Indian Air Force take delivery of Global 5000


June 25, 2012

The Indian Air Force have taken delivery of a Global 5000 from Bombardier, from an order originally destined for a Maltese customer.

Arriving at Shannon on Sunday night from St. Louis Downtown, msn 9424 / C-GHVB stayed the night before departing to Tel Aviv the next morning.


It’s unclear if the aircraft is destined for some work with Israel Aerospace Industries in Tel Aviv before final delivery, but it is understood that the Indians have been shopping for a system similar to the Raytheon developed Global Express based Airborne Stand-Off Radar (ASTOR) system deployed by the UK’s Royal Air Force recently in Afghanistan.










What is cooking in Tel Aviv?

what is this plane about?

My Guess is:

Since IAF purchased it from Bombardier which was meant for some other customer and sent it to Israel .......... it will be converted to a platform like a Gulfstream G550 Eitam AEW&C aircraft or Raytheon ASTOR........

Lets see ...........

Crudely put,

AWAC: Primary Role : Air surveillance
Secondary : Area/Ground surveillance

ASTOR: Primary Role: Area/Ground surveillance
Secondary: Air surveillance

No ......... Its an Indian Air Force Plane ...... nothing to do with RAW........

What RAW needs and advanced SIGNIT/ELNIT platform like Nimrod R1 Variant

its for the IAF mate. RnAW have their own air wing , its called the ARC . and they do not publicize when they buy planes.
