It has been delivered in 2019 and so far no shadow has been seen
If the Indian Air Force ordered 36 gust fighters, they can basically make a wonderful movie! From the original plan for the introduction of 126 advanced fighter jets, the final reduction was 36, and the target model was changed from F15 to F16, then from Su 30SM and MiG 35 to the European typhoon. The anxious Chinese netizens even wanted the Indian Air Force to come Check out J-10B! In the end, the introduction of this single fighter jet over the entire earth after ten years spent in France Dassault.

As early as September last year, Dassault held the first batch of gust fighter delivery ceremonies, but this delivery ceremony was only a ceremony. It has been almost a year since then, and the four gust fighters delivered at the ceremony are still in place. Indian pilots didn't even see the shadow of the gust on the tarmac of Dassault Company! But the news came recently that the four gusts that had been delivered as early as last year will be officially delivered to the Indian Air Force next month, in July, and the Indian pilots will return from France themselves!

Rafale will become the strongest fighter of the Indian Air Force

From the performance data, the gust fighter will undoubtedly become the strongest fighter of the Indian Air Force! First of all, the gust has always been regarded as a medium fighter, but this fighter has more ammunition than the heavy Su-30MKI of the Indian Air Force. Although the 36 gust fighters introduced by India have a unit price of 120 million U.S. dollars, they have become the most powerful in the world. The expensive third-generation aircraft, but a large part of it is caused by the Indian Air Force’s choice of “high gear”. The Indian Air Force requires that these 36 gusts be equipped with Israeli-developed helmet displays and also equipped with “Scape” long-range cruise missiles.

The "Scape" long-range cruise missile is an improved range extension of the French Apache air-to-surface missile. The missile weighs 1.2 tons and has a range of more than 500 kilometers. It can be carried by multiple platforms such as fighter jets and ships. The Indian Air Force is not equipped with a bomber, so it attaches great importance to the fighter’s ground attack ability. The previous equipment equipped with 300 multi-functional Su 30MKI confirmed this. The combination of the gust and the "Scape" long-range cruise missile, Let the Indian Air Force's land strike distance doubled.

36 Rafale unable to change the status of the Indian Air Force

In recent years, the Indian Air Force Su 30MKI fleet has grown in size, but its overall strength has not been significantly improved. The reason is that the current fighter aircraft replacement frequency is getting faster and faster. In an era of competition, most of the Indian Air Force’s Su 30MKI fleet It is still the initial configuration. Radar avionics and airborne weapons are outdated, resulting in no advantage even in the face of a medium-sized third-generation half-fighter such as the J-10C. The configuration of the gust introduced by the Indian Air Force this time can be described as one of the strongest three and a half generation fighters, but the arrival of the gust cannot change the status of the Indian Air Force.

First of all, the gusts are not stealth fighters, so 36 gusts cannot directly improve the Indian Air Force’s air control capabilities. It should be understood that the configuration of the J-10C and J-16 is not lower than the gust. Secondly, India wants to allow gusts to perform long-range land strike missions to meet two conditions: First, to obtain a custom air power, let the gust carrying the "Scap" long-range cruise missiles as far as possible to maximize the range of "Scap" The advantage is that the second is to suppress the opponent's ground air defense system. Otherwise, the "Skap" missile with a flying speed of only Mach 0.8 is difficult to break through the complete and advanced air defense network.

But it is difficult for the Indian Air Force to complete the above two conditions, because it is facing an army with an overall strength that is many times greater than itself! However, the Indian army, which has been "stimulated" in recent times, is purchasing a large amount of weapons and equipment, including the provisional decision to introduce 33 fighters to the Russian side, but the delivery of the 33 fighters will not be too early, unless the Russian Air Force handed over the used fighters it used To India. Therefore, the gust fighters that will arrive next month will more or less bring a certain sense of "security" to India and ease its "tension" in the recent period.
