The 97 TEJASs are wanted whereas the IAF has solely about 32 fighter squadrons and that too, together with the MiG-21s, is on its manner out. The 97 TEJASs, if they arrive, would clearly imply 5 further, much-needed squadrons. The TEJAS is an indigenous fighter, though the engine and another parts are imported.

By upgrading the 84, after which the remainder of the fleet, the IAF will guarantee they’ve one other twenty years. The Sukhois have had issues and are costly to function, partly as a result of they’re two-pilot plane, however are at the moment a necessary a part of the IAF arsenal.
