The Air Chief had been repeatedly stating at every opportunity he got that Rafales have their own use in IAF. Seems like Rafales will replace the Mig-21s and 27s as soon as they arrive in India. Followed in the medium term by retirement of Jaguars.
The picture should look like this: Light: Tejas; Medium: Rafales, AMCA; Heavy: FGFA, Su-30MKIs.
Mirages' spares won't be a problem when Rafales gets going.
Also, with IAF and Navy sharing Rafales (albeit different versions, but still), logistics will become a lot easier.
