According to the air chief IAF has evolved after the 1999 conflict and the precision bombing capabilities that had existed only on Mirage-2000 during the war are now available on Su-30, Jaguar, MiG-29 and MiG-27 upgraded aircraft.
Also, BVR Missiles are carried by MiG-29, Su-30, and Mirage-2000 aircraft. There has been MiG-29 and Mirage 2000 upgrade since then. He also said that AWACS (early warning and control aircraft) to monitor the airspace deep inside the enemy territory is available with the service, operates on secure communication with network-centric warfare capabilities.
