[atulya]

i think the name rafael is enough to make fear in the heart of paf and plaaf, and to make worlds one of the best plane it takes time, let china sends their hellicopter to cross lac then see the indian hal's speed........no doubt hal is working harder then their capability...

Great.... This was remaining thing after so much drama.

 

[harpoon]

we need to either privatize or split HAL and DRDO into into another 2 groups. then let them compete among them. also private companies should also be given chance. otherwise this $hit will happen once again. if this situation continues then AMCA will become reality around 2050.

HAL should be split into rotary and fixed aircraft division each having a civilian and military division.

As per latest news emerging in media , MOD will not be able to start negotiations with French manufacturer Dassault to ink the MMRCA L1 bidder Dassault Rafale since HAL has missed the deadline for the filing license production evaluation report.
