The massive capital commitment includes the monumental medium multi-role combat aircraft (MMRCA), likely to be contracted to Dassault Aviation by the end of this year for 126 Rafale jets, primary trainer aircraft, Boeing C-17 Globemaster-III heavy lift transports, many more medium transports and several miscellaneous special mission aircraft and helicopters. In addition, the IAF will be investing in backbone network centric architecture to consolidate AFNET, and begin investments in space-based assets as well.
The IAF, as is well known, has also been pitching for a dedicated military satellite. The major thrust of procurement will be to shore up combat strength, and slowly pull squadron numbers up from 34 to 42—the ideal figure sanctioned to the IAF.
