jags and mig-27s ain`t bombers in truest sense, they are deep strike fighter bombers.
My only wish is that wateva we chose for mrca, should have a decent , proven A2G capability.
typhoon and Rafale fits for the job

Jaguar DARIN III making it a full 4th generation deep strike fighter. ASRAAM is one of the best short range AAM in the world, it will certanly enhyance the capability of Jags.
They are not the best bombers, they are the only bombers India uses besides Mig-27.
Bombing capabilities of Mirage 2000 and MKI are way better than these Jaguars, and the record of these Jaguars isn't any good. The Jaguars have a LOT of limitations. It would be better if we retire them soon along with all the Mig-27s.
Jaguar is DSPA , because it flies close to ground for longer range evading ground radars and carryin strike package is its specific role with Air superiorty aircraft escorting ... Now with Asraam is in invertory it might do this job alone... End of story

The problem is, that most of the licence produced are still pretty new, I read somewhere that the last was inducted in the around 2000, which leaves still a lot of life in them, but just as you said, with several limitations as well. That's why they will be retired only around 2025, with AMCA, or better AURA UCAV, but if I'm not wrong, their performance in terms of quality and reliability is better compared to the Mig 27 right?

^^ it is good once we achieve air superiority for strike role.
Do not forget Americans drop the plan of retiring A-10 Thunderbolts once they see its action in war zone.
When will they retire them?????????
Please highlight few of those glaring limitations...b/w i know the buzz these days is multi-role but don't you think dedicated strategic bombers are still need of the hour for iaf???
Yes, Jaguars fare better than Mig-27 on various counts. Most of the times people go by the paper specs to compare aircraft which is the dumbest thing one can do. In real world usage, the scenario can be completely different. Same is the case with Jaguar and Mig-27. The Jaguar is a better aircraft any day.
what is the name of MBDA ASRAAM going to put on Jaguar ...
