good news indeed.

the more you spend, the poorer your people will be. those money could have been better spend to improve your health care/education/roads and etc.

120+ fighters changes nothing, your capital is within our guided rocket's operational range. keep this in mind, that is the most important factors to consider.

there is only choice for india: stop being the neo-nazi in asia, stop fighting with all its neighbor countries.

Bro,

you are on defence forum where topics related to defence are discussed....you always have this poverty, health, sanity, etc to talk about.....if you are sensible to understand what kind of forum is this....then its not expected from you to keep nagging and repeating such things again and again....

we all indians dont have any qualms in accepting that we have our share of poor population ..... but we are progressing economically as well....and they will also get benefited, but it will take some time....

you dont need to come like a circus announcer with your mike and speaker all the time and blowing our ears out with such issues...

you need to focus more on the atrocities which your citizens are facing under the communist rule....

@ fighting thunder

come out of the shell big boy.....talking about people living on footpath in india and comparing their numbers with those living in pakistan will not help you and pakistan...it is a shame for every country where people cant afford house to live in...bottom line is whether the country is trying to improve the conditions of less fortunate...india is trying its bit..hopefully pakistan is also (you know better about the conditions in your country )

this is your only second post, so welcome and keep your eyes open ...its a great forum and dont let your hate towards india come in between you having some fruitful discussion..

Indian AF To Buy 12 AgustaWestland AW101 Helos - Defense News

 

[Luftwaffe]

indian members i found this...what are the designations of this planes?

 

[Trichy]

indian members i found this...what are the designations of this planes?

the right one is looks like old MiG-27

 

[sancho]

indian members i found this...what are the designations of this planes?

This is what I could find out, the left one is a model of the BAE P106B, a cranked delta wing design with canards, which was proposed to HAL/NAL in the early stage of LCA development. It was offered at the same time to Saab too, which used this influence to develop the Gripen. HAL rejected this design, because they couldn't find enough advantages especially of the canards and moved on with the actual design. Maybe the increase of RCS that the canards causes was one reason, because the LCA is designed with a very low RCS in mind (small size, high ammount of composites).

The right one is the HAL HF 73, a prototype of a strike fighter developed after the Marut. HAL build even a flying prototype, but the program was cancelled after a crash.

Indian helicopter deal saves 4,000 jobs in UK

The jobs of up to 4,000 UK workers were secured when AgustaWestland revealed that it had won a 560 million (£510 million) contract to supply helicopters to India.


Westland will build 12 AW101s for the Indian Air Force, which will be used for transporting the countrys Prime Minister, President and other VIPs.


The helicopters, called Merlins by the British Armed Forces, will be built at Westlands factory in Yeovil and the contract is a boost for the struggling programme. The government said last December that it would scrap a long-term plan to buy up to 70 medium-lift helicopters for the Armed Forces and instead purchase 22 Chinooks from Boeing. The Merlin had been a favourite to win the Ministry of Defence (MoD) order and the cancellation had raised questions over the future of the Yeovil facility.


Westland is building 62 smaller Wildcat helicopters as part of a £1 billion contract with the MoD, but it now needs export orders to keep the AW101 production line open. Defence officials had raised the prospect of it becoming little more than a repair shop for the UKs existing fleet of helicopters if such orders could not be won.


Howard Wheeldon, strategist at BGC Partners, the broker, said: "This is very good news for British jobs, not just at Westland but thousands of suppliers in this country. And this is potentially only the start of a relationship with India as they could take more 101s."


Westland has built 70 Merlins for the UK and has won orders to supply Portugal and Denmark. The factory is also building AW101 helicopters for Italy and other, unnamed, countries.


The AW101 had been selected to replace the ageing fleet of US presidential helicopters, but the deal was scrapped last year amid rising costs. Westland hopes to rejoin the running for that contract, where it is likely go up against Sikorskys S92, the helicopter it was competing against in India.


The Indian deal comes as AgustaWestland strengthens its ties with the country. Last month it signed a partnership with Tata & Sons, which owns Jaguar Land Rover, to build its AW119 helicopter in India.
