France sees first Rafale jet deliveries to India by 2016

.
Can you share with me the squadron number of the LCA. I still understand they are in testing phase.

LCA is under testing to clear its FOC i.e. Final Operational clearance.

It has already cleared IOC that was required to clear it for production.

The First LCA squadron will be based at the sulur air base and will have 21 LCA.

IAF plans to induct 14 squadrons of LCA in the coming years. The plan has already been approved. i.e. a total of 294 LCA's to be in active duty.

as soon as first batch will come out from production in next few month, they will form sqd no 45, the flying daggers in sulur. (6 aircrafts will be delivered before December and rest will come onwards)

LCA squadron will have 20 aircrafts. It is conformed by IAF itself, as they order of 40 LCA. 20 of IOC2 standard and 20 of FOC standard. IAF may induct 20 more fighters if mk2 delayed too much.

Its absolutely correct information......but The total number of LCA Tejas may go upto 330 because IAF will field 280 Tejas fighters comprising of 14 squadrons each having 20 Fighters, while Indian Navy will field upto 50 Naval LCA Tejas fighter with vertical landing capability for Aircraft Carrier based operations in future Indian Carriers....!!!

No, there will not be 14 squadrons of LCA. At maximum we can expect 10 squadrons including mk1 unless someone doesn't scrap the Rafale deal. Let us see the picture.......
> 18 squa. of mki.
> 7 of Rafale
> 2 of miraj
> 3 mig
> and if there is 14 lca squadrons than where they fit FGFA.
