The Indian Air Force (IAF) will acquire airframes, assorted spares, and sub-assemblies from France, Oman, and the United Kingdom by the end of the year to support its ageing fleet of about 120 SEPECAT Jaguar IS/IB/IM ground-attack aircraft and improve their overall operational serviceability.

on 24 July that France has agreed to supply the IAF 31 Jaguar airframes as a gift while Oman has consented to donate two similar airframes as well as eight Rolls-Royce Adour engines and 3,500 lines of spares for the platforms.
The United Kingdom has offered two twin-seat Jaguar airframes and 619 lines of spares, capable of being restored to a fully serviceable condition for INR28 million (USD407,000).
In 2017 France and Germany announced their intention to develop a sixth-generation combat aircraft to replace the Typhoon, Tornado, and Rafale aircraft that are currently in service. BAE Systems, Leonardo, and Saab almost instantly expressed interest in participating in the multi-billion-Euro programme, which is expected to be led by Airbus and France’s Dassault Aviation.
