Wonder what the serviceability of Phalcons is with the Netra taking more and more of the center stage with AEW?4 IAF Rafale F3R's escort a Netra AEW&C
Bhai only 6 AEW&Cs/AWACS are in service with IAF. Usme bhi serviceability dekh rahe ho?Wonder what the serviceability of Phalcons is with the Netra taking more and more of the center stage with AEW?
Yes - because it matters if out of the 6 you can keep 2 in the air constantly for a week long campaign or will find yourself juggling with one.Bhai only 6 AEW&Cs/AWACS are in service with IAF. Usme bhi serviceability dekh rahe ho?

If its built in house then the Netra radar should be adapted to other platforms and the A321 should do it.the IAF made a big mistake by going with an order for just 3 Netra AEW&Cs. Follow on orders were not feasible with Embraer since they got blacklisted and as of now the A-321 based AWACS program is on. That's what happens when you don't have faith in your indigenous capabilities and hedge your bets on it failing and going in for additional Phalcon orders. Now those additional Phalcons are not gonna come and nor are any more Netras.
So as of now, the IAF is having to make do with a much smaller than satisfactory number of AWACS and AEW&C. There's aerostats in service but ideally they should have had an order for at least 6 Netra AEW&C given how cost effective it is.
