India to order 42 more HAL-produced Su-30MKIs

Sirjee..I said start replacing not replace.. I am hopeful that by 2030 AMCA will have cleared FOC and will enter serial production unless of course ADA/HAL $cReW$ up again..
BTW i think there is no point in keeping production line busy with LCA-II till 2025..It would be better if we increase the no. of planes per year and get it done by 2022 ..The facility can be used to produced more FGFA ...

so within 2025 India will have 310 (MKI) + 300 (FGFA) + 126 (MRCA) + 200 (LCA) = around 51 squadrons, all on duty. Thats best to defend and offend in whole Indian Ocean Region. Also we can't forget 3 Carrier Based Groups will also be on duty before 2025.

Slow down bro! Why're you retiring our mig 29s and Mirage 2000s? They're undergoing massive overhauls right now to increase lifespan you know?
