What are the trainer options for IAF and INAF?

[Nishan_101]

I want to discuss in details about the available options for IAF and INAF for their training roles like IAF has and ordered more Hawks from UK and PC-21 Platius from Swiss and for IJT they might looking into some options. Please discuss about the available trainers in details for the IAF:
Basic, Intermediate and Advanced ones???

currently we r using Hal kiran for IJT untill Hal Sitara comes out...

HAL HJT-36 Sitara - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The IN will is the same 4 step training process as the IAF- basic trainer (Pilatus PC-7 MK.II), intermediate trainer (HJT-36), advanced jet trainer (HAWK AJT) and Operational conversion training (whatever fighter a/c the pilot is destined to fly they will fly and train on the trainer version of this a/c) with extensive simulator training throughout. Soon the IAF/IA AAC/IN NAA will have the best and most extensive training programs on earth.

I am sure they might be looking in to some EU options for IJTs and Sitara might not be able to come in time.

The main problem with HJt-36 was about its engine thrust which was solved with new Russian engine the rest r not much of a issue

And there r many countries round the globe like US which don't have 3 stage training process like IAF so i think they can manage sometime without Ijt as Hawk can also be used for Ijt purpose...

For the Hawks I can say that there will be 100+ Hawks in IAF till 2020 and IJT I am sure it will be from EU side and Russian along with IAF indegineous ones.
