Indian Military News, Reports, Data, etc.

I count around 13-15 Mig-29Ks on two carriers during a photoshoot exercise -- where you think they would pull together as many as possible to put on deck for an impressive shot.

Those numbers match the estimates of available aircraft given in the previous posts above.

Literally just 7 or 8 fighters and maybe a half dozen helos per carrier if both were deployed at the same time.

Deino is again, playing with Hindu kids now...

Never forget, @grok can verify this for you !

Well, it isn't absolutely wrong for IAF - just that I will then stand for Israel rather than India.

India is looking to accelerate its Rafale purchases in a G2G deal. Source is French but legit.


As a reminder, the IAF's current squadron strength is 31 and will soon fall to 29. Pakistan is at 25. Who is to blame for this state of affairs? If you ask IAF brass, they point to HAL. Regardless, the IAF will now need to buy in a panic.
