India begins talks for French Jaguar fighters

[Han Patriot]

Ask this for Airforces still keeping 728 Su 7s !

I think it was retired right?

 

[Abingdonboy]

Man, India please stop this nonsense, buying grounded Jaguars? Seriously. I am getting very angry now.....MAKE YOUR OWN GODDAMN PLANES.

i can't believe this.much better to acquire more mig29s.

Jaguars are ground attack aircraft. MiG-29s are air superiority fighters

They are being bought to cannibalise for spares, not to fly- what's the big fuss?

I thought you 'made' Jaguars? How do you make Jaguars is you don't make the parts?

As we don't produce them now, last time it was around 2009. Also why to waste time, effort & money for limited production when you can buy few on lower price from others. Pick best airframes upgrade them and retire rest to use as spare. In short 130+31 old jaguars will make 60 darin III plus spares.

So you buy good planes and store them in hangars?

China still operates hundreds of J-7s

Converted to drones bro, we keep old planes as back up and don't buy new legacy planes. Just doesn't make sense, but if you use it for spares, then it might make sense.

had PAF bought these Jaguars all the indian members would be laughing and trolling about the standard of the plane.

Anyway what a disappointing procurement for so called supa power

31 jaguars for Bangloldesh who are looking for war with India will be good. What do u think

 

[Centurion2016]

India should spend the money on Tejas
or mirage2000

NONSENSE PURCHASE

I believe the idea is for spare parts. France and UK have retired all their Jaguars.
