Mate I got it perfectly..... you answered it with your own post...
Mate, din't get you???
120+ Rafale by 2025 ---> All New.
100+ LCA by 2025 ----> All New.
270+ sukhois by 2025 ----> Half new & other half will be having MLU by than.
100+ FGFA ---> All New.<<<< THIS ONE I ALSO LIKE... AS YOU WILL HAVE DECENT UNDERSTANDING AND TIME TO READJUST THE PARAMETERS AS IT IS YOURS
So atleast 60% of IAF will be consisting of completely new platforms.
As per the advice on more funds for the R&D, yes i know:
Not even 1% of our GDP is spend on it.
List of countries by research and development spending - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
But, you can understand that unlike some privileged country, we have to take care of around 80+ crore people who aren't even earning $2 a day.
Spending handsomely on R&D is a LUXURY that only nations like US & China can afford.
Having said that, it is obvious that with time, Indian GDP will only rise, so would the spend on R&D.
We are SLOWLY but surely getting there, as they say "Rome wasn't built in a Day"
