In addition to my above coment...i think PAF pilots and maintenance crew are more rigorously trained compared to IAF..I had a friend who was F-16 pilot in 2000-2001..At that tome American embargo was at full swing and PAF was not getting spare parts for their American planes specially F-16s..All the F-16 fleet was running in "Jugaar" as in "Urdu wala Jugaar". From aeronautical engineers to airmen,everybody was improvising and innovating ways to keep the F-16s in air..and we did not have any more crash incidents than we have in normal days..
The friend of mine told me that PAF is buying parts from wherever they can,and mainly from black market.None of the F-16s had a working ejection seat due to unavailability of spares,and how big a pilot's heart should be,to fly a plane,knowing that if something goes wrong they wont be able to bail out and will go down with the plane? we all can have a guess.
IAF has selected RAFEAL or TYPHOON..

That hilorious lol. I want that type of situation to our mig21. Then atleast govt replace that
Well...we have done part of it.... JF-17 in 4 years,while TEJAS still a prototype? tut tut?This is the reason that we have to build our own defense industry. If Sweden with 8 million people can develop modern fighter like Gripen and AWAC then Pakistan with 185 million can also develop in next decade.
I'm not following OP's lists or anything, but the gap between IAF and PAF will be considerably narrow by 2015. Yes India is looking for 126+ MMRCAs, but those will not come by 2015, in fact, the initial batch may be received by then IF IAF finalizes the deal this year. However, it has yet to decide on the fighter it wants (hence evaluations are on-going), then it needs to negotiate and finalize the actual order (remember how long Hawks took?) and so on. And once MMRCA does come around, the PAF will have its FC-20/Plus One as well as additional Block-52+ (or higher) as its options to adequately counter them.
Hilarious it may be..Nothing wrong with looking at the funny side of the story.
But the question remains....under similar situations..i.e without ejection seats..Will IAF pilots go airborne?
It will be 2020 before the 126 MMCRA are 100% operational but then IAF will have to retire the Jaguars and Harriers. Also by 2020 the Mig29s and Mirage 2000 will be 41 years old unless IAF goes for a midlife upgrade of the aircrafts.
Please update. mirage mlu deal is already signed . and mig 29 also have mlu package in russiaAlso by 2020 the Mig29s and Mirage 2000 will be 41 years old unless IAF goes for a midlife upgrade of the aircrafts.
dont able think from pilots point of view.
I dont know
Regarding MMRCA, 2012 is a dream case scenario if the deal is signed before the end of this year (2010 is almost finished), you cannot expect to see the 1st squadron within a year of finalizing the deal. BTW, IAF and Indian Govt still need to negotiate the finer details of the deal and finalize it, that is not going to take a couple weeks - lucky if a few months given Indian Govt's track record.Sir, Su 30 Mki's are On a Roll.... India is Ordering 50 Su 30 MKI every year other than the Oners Previously ordered, Both HAL and Sukhoi are Producing the MKI's for India.... India is seriously looking agead for over 300 MKI's and LCA Tejas has been ordered only 40 Now, But the IOC be given and FOC , and The work for LCA MK2 has already begun with the Miniaturization of AESA Radar we have built, Next comes the MMRCA, IAF has shortlisted the fighters and Has handed over to the defense ministry , We would start Inducting the First Squadrons from 2012 onwards for sure....
