Re: Indian Naval Aviation
One would think he C295 would be 1/3rd the cost, given the platform is 1/3rd the price and has less space and power. Hoping they added like a ridiculous 10 year maintenance and that is why the number is out of whack. Hopefully people can ask what the breakout looks like and why it's so expensive.

Re: Airborne Early Warning & Control: News & Discussion
It's flying over Indian territory. 360 is not needed. Front is also not needed. Lots of ground radars can provide it picture. What is needed is the ability to see as deep as possible in the 240 degree set. Hoping they can mount a bigger unit on the A319 and it can accommodate bigger generators if ne...

True, but if you look at how the US defence industry adds an extra price for a widget, it may be possible. Either way, bottom line is that our current approval process takes way too long as it is designed currently.

HAL should themselves add additional planes at the same or somewhat reduced prices in every contract they sign so that price negotiations don't take this long. If there is no change in structure, then it becomes easy.
