So just to be clear
SP-21 ... LA-5021
SP-22 ... LA-5022

Yeah, LoA is for 12 but HAL should build a production line capable of making 24/year. Saar, should it not be better to match the build rate to the ageing and retirement schedule of Cheetahs and Chetaks unless ofcourse we were building up the total capacity in the Forces. i.e increasing LuH squadron...

Wow Air Marshal Mateshwaran is a Tejas proponent now!!! Thank you for calling that out. I was thinking this must be another AM Mathee. Good Lord .. he did make plenty of people on BRF do back flips and tear our hair out before we began to systematically challenge his arguments. Reminds of the old s...

I guess the need must be really high to play ball and relieve the pressure on Pakistan. They are really teaching us how to live without them.

Isn't the MTA still alive, embers flickering? Since I am on a roll making bold claims all over this forum, I will make one more: the MTA is dead and buried . Nothing will come off it.

Dear Admiral Should the question be ? What is there that needs saving by Arjun ?

It wasn't going anywhere quickly either John. the DRDO-OFB combination meant the army was dragging its feet on the matter as well.

First of all the BlackJacks and Bears are slow and lumbering. What was the premise for both of these aircraft ?

The funny thing is both of you agree that Marshal Filipov drags and brags about his Russian wares.
Both of you agree that Bears and Blackjacks had merits and are perhaps not the hottest piece of slice you need right now.

The 3rd Infantry Div in Leh before 1995 (with 28 de-inducted into the Valley) used to necessitate 3 X IL-76 flights (min) + 5 X An-32 + 2 X An-12s every winter day to keep the souls fed and warm.

I am so happy for this to happen (Sig purchase). This should hopefully kill the AK 203 JV.
I just hope we have a clear desi rifle contender like the Light Utility Helicopter against the the Russian JV.
