The Indian Air Force wants to gain 60 fighter aircraft squadron by 2047 and it seems to include MRFA Jet in the next five to ten years to achieve the required number to deal with war on two fronts.
The High Level Committee has accepted the requirement of the new multirol fighter jet, seeking to include these aircraft through a fast track global tender over the next four to five years. Defense sources told the media that the inclusion of 114 multirol fighter jets will help the Indian Air Force to maintain the strength of its squadron in the next 10 years, as well as simple fighter jets including various versions of LCA including Mark 1A and Mark-2. A high -level committee headed by Defense Secretary Rajesh Kumar Singh recently submitted its report to Defense Minister Rajnath Singh and has accepted the need to obtain 114 multirol fighter aircraft for the Indian Air Force to help increase its fighter capabilities.
The Indian Air Force wants to gain 60 fighter aircraft squadron by 2047 and it seems to include MRFA Jet in the next five to ten years to achieve the required number to deal with war on two fronts. Sources said that the Indian Air Force is largely dependent on indigenous fighter jets and engine projects to gain necessary strength. He said that in the next 10-12 years, Jaguar, Mirage-20,000 and MiG-29 will be among the fleet to be completely out of the Indian Air Force. Regarding the fighter aircraft competition, sources said that the aircraft that became part of the global tender include Rafael, Gripain, Eurofighter Typhoon, MiG-35 and F-16 aircraft. This time the only new aircraft to be included in the race is the F-15 strike Eagle fighter aircraft of American company Boeing.
The Indian Air Force is also considering conducting limited tests to detect the capabilities of the participating aircraft to speed up the tender process. The number of Indian Air Force is seen to decline due to delay in delaying the old aircraft of the MiG series and delaying new indigenous aircraft like LCA Mark 1 and Mark 1A. Projects are likely to be delayed due to the problems of the supply chain that occur due to the Kovid supplies and the commitments of their colleagues in Europe and the Middle East.
