Su-30MKI and Rafale potent enough to defeat all enemies: Vice Chief Air Marshal

Vice Chief Air Marshal RKS Bhadauria on Thursday said that once Su-30MKI and Rafale fighter jets will start operating together for Indian Air Force, it will be a potent combination to tackle all adversaries of India, including Pakistan and China.

“Once Su-30MKI and Rafale start operating together, it’ll be a potent combination against our adversaries. Be it Pak or anyone else,it’ll be a potent capability.Any adversary would be worried about such a combination,” Vice Chief Air Marshal Bhadauria told ANI. When asked if Pakistan would think to launch a February 27-type operation once Su-30MKI and Rafale jets start operating together for IAF, Vice Chief Air Marshal Bhadauria said that Pakistan would suffer huge losses if they dare to launch any such operation after the induction of Rafale jets in IAF’s arsenal.Vice Chief Air Marshal Bhadauria remarked that the losses for Pakistan will be huge because IAF would be able to hit back with larger and better weapons using Rafale and Sukhoi jets.

“For any such operation by Pak,they would have losses much more.We would have larger&better weapons. The attrition that we’ll inflict would be be very high,” remarked the Vice Chief Air Marshal.

It is to be noted that IAF is also planning to buy 18 more Sukhoi Su-30 MKI multirole fighters and 21 Mikoyan MiG-29 air superiority jets from Russia in order to strengthen its capabilities. The IAF currently has a sanctioned strength of 272 Su-30 MKIs and it also operates 69 MiG-29 UPGs.

A total of 42 squadrons are required by IAF to be effective during a two-front war with China and Pakistan but the IAF is currently operating with only 31 squadrons as it retires the older MiG-21 and MiG-27 aircraft. The additional Su-30 MKI and MiG-29 jets will add two more squadrons to the IAF fighter fleet.

Our fighter pilots would be more worried than our enemies, from our fighting incapabilities says Bhaduria.

Defence ministry bureaucrats should be made to fly on IAF oldest junk on the day of their retirement ...currently the oldest junk we have is the cold war era junk mig21...like a fly past...when this is made like a compulsory ceremony...the files will move faster.

If Su-30 can defeat all enemies, than Pakistan perhaps counted in friendly states!

Koi sharam hoti he... koi haya hoti he, jo India me nahi hoti.

IAF had SU30 on Feb 27 but could not use it and still lost one to the enemy (PAF).

You need to read into the words, the VCAM is leaning towards the change that Rafale brings to IAF. In presence of Rafale, perhaps even the Bison would be potent. Because all Air Superiority tasks will be assigned to Rafale's.

Getting your Brigade HQ bombed by a Nation 7 times smaller and a Military with wayyyy less Budget, Shooting your own Chopper killing 7 officers and still chest thumping, what a Joker.

Than what happened to SU 30MKI on 27th Feb??oh fuel dalna bhol gaye thy

 

[YeBeWarned]

He is right in a sense that Su30 with Rafale and m2k will be a deadly combo , PAF needs more block 52 or BLK 70 F-16 to keep iaf in check .

 

[baqai]

of course that combo would be deadly if put in hands of potent crew, they did had MKI on 27th and that did not do much of a difference

 

[Ali_Baba]

The Su30MKI will not be made any more potent, its upgrade capabilitiy is very limited and the equation wont change. The Rafale will for sure, mix things up as it is a very capable platform.
