I agree it is frightening what contracts they have signed this year. It can't be all due to Pakistan, as most of their bases are near the Chinese border I am guessing that that is where their nervousness is.

Well it it like that.If you have strong army then your neighbors will stay away from you.Anyway Mig-21s are almost on the end,Mig-27 too,no plans for jaguras as far as I know.Only Mirages will go through upgrade and Mig-29s.And they are 1 billion people country so they need big army.Still far from USA today.

Technically it's just the AIA 737-800 model painted to look like the P-8.

I worked on that Bird. There is a Resin conversion kit in 1/144 scale to convert the Revell -800 to a U.S. model P-8A. The Indian P-8I is different, but I am sure the kit is still usable. Look for Contrails models online. They also make a flaps down wing set for the same Revell kit.
