MKIs will be 270 onlyEven by conservative estimates, final number of MKI should be around 300 when induction program finishes by end of this decade. Now with FGFA expected entry by 2020, IAF would do well to spread the squadrons to the extent possible. This shall help the ground & maintenance crew to hone their skills and get prepared for 4.5 & 5 generations of FA that will comeup in future. As of now MKI is closest to that.
Won't be a bad idea to station a few MKIs in Andaman (don't know if this is actually feasible), with mid air re-fuelers, that would be a mighty projection of power in south Asian Region
IMHO it's 18, normal SQDs have 20/21 with trainers.16 a/c per sqn. not 21
That would be the SEAD version
Will we change rest of the su-30's to super sukhoi?

16 MKIs/Squ sounds a low number
That would be the SEAD version
Good question and yes we would be changing them all to super standards .
I was under impression that NORMAL squads are (18+4) 22 no strong. So I was expecting atleast 18 like MMRCA.Why, normal squads had also 16 + 2 Trainers, with multi role fighters and twin seaters not dedicated for trainers only, the number general size will remain the same (MMRCA 1 x squad = 18 fighters), but will include more twin seaters that will be as capable as their single seat counterparts.
