potent air force in the continent....by 2015 su 30 mki will be around 270..which is one of the best aircraft around..

mrca would be starting to come in...
mirages n mig 29(both upgraded)
jaguars and tejas
mig 21 bison and some mig 27's as well...very much capable of defending our airspace

i have a theory..can mig-21 be modified into a drone...if doesnot work, just crash'em..

mig 21 bison is a highly underestimated plane in our inventory...perticularly if u look at our potential adversaries against whom we might have to use them they r still flying mig 19's n 21's copy...bisons will be more than a match for them.

You are new in this forum so i will explain it to u, we have discussed it since a while now that all J7s and other oldies will be retired before 2015 by 250 JF17s and F16 block 52, 36 j10bs will be our front line fighters by 2015, I will advise you to go through the forums and then write something concrete, this will reduce the chances of trolls

अरे भाई जब भी कोई बात होती है आप हमेसा 250 JF-17 की बात करने लगते है! हमें कोई परेशानी नहीं है पर भैये किसी भी production rate से आप 2015 तक 250 नहीं बना सकते!

It is very much possible but new need to replace more than 200 with new and the best fighters in he region.

If anyone from Bangalore must have seen that HAL is building huge manufacturing facilities near HAL police station beside the old air port road. I think in these modern facilities they will build new fighters like Tejas and MRCA.
