Re: Indian Army: News and Discussions 15 Apr 2012
What is canard that is being spread that "they were being paid for by the IAF"? Nonsense. The aircraft are being paid for by the Government of India, out of the annual defence budget. And said government has decided that the aircraft are going to the army. End of story. The Air Force's gra...

Re: Indian Army: News and Discussions 15 Apr 2012
Rajit0, I dont think the army ever requested CAS or TPT fixed wing aircraft. They wanted a dedicated attack chopper capability. Almost every army worth its name in the World has such a capability. Including our esteemed neighbours to the West.

Something stinks here.
Looks like the dalaals are back in action, now that they have finally managed to get rid of VKS.
And MHA is finally big enough that their contracts mean something. So more waste of national resources there.
