Meaning what? Are we going to describe everybody with views contrary to ours a traitor?

 

[Nishan_101]

So it will be like a regular Army with an Aviation wing.

Darn they closed the production line for harriers. It would have been a great addition to the Army aviation wing.

It has had an aviation wing for decades. This is an expansion of scope and function.

Going by what one sees of that somebody's posts, it won't take much for that somebody to become a sellout.

No Sir, but when a person is so blind to put one's expression of happiness, from a terrorIst getting killed, in the same category of Sati system as a Hindu evil then there is some doubt about the persons loyalty...

If you observe carefully, she is as harsh on issues on the Pakistani side of the balance sheet as she is on the Indian side.

I could not clearly understand your post. What is the reference to a terrorist getting killed? And what is the reference to the Sati system?

plz stop doubting AJTR

Stick to the thread people.

So are the people in BAE ready to give off their ToT to India for harriers and can Kaveri K9 be used for powering the Harriers? Or should we join hands with Russia to revive the YAK-141 Freestyler project?

A SVTOL aircraft brings a lot of options on the table because of it's versatility in the weapons payload and ability to resupply itself just about anywhere.

The Harrier is a very good platform and is a proven aircraft in CAS roles still preferred by the Marines during Initial thrusts. And along with a Radar can also take care of itself. This is proven by our Navy during their exercises. And it can also carry a dedcent payload and perform SEAD missions.

But the down point is Harriers are the most complex aircraft ever to be operated and has a very high crash rate during peace times and is a 60's design.

So lets debate on what Fixed wing aircraft must the army have (our wet dreams)

Transport:- C 130 and C-27J
CAS:- Harrier
Heavy attack Helo:- Apache/KA-52
Heavylift helo:- CH 47B

Regarding the Harrier, reviving it is a non-starter. BAe are struggling with the Hawk revival, there is NO hope of their getting around the older line. We are better off looking at other options, which are practically available.

Neither the Warthog nor the Frogfoot is practically available. The Americans do not sell the A10; the SU 25 may or may not be in production at the moment. That leaves us with a wide open space for the CAS aircraft.

Secondly,there is considerable interest in heavy and light attack helicopters. The first question to ask ourselves is - who does what?

Well Boeing still makes it and the maintainance is supposed to go on till the plant starts making the F-35B. But most of the tooling is supplied by BAe systems. So I think reviving the Harrier still has hope to it.
