What's new

Indian govt clears acquisition of 7x Airbus A321 for DRDO’s SCA (Signal Intelligence and COMJAM Aircraft)

Very good news, we need to buy more and more 2nd hand aircrafts to make force multipliers like Refuellers , AWACs,SIGNIT,battle management etc. Much better than buying brand new platform which can be easily done on the cheap commercial jets!!
 
What happened to ISTAR?

But are they Enough

only 6 netra mk2 we need double that amount, not to mention they will only be able to provide 300° coverage,
(I hope the next 6 netra mk3 will be rotordome variant with 360° coverage)

7 EW aircrafts aren't enough either, currently we have none, we need at the very least 12 of those

Only 2 SIGNIT aircraft, honestly at this point why even bother and order even those 2, let the sad state of affairs keep going.

Our Refueler situation is even more hopeless, 6 soviet era IL 78 which are grounded half the time

It feels so ducking hopeless 😔😔😔

Sad state of affairs, but now that you mention P8i don't we need 6 more of them, wasn't there a clause in the orignal agreement for a possibility of 6 more aircrafts
Original plan was that only but It seems MQ9B sea guardian UAVs can offset that with similar ASW capabilities. Also in future you can expect C-295 based MPA as well.
