With the Final Induction Ceremony the world’s best combat proven
4.5Gen fighter plane gets the world’s best fighter pilots. In the hands
of our pilots and the mix of different aircrafts with the IAF the potent
bird’s lethality will only increase.

Mirage 2000 but Su30MKI remains my fav and the boys get new
target to dogfight with and wait for BVR engagement till their
