I think Army aviation should have atleast 300-400 Mi17V5(troop transport), 50-60 Mi26(transferring M777, air defence guns etc.) and 80 Mi28/Apache (For armored regiment)....In addition to this for high altitude areas, the requirement of 116 LCH is good...but considering most of our troubled...
ISRO is the cheapest option to launch a satellite....just like Indian IT sector expanded ecause of cheap and quality services, in the same way ISRO is getting great expansion...soon NASA will also start launching satellites through ISRO....This cost will change dramatically if ISRO gets...
Well article also forgot Akash mk2 (Its also gonna be tested this year or may be next). New BMD interceptor named PDV is also gonna be tested this year and the interceptor of second stage (AD-1,2) to be tested from next year.

In short right now the rate of induction is slower than the rate of retiring aircrafts. In the next 5 year plan it will change and the number of squadron will start increasing towards the sanctioned...
She is talking about the new deals which are gonna be signed, not which have already been signed or which might get signed in the future for eg : 80 units of Apache or follow-on order of 6 and then 4-8 more or 30 CH-47. IAF never place follow-on order until the aircraft enters the service. I am...

Its good news for BEL. Whether they win it or not...finally the project is going to go to BEL only. It will be fun if like elta or thales wins and they decide to join hands with tata or mahindra or lnt and decides to go ahead without BEL ... :yahoo:

I think we need to set up a separate defence entity of ISRO and DRDO which will focus on defence. There are two strong lobbyist of civilian use of space in ISRO, this end up delaying all the defence projects....the dedicated satellites of all the 3 services are delayed, this RISAT 1 is also...
