I am not favor go beyond 72 numbers.
As said, it is providing breathing space to multiple assets and programs.
1. Hal Tejas mk2
2. Su 30 mki upgrade.. Etc
But, focus should by only on Hal tejas mk2 and productions.
Then, enough breathing time for AMCA project..
True prioties should be for local fighters but situation on borders will dictate all future purchases, India PSUs are incompetent specially in production front.
IAF will not wait for MK2 for a decade future purchases of Rafales are almost certain going by history of Tejas productions.
If HAL could have given stable production of 16 Tejas IAF would have happily increased orders for even Tejas MK1 but till now they hardly reach 6 to 8.
I dont think this situation is likely to improve in future PSUs are very inefficient I keep on hearing from Hal babus we dont have more orders to go higher on prod numbers but this is pretty hollow argument 16 Tejas an year would have increased much confidence in Iaf to increase their orders.
Even Tejas MK1s could provide much better performance than Mig 21 bison
