India’s $20B ‘Mother Of All Defense Deals’ For 114 Multi-Role Fighter Aircraft Get Entangled In Red Tape?
It is a windfall of defense acquisition proposals for the Indian Armed Forces as the country’s Defense Acquisition Council (DAC) gave its nod for military hardware purchases worth 2.23 trillion rupees (US $26.76 billion). But what was missing from the acceptance of necessity (AoN) for big-ticket purchases like fighter jets and helicopters is the AoN for 114 Medium Multi-Role Fighter Aircraft (MRFA).
The IAF, grappling with dwindling fighter squadrons and an aging fleet, has been making a case for the MRFA, seen as the Medium Multi-Role Combat Aircraft (MMRCA) deal re-incarnated. Despite the IAF pushing hard for it, the Indian government, emphasizing “Made in India,” has not budged about purchasing 114 fighter jets from foreign manufacturers at an estimated US$20 billion.
Showing its commitment to the “Make in India,” the IAF has agreed to 97 additional indigenous Light Combat Aircraft Mk1 from the Indian aerospace maker Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL), the AoN for which was granted by the DAC-led by Defense Minister Rajnath Singh on November 30. The government’s nod has also come to purchase 156 home-built Light Combat Helicopters (LCH) ‘Prachanda.’
The IAF has underscored the urgent need for modern fighter platforms at every possible opportunity. And it can be safely said that once the AoN comes from the South Block, which houses the Indian defense ministry, it will take at least 6 to 8 years before the steel birds enter its fleet.
India will need a lot of aircraft to maintain combat parity with the People Liberation Army-Air Force (PLAAF), which remains the IAF’s primary adversary for years to come. However, the IAF still needs to convince the incumbent Indian government that only imported aircraft in such large numbers can meet the need.
Air Marshal Khosla (retired) said that while the IAF’s capabilities have increased, its “ endurance capacity, the strength of fighter and combat support platforms” need attention. “Overall, the deterrence capability has not kept pace with the existing threat perception. This aspect needs to be addressed urgently,” he adds.
“While building up the capability and capacity, the most important thing to remember is that the required minimum deterrence value is to be maintained at all times (either by domestic production or outside procurement). The lesson from all the recent wars is that self-reliance in defense production is essential,” Air Marshal Khosla summed up.
An official told the EurAsian Times earlier. “F-21, F-15E, Gripen-E, Su-35 could all be contenders. The whole process, up to aircraft delivery, will take 6 to 7 years. By then, Tejas Mk-2 may also be ready for induction. That may be the reason for the government’s indecision.”
The most significant task the IAF has is to convince the government to import fighter aircraft in the presence of LCA Mk-2 and Mk-1A.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi flew the indigenous LCA ‘Tejas’ in a strong signal of faith the government is reposing in the homegrown defense industry. Also, taking a cue from ongoing global conflicts, the government seems to have understood that the only way to achieve an international stature is to have a solid domestic military-industrial complex.

F 18 is a deck based fighter, made for specific needs of American Navy ,How come it entered the race of MMRCA of Indian Airforce. It completed with Rafale M for Indian Navy tender but can't be considered for IAF as it is an altogether different fighter plane .
Nobody is indispensible . India has many options except Us
India should go for Dassault Rafale F4 aircrafts.
No Russian aircraft. Technologycall weak. This cannot be denied. Either Rafael or Eoro.... tycoon .
36 more Rafaels.....72 FA18 super hornets🎉
Why super hornets ? I mean I am not an expert but we already are upgrading our su30mkis to supersukhois which are similar categories. Although electronic warfare version i.e. fa18 growler is too good and can be bought for ew fighter in small numbers to counter Chinese j16 electronic warfare jets. We all saw what happened to our Sam when Pakistani electronic warfare plane was used in 2019 after Swift retort.
2024 fighter jet order karoge to, 114 fighter aircraft milega 2030 saal tak. Or tab 4.5generation aircraft Lena burbak wali baat hoga. Isiliye agar Lena hain to 5th generation ka fighter jet lo. Jai Hind
First flight 18 November 1978; 45 years ago
Introduction 7 January 1983 (USMC)
Retired 2019 (Hornet, USN)
Fail to understand why will someone buy something that is outdated
We are not buying them on loan then why will India buy 4th gen aircraft why can't we buy the latest 5 th gen aircraft
Yeh is janm main toh ho nhi payega lg Raha. Kitni saal ho gye
US companies have not given any offer of fifth generation till date.... India might not be interested...
Too expensive
F35 ya Su57 Chaeye bas dusra nahi
मेरे पिता दो साल बीमार रहे। मैने उनकी सेवा की। फरवरी 2021 में उनका निधन हो गया। MMRCA उनके बीमार होने के भी दो साल पहले से सुन रहा हूं।
अब कुछ समय से प्रगति हुई है। इसका नाम बदल कर MMRCA 2.0 हो गया है।
बधाई हो वायुसेना को।
मां कई साल से गर्भवती है... और डॉक्टर हैं कि बता ही नहीं पा रहे कि बच्चा कब जन्मेगा।
MMRCA 2010 se sun raha hoon. 2010 mein Rafale price negotiation mein jeet gaya, 36 Rafale order kiye government ne, ab MMRCA almost khatm ho chuka hain. MMRCA mein IAF koi bhi 4++ Generation Aircraft nahi khareednewali kyun ki medium weight 4++ Generation Aircraft ab India mein bana sakte hain.
MMRCA ab sirf political propaganda hain. Aur ye aage ke 10 years chalta rahega .
Is main new Kaya hai apne like aur coment Kay liye wohi sab kush guma rahe ho lassi say makhan nahi niklta😂😂😂
Mig 35 or SU 57its neraly going to final
500
Tab Tak duniya aadhi ho jayegi 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
F-15EX II.
all are a waste of money.. F-18, F-15, F-16, Rafale, Eurofighter, Gripen, Su-35 etc all are 4th gen. Need 5th gen for the tip. The rest can be made in india
F-16 F-21 Gripen Eurofighter it's already out of competition
India has to purchase a SU-57 Russian Fighter Jet
Abhi abhi rafel se beat hua hai su57
Russian engine reliability less then Europian engine
No broo..only Rafale
.
Kuch b bolte ho Bhai su57 fail ha
No rs j**k
India should not get any fighter jets from America only if they give all the engine technology to India.
Fighter jets nahi lene to
Battery rickshaw le lo
