For the next 8-10 years, our priority in terms of Air Power would be more tilted towards building up Sq. numbers via Tejas Mk2 & MRFA (which will eat almost 80% of IAFs budget). Apart from Sq. numbers, IAF is looking at acquiring more second hand Refuellers & AWACS (which I genuinely feel is a good idea). Add to that building on Air Defence capabilities by acquiring XR SAM & Akash NG. Other areas where we would be spending good sum of money include the Super Sukhoi Programme, development of AMCA & IMRH etc. Keeping all this in mind, we have very little funds left to acquire big strategic Aircrafts like A 400 & even if we do, it won't likely be in big numbers. I guess we can use the same Mig 29 route, also being planned for Su 30 i.e Comprehensive upgrade Avionics & EW Suite of IL76 being done by DRDO while negotiating with Russia for upgradation of engines of IL 76. It's important to keep IL 76 in service for another 10-15 years & for that Engine Upgrade is a must. Engine upgrade would also improve it's serviceability quite a bit. IL 76 along with C 17 will take care of our Strategic Airlift capability, specially while facing a 2 front threat for the next 10-15 yrs.

C-17 Globemaster is the best heavy transport aircraft in the world. But C-17 Globemaster production has been already stopped. In spite of it, Indian Air Force can purchase used C-17 Globemaster from US Air Force. Because more than 100 C-17 Globemaster are existed in US Air Force fleet. So India Govt should purchase more 20 used C-17 Globemaster heavy transport Aircrafts from US Air Force fleet. I think it's only one solution to increase fleet of C-17 Globemaster heavy transport aircrafts in Indian Air Force transport aircraft fleet..

India should anyhow dodge the sanctions and comprehensively upgrade the IL 76 work horses.

[@CatOfCulture]

No. They're unreliable as hell. Many personnel have stated this. The airforce itself uses the C-17 for everything it'd use the Il-76 for. We need to avoid them like the plague

[@rohitgoyal7258]

The problem is, there aren't much heavy lifters. There was C-17 whose doors are closed. New IL-76 probably not after russian invasion and reliability issues. Another good option was AN-124. then there are super heavy lifters, C-5 galaxy and AN-225 which are probably unnecessary and too expensive for IAF.

[@de-comm8715]

AN 124 is the only choice with availability.

[@sagnikchatterjee8122]

Have a que , we know C17 production is stopped but we know there r 100s of such aircraft present in boneyard and its said they r maintained with time so that they can be used in emergency , so cant we buy some from there and modify with things that are required ?

[@thenovicegamer007]

C17s are not in the "boneyard". Only old aircraft which the USAF does not use anymore are kept their. But the USAF though they have almost 150 C17 want even more and are not going to retire their C17s any time soon, thus you won't find any in the boneyard

[@Beautiful_Earth_2718]

In Light Catagory Transport Aircrafts like Abro and AN-32 has a Good Alternative... C-295 is One of the Best in its Class... For Medium catagory Aircrafts If Super Hercules is not Ordered In Additional Numbers, Then Embraer C-390 will be Best Option for IAF. The Problem is with Heavy Lift Aircrafts... Only 11 GlobeMasters are in Service... We need to search for Local solutions to Upgrade IL-76/78 If Those get Upgraded then It will Provide a Big Punch to Our Air Force...

[@amarjeetbadhani3616]

JAI HIND 🇮🇳 🇮🇳 🇮🇳 Very food video of showing transport fleet of Indian Airforce..

[@Sacrafago90]

Only way to upgrade them is now to retrofit them with comparable western engines similar to D30 of IL76 or just get new engines from Russia,rest for avionics,subsystems replace them with compitable western subsystems. Next,IL76 are already 35+ years old & soon they are scheduled to be retired by mid of next decade,so time to search for alternatives now. Now,no other platforms are available in its category,so India need to buy the entire design of An 70 from Antonov,(An 170 variant)which is cash stripped for now & manufacture them locally,using Indian & western components,with western engines,avionics & subsystems. It will have a payload capacity of 47-50 tonnes with minor modifications. 36 units locally produced to replace the entire fleet of IL76 & IL78,also to add numbers. Next,in Tactical Airlifter category,we need to mantain the fleet of 36 C130J Hercules (24 purchased from Royal Airforce & upgraded) 72/80 C390/C2 locally produced here to replace the entire fleet of An 32. 120 C295 Transport (Additional 60 units ordered later) 72 units for Airforce,36 units for Army,6 units for Navy/Marines & 6 units for Coast Guards. ***Out of 36,12 units modified to act as Gunships.
