Bhadauria was speaking at the combined graduation parade at the Air Force Academy in Dundigal. He said once the Rafale is fully operational, the service can turn its attention to inducting the LCA. The indigenous jet will replace the MiG-21.
Separately, Times of India also reported that the Indian Air Force has stand up 101 Squadron as the second Rafale Squadron. The unit is now at Ambala and will officially induct at Hasimara air base within a month.

IT IS A FACT IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN THAT THE INDIAN STATE IS NOW SHIFTING ITS PROCUREMENT TO THE EU – AND THIS HAS ALSO COINCIDED WITH SOME UNEXPLAINED MIG 29 CRASHES (RECENTLY) ON RUSSIAN CARRIERS – AND THE FACT THAT A FEW YEARS AGO ,THE USAF BOUGHT 12 – RUSSIAN MIG 29s – from a EASTERN EU nation –AND HAS DISSECTED THE MIGS (with GERMAN AID)
INDIAN MIGs crash at the minimum once in 60-90 days – and not in border areas,PLAF crashes Indian Sukhois and Choppers at will in the North East – especially in Arunachal and Sikkim – by EMP and EW – for which Indians have no Counter measures.In essence,the PLAF is conversant with all the IAF and ADS platforms in the Eastern Theatre.
AND PLAF is using its own Jets made for their specific needs – and no IAF pilot has even a reasonable idea about the capabilities of the latest Chinese Jets and the skills of their pilots.And the IAF will learn soon, the hard way.
Data on IAF crashes in India is TOP SECRET and no one knows how and why the planes crash !
IN THE CONTEXT OF LARGE NUMBER OF MIG CRASHES W.R.T MIGs MADE BY HAL – WHEREIN THE IAF HAS ACCUSED THE HAL OF POOR QUALITY AND THE HAL HAS ACCUSED THE IAF OF INEPTITUDE AND POOR TRAINING – IT MIGHT BE NOTED THAT ALMOST ALL EU/US AND RUSSIAN AIRCRAFT SUPPLIERS HAVE REFUSED TO ALLOW HAL TO DO A LICENSED MANUFACTURE IN INDIA
• THIS IS A TESTIMONY TO THE DEFENSE MANUFACTURING IN INDIA AND THE FACT THAT FOREIGN AIRCRAFT MAKERS DO NOT WANT TO DAMAGE THEIR BRAND BY ALLOWING A MAKE IN INDIA OPERATION and also,THAT THEY DO NOT TRUST HAL WITH THEIR TECHNOOLOGY SECRETS
IT IS ALSO A FACT THAT THE INDIAN AIRCRAFT CRASH INVESTIGATION AUTHORITY , HAS OPENLY DOUBTED THE CAPABILITIES OF THE INDIAN AIRFORCE TO CONDUCT AN IMPARTIAL AND INDEPENDENT COI
o IT IS A MATTER OF SPECULATION THAT THE AIR CRASH INVESTIGATION OF THE IAF IS DELIBERATELY UNDERSTAFFED ,UNDERSKILLED,UNSKILLED AND COMPROMISED TO SUIT THE AGENDA OF VESTED INTERESTS IN INDIA AND FOREIGN NATIONS
THE DEBATE IN THE INDIAN MEDIA AND INDIAN PARLIAMENT IS WORTHLESS AND MEANINGLESS AS THERE IS NO QUESTIONING OF THE IAF W.R.T. A STRUCTURED ANALYSIS OF THE IAF CRASHES AND ITS TRENDS AS UNDER :
• AIRCRAFT TYPE
• AIRCRAFT BRAND
• WHETHER BRANDED AIRCRAFT (MIG) MADE IN INDIA (LIKE IN HAL)
• WHETHER SPARES SOURCED FROM HAL OR IMPORTED
• WHETHER SPARES IMPORTED FROM OEM OR AGENTS OR 2ND HAND SUPPLIES OR REFURBISHED SUPPLIES
• WHETHER SINGLE OR DOUBLE ENGINE AIRCRAFTS
• CLASS 1 ACCIDENTS (DESTRUCTION OF CRAFT AND PILOT) PER 10000, OR 100000 HOURS OF AIRCRAFT
• CLASS 1 ACCIDENTS (DESTRUCTION OF CRAFT AND PILOT) PER 1000, OR 10000 HOURS OF PILOT
• ACCIDENT HISTORY BY AGE OF AIRCRAFT
o ALL OF THE ABOVE, MAKES THE DATA IN PARAMOUNT PUBLIC INTEREST
ALL THE LEADING AIR FORCES OF THE WORLD, HAVE DONE A DETAILED STATISTICAL ANALYSIS OF THE ABOVE,AND PLACED IT IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN
• AS AN EXAMPLE,THE AIR CRASH AND FATALITY RECORD OF THE USAF PER 100000 FLYING HOURS IS LESS THAN 1 (AND THUS,IN DECIMAL DIGITS)
IN INDIA THIS OPACITY IS A PART OF A PLAN TO HIDE INCOMPETENCE IN THE IAF /HAL AND ALSO TO HIDE CORRUPTION IN THE PROCUREMENT OF JETS AND 2ND HAND SPARES – AND THE ARMS DEALERS HAVE PAID OFF THE POLITICIANS,BUREAUCRATS,IAF AND THE MEDIA
SEVERAL RETIRED AIF HONCHOS, ARE ON THE PAYROLL OF GLOBAL ARMS SUPPLIERS,AND DEALERS
The state of the IAF is evident in that , the IAF had peddled lies to explain the destruction of an IAF chopper, during the PAF air raid (a year ago) , later officially confirmed,to have been caused by the ADS of the Indian GBR inspite of IFF active on the choppers (possibly blocked or paralysed by PAF/IAF EW/Jammers).In essence, the Indian ADS shot down a IAF chopper (which was locked and loaded) ,on the Indian side of the border, in Bugdam !
