MiG-27 squadron decommissioned at Hasimara

[zebra7]

Tejas - although only two examples are available so far.

LCA Tejas Mk-1 is for the replacement of Mig-21 BISON.

But that will take time ; so why not put a Jaguar squadron in the interim period

The MKIs will be used to cover the interim period.

so which aircraft gonna replace flogger in hasimara?? mki or rafale?? Mig27 is a ground strike fighter so next jet could a multirole one. Su30 doesn't really fit in the ground attack role.

Afaik, they are stationing MKIs there.

what about facilities?? Rafale and flankers are totally different. Don't u think it will waste our resources?? Just for say 4 years we can't make aircraft bunkers specially for flankers, maintenance facility etc.

Tejas - although only two examples are available so far.

The first squadron No45 will be positioned down south , not in WB.

The later 3 Mig27 squadrons and remaining Mig21 squadrons will be replaced by Tejas.

It won't be a massive issue, there is nothing the MKI requires that the Rafale won't require, the same basic infrastrcuture will remain the same and when the MKI SQN eventually makes way for the Rafales they will take with them whatever is of value to them and MKI-specific to their new home. An aircraft hanger that can house an MKI can house a Rafale.

This will be replaced by MKIs. Also It will be 4th Su-30MKI squadron placed in the region after Tezpur, Chabua, and Kalaikunda.
