IAF might be able to acquire retired recently retired Polish or Romanian mig-21s. Since they don't seem to want anything modern or new.

Sad state of affairs.

Blame rests on your beloved Uncle Sam and GE.

Anyways, this situation is only temporary and once GE starts to supply the engines in promised quantities, our situation shall most definitely improve.

PS: More Rafales should be ordered ASAP, with or without MRFA. Period.

Blame isn't on uncle Sam or GE. It's totally and squarely on us. Your line of thinking resembles the current state of Pakistani people & establishment, and I know it will hurt.

Disruption in supply chain is globally known as I know first hand how much Indian enterprises suffer specially due to short term, piecemeal orders and lack of foresight on both government and private sector instead having the courage to do what they must if we are become a hard power.

Nothing more nothing less.

Really? Blame someone else for being a decade late?

Seems like I might get my white paper

This much has always been done.

Blame rests with ADA for delaying the development of Mk1.

Minimum ratio for fighter fleet is 2.25:1. IAF and IN even today have just 1.75:1. That is the amount of fighter pilot shortage we have.

I think the IAF's is 1.5. Not enough basic trainers. They are training just 100 per year.
