Chiefs retire, sir.

The risk is somewhat along the lines of - Nayee Sarkaar, nayee soch

Would love to have a line-up of successive chiefs making 'Made in India' their mantra and their legacy.

This will enable the MIC to put roots. Once that trunk comes up and a lot of people begin to enjoy it's fruits and shade then it will be very tough to change (they will lobby the politicians, the babus, the military, the journos... all of them... and not just in India :D )

The ex-test pilot is Wing Commander Unni Krishna Pillai (retd).

VIDEO: https://x.com/Sputnik_India/status/1805244684991938957 ---> Ex-Test pilot explains what makes Prachand choppers special:

• Equipped with cutting-edge sensors, electro-optical devices, and laser range finders, the Prachand ensures precise target acquisition both day and night.

• The Prachand features a chin-mounted machine gun that aligns with the pilot’s helmet, ideal for targeting concealed threats.

• Designed to excel in high-altitude and rugged terrains, like the #Himalayas, the Prachand is ideal for missions where fighter jets are less effective.

Which EW suite will be used for initial batches?

Indigenous EW at least 3-years away.

Imagine instead of Cheetah, it was LUH :twisted:

That would have been the first where make up consisted of 100% indigenous platforms.

And in the background, Mi-17 replaced by IMRH!

Thankfully, this will be a reality in less than a decade. One of the areas where we have broken our import dependence. How sustained progress over decades build capability. Sustaining is the tough part
