Indian Air Force - Touching the Sky With Glory

ok dudes good pictures but why are we not buying f16s like pakistan

We are considering it as one of our options in MRCA. But it is too old today. Looking at the other options we have, F16 seems to be old, weak, evolved to its limit, vulnerable and incapable of roles to be performed by the required planes.

IAF believes in investing in the future. Our purchases today are such that they can be upgraded in the future and can serve the nation for at least 2 decades. F16 would be operated by african countries in 2030. We need something that can take on a fight even after 2030.

Rafale, Typhoon, F18, Su30, Mig35/29K, F22, Pak-Fa, J-XX, MCA, F-35 will be some of the best planes, of course not all are available for purchase.

I know, but they are essentially the same planes with the changed airforce logo.

There are pics from Indian air force too, but those pics were beautiful. So I added them

This is a pretty lame answer. As if the Israelis, Poles, Turks, Greeks, Emeratis and Pakistanis don't believe in safeguarding their investments in the F-16 in the future.

None of the aircraft currently in the MMRCA running are a generation ahead of the current generation of the F-16. They are all in the same boat. Old or new F-16s may be operated by African countries in the future, but so would Mig-29/35 and Su-30 series. So what is the point?

F-16 and F/A-18 are the best of the bunch in the MMRCA running and your side is most likely to go with the F/A-18 which is an aircraft of the same generation as the F-16 and both have comparable avionics.

The downside for your side with the F-16 is that WE fly it. WE know the platform and have employed it for a very long time. This runs it out of contention, and not the conjured up reasons that you put forth.

Such a narrow minded approach.

The super viper offered for India is infact more advance then MKI! the current version of IDAF F-16 is as good as MKI. Even PAF block 52+ are a good match for MKI. Mig-35 is a evolution of Mig-29 like block 70 is for block 5 F-16s.
