Airforce Migs and Navy Migs are different.
That is very far fetched. We don't know which parts/MSME supplier is the bottleneck in the whole supply chain. Most probably something related to Safran just like GE, so without it we would be still stuck with same production speed. Because we will only be making low tech stuff in the assembly.Definitely the production rate is low but isn't that a cause-n-effect loop type thing
An order for 150 Rafale is a huge deal. It would have been the biggest non French order at that time or to put in perspective, even today it's close to the combined total of all the orders other than French and Emirati. For this much of Euros involved we could've easily made them do
or atleast
C-295 manufacturing facility launched: Here's how it will transform IAF's tactical airlift operations
India had signed a Rs 21,000 crore deal with Airbus to procure 56 C-295 transport aircraft in September 2021. These will replace the IAF's Avro-748 planes. As per the agreement, Airbus will deliver the first 16 aircraft in ‘fly-away’ condition from its assembly line in Spain, within 7 years.www.businesstoday.in
And voila, your supply issue is pretty much sorted
Other than engine, the biggest problem in Dassault is the lack of skilled manpower. Obviously no one would accept that and simply pass it as "supply chain issue" but there were some talks about transferring people from Falcon's line to Rafale's.That is very far fetched. We don't know which parts/MSME supplier is the bottleneck in the whole supply chain. Most probably something related to Safran just like GE, so without it we would be still stuck with same production speed. Because we will only be making low tech stuff in the assembly.
For Safran leap engines
Safran Has Trouble Meeting Demand For Aircraft Engines
Aircraft engine manufacturer Safran posted Thursday rising revenues and hiked its annual profit forecast, but at the same time it has been having difficulty meeting demand to equip the top-selling planes of Airbus and Boeing.www.barrons.com
At this point I feel like we should simply order J-20s and end all these nonsense of RFI-RFP-L1-Cancellation-Re-RFI
Believe me, that process would be more straightforward that whatever's been happening since I don't know how many years
?NahHold on tho. Can we... like, order J-10s
. Amriki were offering us F-21 after selling Pak F-16. Both sides have simultaneously used Mig-21 variants as wellAgain nahAMCA is far, how 'bout J-31 in MRCA
Maybe
It is for govt to realise hard geopolitical realities and go whole hog on domestic fighter programmes with Russian/French engines with side by side development of Kaveri. Sanction Tedbf now instead of 4 year later, give ample funding to amca and uav projects with better accountability. Drawing out each year just 1% of annual freebie budget I.e 4 lac crore will be enough to fund our strategic projects. But only a non banana country would think above vote banks

I have always wondered why aren't the COI reports made public. As @Ayan Barat once mentioned, Indian Military needs a public hearing akin to the US congressional hearings!
And when we criticize our generals people starts calling us out on social media ..
