The bulk of the air fleet consists of ageing MIG series aircraft. However, a considerable residual life of this fighter fleet is still left for utilization by the Indian Air Force. The Indian Air Force combat fleet is being modernized through procurement of SU-30, Mirage – 2000, Jaguar and other combat aircraft and upgradation of existing aircraft inventory on a continuous basis.
The Light Combat Aircraft is planned for induction in the Indian Air Force from the year 2008 onwards.
This information was given by the Defence Minister Shri Pranab Mukherjee in a written reply to Shri Prabhunath Singh and Shri Raghunath Jha in Lok Sabha today.
