Again, there are no Mig 27s to replace, we already ordered 2 more MKI squadrons, only the Mig 21s needs replacements and to do that, we need to finish the development of LCA, not find excuses or gaps in certain areas where we could use it. That's why wasting time on hoping for increased MK1 orders, totally unrealistic exports and even the N-LCA MK2 development are just distractions. We need to focus on getting it done according to the development goals, nothing more but also nothing less!I know it has no relation with LCA.
But 2 squadron of LCA can replace the mig 27, improving aircraft availability and safety.
Both mig27 and jaguar need engine replacement, but only jaguar seems likely, provided government goes for it.
Only the Jag needs an engine replacement, because it's service life is far away from being over (last produced Jags should remain till 2038 / 30 years). The Mig 27 doesn't need an engine upgrade since their life is over, we only got a porposal to add the AL 31, which however was too costly for the limited time.
