Indian Air Force Squadron Strength Declines Below 30; Is Air Force Headed To New Low? | Battle Cry

[Zarvan]

Oct 8, 2022 Indian Air Force fighter jets were scrambled from Jodhpur and Punjab to intercept an Iranian aircraft following reports that a bomb was on board. The bomb threat was received when the plane, headed to China, entered Indian airspace on Monday. As per the IAF statement, the aircraft was allowed to continue on its flight towards China after Iranian agencies asked the officials to disregard the threat.

India should stop wasting foreign companies time. It takes a huge amount of effort and money to submit bids for an RFP. Companies were fooled for MMRCA 1, now again for MMRCA 2. If you don't have the money or have the money but not serious, simply cancel the whole thing. Else next time when you are indeed serious and have money, no company will take you seriously and submit any bids.

If you don't have $, simply increase size of Sukhoi MKI fleet - maybe 60 more jets, buy more trash mig 21, 27, 29 from post soviet states and old jaguar, sea harrier and mirage 2000 and buy maybe a few hundred Shahed 136 from Iran since that is your aukat. Sure, pilots will continue to die in flying coffins but hey, they are just a drop in the sea right? When 4 million covid deaths didnt make a difference, what is a few pilots.

Indian Military is on a steep decline.

India no longer has money to buy products.

Sellers are longer interested in selling to India.

You are 100% correct in this case, however the difference is

India doesnt have money and not buying
Pakistan has even lesser money and still buying(and falling into junk CCC rating in the process)