The Rafale fighters have ALREADY BEEN BLOWN by PAF pilots in the Middle East.So unless the IAF is buying a customised version for combat with the PAF and the PLAF – this is another disaster !dindooohindoo
As I said above,The Rafale fighters have ALREADY BEEN FLOWN by PAF pilots, in the Middle East – but let us assume, that the IAF is getting customised Rafales
So Y are MIGs crashing ?
The Alt view is that IAF allows and plans the crashing of the MIGs.The aim is to crash the ,MIG and spare the pilot.Some of the pilots who are a liability or a burden or a risk,and are not exiting the IAF,also have a magical death,in the MIG crashes. The IAF pilots have blind faith on their technicians.The easiest way to kill a pilot in a MIG crash, is to jam or delay the ejection.
So what is the Grand Plan here ? MIG crashes suit the Arms dealers and the IAF honchos, and the Politicians and Bureaucrats ! In addition,it builds up the media hype,and drowns out the allegations of corruption,in news arms procurements.
MIG crashes also SUITS the IAF honchos wishes to make direct imports and NOT insist on tech transfer to HAL and DRDO – as IAF has no faith on Indians, and it provides post retirement benefits to the IAF honchos and employments to the kids of the IAF honchos. Jet acquisition, being a technical matter,THE TECHNICAL CLEARANCE IS ALL THAT COUNTS – and that is where the money is made.Thereafter,the price negotiation is done by bureaucrats and Politicians,who have never even flown a jet.The MIG crashes, JUSTIFY the TECHNICAL NEED for aircraft acquisition, to SUIT the DESIRES of the IAF honchos.
The Genius of the MIG crash model,is such that,the GOI conned the Indian Supreme Court to state that the Court had no ken to go into the pricing and corruption of the Rafale deal,The GOI stated that the Court should ONLY look into the process of procurement and pricing (As the process was laid down and planned,by the scamsters)
The Origin of the planting of this seed of genius of crashing MIGs, into the brain of the IAF honchos,Politicians and bureaucrats – are the ARMS DEALERS,WHO ARE CAMPED IN NEW DELHI. It is these arms dealers who make the IAF acquisition strategy, and also fund,defense think tanks in India and political parties.These arms dealers are funded by INT agencies and Global arms suppliers
So the MIG crashes are a part of a PLAN – and NOT random chance or training issues or engine failures.dindooohindoo
By deferring the MIG replacements interminably,the IAF and GOI are in a position of NO CHOICE and NO NEGOTIATION capacity.
The Anovirum Organum of the IAF crashes – how the IAF plans its crashes ?
Step 1 – Identify the Pilots who are a pain or a threat – in terms of raising a stink,on matters of corruption,harassment,incompetence,rape …
Step 2 – Identify the Pilots who are or will likely be, medically or physically impaired,to fly fighter jets, based on their medical and genetic history – and thus, be a dead weight on the IAF – and then,probably turn against the state
Step 3- Identify the aircrafts wherein no insurance is claimed for years or a decade,as a part of the Group or Cluster Accident Insurance Policy – and the insurance paid,is essentially down the drain – especially if paid to the private sector.Since no asset replacement is possible – post crash,the claim is only for the Book Value or Technical value of the aircraft – which is not a material amount
Step 4 – Identify the aircraft with the highest allocated cost (spares and maintenance/repairs and time and opportunity cost of engineering time),per effective operating hours per annum.
Step 5 – Identify jets made by HAL and spares for Jets supplied by HAL – which IAF pilots DO NOT WANT TO FLY OR USE.
Every 60-90 days,the above list is upated and the Chief presses the KILL BUTTON.The Defense Minister is a Rajput clown, who wears a lungi.He is the LEADER of the IAF.
