Only 222? Didn't original number was 272?

I think IAF ordered more SUs last year.

 

[Safriz]

I guess thats the end of SU-30MKI..
272 procures... 222 by HAL and 50 from Russia.
How many surviving is another question as crash rate has been high.

IAF plans to induct more su30mki this year but the exact number is not confirmed . Some sources say 12 , others say 18 while HAL wants an order for 40 additional aircrafts

10 losses in 24 years out of 272 inducted is not exactly high per say

So after screwdrivering 200+ su30s
making thm more expensive thn buying offshlf while degrading the quality.

No if I remember correctly then our actual order was for 242 flankers... later we signed deal for 40 additional many years back.... so actual planned number was 272 with HAL expecting new orders or directly buying used flankers from Russia along with used 21 fulcrums....

 

[GumNaam]

correction...india is done ASSEMBLING the number of contracted su30s.

 

[Indos]

HAL seems to rely deeply on India Armed force for the order. And Dornier 228 that is manufactured by HAL will likely face direct competition with N 219 produced by PT Dirgantara Indonesia in the coming years. The certification process is expected to complete this year.

@vishwambhar

Does Hal have any civilian aircraft development program ?

Yes as Syama Ayas informed we have Saras program....

Is N219 a replacement for our aging denier? What are the specs? It will be great to see Indonesian homemade platform strengthening Indian armed forces capabilities....

I dont think N219 will replace old Dornier used in your Armed Force since HAL still produces Dornier. I also found out that there is plan by NAL to design and produce 70 seats turboprop passenger plane.

This is the specs taken from Wikipedia but I dont know the reliability since official website of the company even doesnt put the specs on it, maybe later when the certification process is finished they will put the specs.

Indonesia has come up with a beautiful plane... India and Indonesia should cooperate deeply in defence sector... though we don't share land boundaries we are maritime neighbours... long live India Indonesia friendship
