IAF combat fleet down by nine squadrons
The Indian Air Force has reduced its number of squadrons from 39 to 30. This is due to the ageing of the MiG-21s as well as MiG-23s and MiG-27s.
The IAF wants to increase the production of Su-30 aircraft from eight to 12 per year, create another MiG-21 BIS squadron, and also placed an order for additional Jaguar as replacements.
