You are right ,but PLAAF rather disarmament than use what we have.
You dont know about china.You know that IA small than PLA ,less Fighters,less tanks,less ships .India's military budget for per Soldier really bigger than china.
Its bullshit.
plz tell me that indian Police and Militia need pay for military budget?
People's Armed Police and Militia dont need fights and tanks.
They not belong 2.3 Millions PLA.
Plz tell me indian space Institute need pay for military budget?
PLAAF produced 300 J-7Es to replace J-6s and J-7Is from 1993 until 2001.
It only cost US$ 2 millions per J-7E basic version(without radar).
PLAAF produced 150 J-7Gs to replace J-7Is and J-7IIs from 2006 until 2009.
Why not IAF?
Indian Military Budget is more than china before 2000.We own lots old fights but we cut off all the old fights.From 4500 fights to 1,600 fights ,why not IAF
40 yr vintage aircraft is not really problem. B-52 are more than 40 yr.If you own enough ability like US.
But allow your pilots fly so danger planes is the biggest problem.Its disregard for human life.
In early exercise between J-10A and J-11(Su-27Sk made by rassian and china) ,J-10A always is the winner.
Now J-11B and J-11A(Su-27Sk made by china update version) is better ,because with better Electronic capability than J-10A.
In exercise between USA and India. There only dog-fight for fair play.
But There is really competition in PLAAF Between J-10 and others. I only tell your J-10A better than Original Su-27sk in air fight.
J-10As weak point is armament capabilities.
At least J-10A is better than Su-27Sk in quality,Electronic capability and weapons technology.
As dog-fighting ability , J-10A can do Pugachev's Cobra too.
