We have passed the threshold of "too fast" 20 years ago. Signing purchase orders for dozens of fighters this very day would still be very late due to the damage that has already been done to the organisation. Lack of air power has played a significant part in our recent foreign relations blunders.
BAF at present is too weak, with zero BVR capability and only 8 high performance jets, to take the standard route of two OCUs per squadron approach.
A dozen OCUs will be quick damage control and it just might enable us to hold the fort in a conflict 5 years down the line.
