Ministry of Defence: Contracts for purchase of 15 ‪Chinook‬ and 22 ‪Apache‬ Helicopters signed

[sathya]

Apache will be used along with many other ground asserts with anti aircraft missiles and tripleA guns as well other than covert operations and wartime special mission needs


Except Bramos A we would expect all to be completed as planned before December

I am looking forward to nirbhay and Sp 2 tejas, ..

..what 15 Chinooks ??
Its too less..
When is the Kamov comming through

we dont want more chinooks we want more apache

Apache purchase is actually a replacement for our aging mi 35s,22 Apaches are replacing 20 or so mi 35s so it is highly unlikely that we will go for more Apaches.

already army has given formal request to mod for around 40 apache ,so in coming time we will see more of them coming

sunny paaji made mince meat of an entire pakistani tank brigade just with a bazooka and some hand grenades.
wonder what he could with an Apache and hell fire missiles. defeat the Red Army perhaps

and think what more if sunny paji drive this monster

i know about ,these mi-35 are going to be transferred to army , as army already given request for 39 apache in previous year.

Then I will call it as a waste of money, I know 22 nos is way too small but 70 is totally unnecessary purchase.
