Our IAF boys are ready to meet any situation, unfortunately they don%u2019t have enough tactical fighters to meet the threat from our neighbors.
As per the latest report our IAF requires 600-700 fighters where as we have only 125 now and even if we go for the 126 deal (which the first batch of 2 fighters will be inducted by 2012-13) by that time except MIG-29 all our MIG's would have phase out).
We all know, pak and chin are combined to have more fighters in their inventory these days and they are modernizing their military rapidly.
One of our IAF official said, this GOVT. due to the pressure from political allies going to cut the supplies of defense and the number of squadron from 40 to 29, which seems a threat to our nations.
FYI as per BBC, most of our IAF Fighter pilots are doing " paper work" since they don%u2019t have any fighters!!!!!!!!!!!
