Ohh i thought that india might be saving some planes for emergency situation because this is what The Economist Revealed couple of days back :
According to The Economist, India’s land, air and naval forces lack communication. It added that most of India’s firepower looks great only on the paper. It added that though with 2000 aircrafts Indian air force is the 4th largest of the world, only 60% of its jets are able to fly.
