Indian Navy to have 100 combat jets, 500 aircraft

[INDIAISM]

Mig 29K : 45{already ordered}
N Tejas : 50{Expected}
NMRCA : 40-50{Most Probably RafaleM}

So i think the total Number of combat jet in Naval Air Arm will be around 150...

Apparently F-35 is cheaper than Euro Typhoon.

Italy buys its first three F-35s. With a shocking announcement: “a JSF will cost less than a Eurofighter Typhoon” « The Aviationist

The vertical landing of the craft is a treat to watch

P8Is carrying harpoon ( Air to Sea ) version will also be used in future encounters.

surprisingly there is no 5th generation in this. if you look at the navy vision 2027 IAF will have 2 5th gen. FGFA & AMCA may be later IN will Join or get Both naval version plane and also i here that Russian may develop NPAK-FA later.

3 Aircraft carrier are to less as we need at least 5 so that 3-4 are available all time.

But to fully secure our interests from Singapore to Somalia and to dominate we need 7-8 Aircraft carriers if we also keep the so called carrier killer missile in mind.

More than 7-8 ACCs, we need a fleet of potent SSNs. We don't need ACCs to boast naval power in arabian sea. However we do need around 4-5 ACCs for sure.
IMO, we should build upwards of 80,000 tonne ACCs each capable of carrying around 3 squadrons of fighters.

SSNs and SSBNs are separate issue.

As for ACCs we need 7-8 we need

- 2 for pak (Karachi, Gwadar)

- 1 for gulf route

- 1 for African route

- 2 for south china sea

- 1 for bay of bengal

- 1 for australia/maldive area

If u don't agree for one of the above options/requirements then keep in mind we need 1-2 extra so that above capacity can me made available in case of 1-2 is in maintenance or get destroyed.

2. 80,000 tonne is too much it will add to cost both in building it and managing it then also it will be a bigger target for carrier killer we need medium size 50,000-60,000 tonne sleek and fast.

Conformed, I had seen them flying from Arkonam Naval base.

Genius as per IN and GoI they are not our area of interest.

Le me explain u why i have mentioned that nos.:

- 2 for pak (Karachi, Gwadar) = Its obvious to attack pakistan and sea denial.

- 1 for gulf route = To cut off any help from gulf or US of A (if in future USA align with pak as we can't predict future we should be prepared for the worst)

- 1 for African route (to cut off this route or help USA etc.)

- 2 for south china sea (to cut off help from china)

- 1 for bay of bengal (To secure it)

- 1 for australia/maldive area (to cut off strings of pearls and to secure from any help from Australia/US of A)
