Default Indian Air Power

As we all know and talking about IAF prepration to hit terrorist camps in Pakistan so trying to put some light on IAF.

With its headquarters in New Delhi, the Indian Air Force has a strength of approximately 170,000 personnel and 1430 combat aircrafts making it the fourth largest air force in the world after US, Russia and China....

Sukhoi SU-30MK




The Sukhoi is the IAF's prime air superiority fighter. IAF has 150+ of these heart fearing Bombers..


MIG 29s


The MIG-29 (NATO: Fulcrum) has a top speed of 2,445 km/h (Mach 2.3) and is armed with a 30 mm cannon along with R-60 & R-27 R missiles. Capable of flying at 2,500 km/h (Mach 2.3).


Mirage 2000s


The Mirage 2000-H is the IAF's prime ground-attack fighter jet while the double seater Mirage 2000-TH can also play the role of an effective interceptor aircraft.....India has more than 250 of these.


Jaguars


This is one of the most feared fighter of IAF extremely capable of fierce ground attacks....The tanks regiments all over the world fear this monster....India has more than 200 of these.


MIG 27s and Tejas LCA




MIG 27s are again Jaguar like ground attack fighters. The single-seater MiG-27 carries one GSh-6-30 six-barrelled 30 mm cannon, 4000 kg of general-purpose ordnance, SPPU-22 and SPPU-6 gun pods, and various guided air-to-surface missiles.....Whereas Tejas as all of you has just been introduced into IAF and will replace more than 200 MIG 21s. Tejas has world's fiercest close combat air to air missile R-73....


Hawk AJT & MI-25 choppers


The BAE Systems Hawk is a British single engine, advanced jet trainer aircraft....Earlier Indian trainee pilots on MIG 21s crashed due to sudden change of speed for a trainee pilot....IAF has obtained 66 of these advance jet trainers to overcome this problem....It can be used in combat as well.....MI choppers are deadly machines and India has 600 of these..

The US offered us F-16 but we have not purchased it. India is more interested in F-18 Hornets.

India still surviving with their Russian Fighters [mig , sukhois etc]

The Sukhoi 30-MK are one of the best in the world. Only the F/A-22 Raptors and F-18 Hornets are superior.

India is looking for the advanced version of Mirage-2000 (the Mirage 2000-5) also. Here are some more pics.




The Mirage-2000 is deep penetration ground strike aircraft. It is not suitable for dog-fights in the air.

The F-18 are meant for fighting over the sea. They were the replacement for F-15 Eagles.

Here is an F/A-22 Raptor (possibly the world's best fighter aircraft right now):

Default F18 Hornet

All-weather fighter and attack aircraft.
The newest model, Super Hornet, is highly capable across the full mission spectrum: air superiority, fighter escort, reconnaissance, aerial refueling, close air support, air defense suppression and day/night precision strike. Compared to the original F/A-18 A through D models, Super Hornet has longer range, an aerial refueling capability, increased survivability/lethality and improved carrier suitability
