AT PRESENT INDIA HAS AROUND 30 FIGHTER SQUADRONS AGAINST THE SANCTIONED STRENGTH OF 42 SQUADRONS, MOST OF THE MIG 21 ,MIG 29,JAGUARS AND MIRAGE 2000 ARE SCHEDULED TO BE PHASED OUT WITHIN NEXT 5 TO 7 YEARS WHICH MEANS INDIAN AIR FORCE NEEDSAT LEAST 8 TO 10 SQUADRONS OF ADVANCED LIGHT COMBAT AIRCRAFTS AND ADVANCED MEDIUM COMBAT AIRCRAFT WITHIN 2030 OR 2033 WHEN WORLD WAR THREE WILL START

IF HINDUSTAN AERONAUTICS LIMITED AND MANY PRIVATE SECTORS COMPANIES JOIN HANDS TOGETHER AND WORK ROUND THE CLOCK I AM VERY SURE THAT WITH THEIR JOINT EFFORTS WE WILL BE STILL SHORT OF AT LEAST 2 SQUADRONS CONSIDERING THE MULTI PRONGED 12 COUNTRIES ATTACKS ON INDIAN TERRITORY FROM ALL SIDES HENCE THERE IS AN URGENT NEED AND TOP PRIORITY SHOULD BE GIVEN BY MINISTRY OF DEFENCE FOR INCREASING THE NUMBER OF IAF SQUADRONS SUFFICIENTLY UPTO AT LEAST 40 SQUADRONS FOR AERIAL WARFARE IN THE NEXT DECADE TO MEET THE CHALLENGES OF WORLD WAR 3 AND SAFETY OF OUR COUNTRY MOTHER INDIA AND ITS LARGE CITIES JAI HIND, BHARAT MATA KI JAI
