Click to play videoAmbala Airbase: Indian Air Force's Jaguars are all set to get more teeth, an extra set of 32 to be precise.
How does a Jaguar get more teeth? Well, if it's the one in the air, by creating room for a second fighter pilot on board.
The Indian Air Force is now inducting twin-seater Jaguar fighters for more destructive firepower.
Potential adversaries better watch out as there is double trouble in store for them.
The Indian Air Force Jaguar squadrons are now opting for twin-seater variants to add muscle to their deep strike capability.
It is like two beasts rolled into one. The objective is to deliver bombs with deadly accuracy.
"Precision strikes is the future of the Indian Air Force as no country today will stand for collateral damage," Air Officer Commanding-in-Chief, Western Air Command Air Marshal AK Singh says.
The pilot in the rear cockpit will be the weapon systems operator tasked with ensuring pin-point bombing.
The other pilot will then be left free to steer the aircraft through dense enemy air defences.
Indeed, the new cockpits are so crowded, and information overload so heavy that a second pilot is deemed a necessity on complex missions in well-defended areas.
"Twin-seater helps you to share the load and delivger it more precisely because you have to not only worry about target but other aircraft closing on to you," Commanding Officer of 14 Sqn, Wing Commander RR Tyagi says.
Jaguars, both old and new, will be equipped with laser-guided bombs for accuracy.
"Laser-guided bomb costs you to the tune of a crore and certainly can't be wasted," Air Marshal AK Singh adds.
Pin-point precision attacks are the future of the Indian Air Force.
And its Jaguars are being modified to strike the fear Of God and the Air Force in the heart of the enemy.
