Maybe because HAL is the only aircraft manufacturer in India producing hundreds upon hundreds of aircraft for the Indian forces to name but a few
ALH
Cheetah/l
Chetak/n
Do-228
Su-30MKI
Jaguar
MiG-21
MiG-27
Hawk AJT
Avro
So when a military aircraft goes down in India it is likely to have been made by HAL,does correlation equal causation?
If there is felt to be cause to ground them that will be done but grounding for the sake of grounding will do no good.
Not really.
This is just ToI being ToI (i.e. sensationalist idiots)
The ALH remains an incredibly safe aircraft with an exceptional safety record inside India and around the world (Ecuador being a notable exception to this).
Why exactly? The ALH is in service in the hundreds in India and is performing well. Let's not jump to knee-jerk reactions. In aviation most crashes these days are due to pilot error but one mustn't jump to conclusions, rest a assured a full and proper investigation will be carried out by the IA.
We don't even know what the problem is if there even is one. Before we go and malign this highly successful project can we wait until the proper investigations have taken place?
The ALH is in service in the hundreds of units and the fleet as a whole has logged millions of flight hours not to mention being in service with the Sarang helicopter display team, inherent faults with the design would have shown themselves by now. You don't do what the Sarang team does with their birds in unsafe machines.
What are you talking about? The issue with Ecuador (if there even is one beyond the EAF's training or lack thereof) doesn't necessarily translate to the ALH fleet as a whole.
