The new IAF leadership apparently is more dynamic and is focusing on bypassing as much of the red tape as possible - using political pressure to get bureaucrats to sign things through.Really admire PAF for being so nimble and dynamic in its acquisitions.
IAF and the bureaucracy here makes any acquisition such a long drawn process. This kind of dynamic change while the airframes are almost ready (like BK IIIs) are unthinkable here.
However, that means unfortunately in some cases they are providing leverage to certain political groups to extract “favors” later in terms of favorable contracts for their constituents or otherwise.
The Indian ADGE is an example where this fast track process was applied and pretty soon will make any offensive process outside to the PAF lethal (one way missions for the most part if stand off weapons are not used from Pakistan airspace).
