The Indian Air Force had hit a low point with only 29 fighter squadrons in 2020. China’s recent aggressive actions have reignited India’s concerns. The sighting of China’s J-20 fighter in Tibet poses a significant threat. India’s own stealth fighter, the AMCA, is still many years away from deployment. In the meantime, I believe that acquiring the F-35 could serve as a temporary solution to bolster India’s air defense capabilities.

    If India also gets the advanced avionics, electronic countermeasures, and standoff weapons of the F-35 this could work. The fighter has a bad maintenance record, and I fear it would be difficult to keep in the air for a prolonged conflict. The Chinese usually rely on numbers wearing their opponents down and are willing to take casualties, a strategy that could overtax an air force built around F-35s.
