Hopefully with lack of spares, we retire Jaguars faster and replace it with Mk1A / Mk2.
Can't see collecting the retired pieces all over the world..
Even commie publication is quoting ID-RW ? There is no other source?![]()
India Is Importing More Retired British Jaguars to Keep Its Ageing Strike Fleet Airborne
The Indian Air Force is acquiring nine retired UK Jaguars for cannibalisation to sustain its six remaining squadrons of the Cold War-era fighter even beyond the 2030s.thewire.in
I am currently not aware about the latest plan. But what I knew was that the 3 non darin 3 squadrons will be retired along with 3 mig29 squadrons by 2030.
But seems plans have changed due to non delivery of tejas, non signing of rafale and no progress on su30 mlu.
Now the Mig29UPG will start going out from 2030. The Mirage 2000 from 2035 and the Darin III after 2035.
Mig-29UPG is likely to be upgraded again.
I read on Twitter about AESA radar on Naval MIG 29
Maybe UPGs of IAF , if all goes well
Both MIG 29 and Mirage 2000 need to be used as Long Range ASM platforms like for e.g. Rampage or some other weapons
Without AESA , they are not good enough even for CAPs
