  1. From 1971 to Feb 27th 2019 IAF had been buying foreign aircraft, but when air battle happened on Feb 27th all these expensive foreign aircraft let India down……..SU 30 had to leave the airspace , mirage 2000 had internal radar issues and could not confront the intruding aircraft, Mig 21 bison got shot down , Israeli anti aircraft missile shot IAF own Mi17 helicopter…….time to go local !!!
