The Jaguar is still in widespread use in India. The latest development of the Jaguar IS is the DARIN-III upgrade with modified avionics and an EL/M-2052 AESA radar. The radar required a reshaped nose cone with a larger diameter as can be seen in this picture, comparable with the Jaguar IM maritime strike variant in use by India.

Being prepared for static display at Aero India 2019.

On static display on the 89th Air Force Day at Hindon AFS. Safe to say that the "Jag" is still a favorite sight for many, and the IAF is now the only operator in the world. Inducted in July 1979, the "Shamsher" initially equipped No. 14 Sqn. "Bulls" as a Deep Penetration Strike Aircraft (DPSA). It was used during IPKF ops in 1987 and Kargil in 1999. This DARIN III variant has been considerably upgraded with an Open System Architecture Mission Computer, EFIS, smart MFDs, radar, RWRs and other avionics.

The Indian Air Force had sent Six Jaguars, two Il-76MDs and two Il-78MKI to Alaska to participate in exercise Cope Thunder 2004. All were captured on their way home whilst refuelling at Pratica di Mare, Italy.
