Tata Boeing Aerospace Hyderabad facility delivers first AH-64 Apache fuselage

[MimophantSlayer]

Lols why feel burn...US gave you donkey work while all major parts, censors, engines still US made....go happy donkey but you will not get the carrot you are looking for.

For now.

You lot have been operating Cobras for over 30 years, how much of the Cobras do you make?
You literally got nothing out of those deals.

It'll be AMCA modules soon.

Indeed, first L&T's speedy production of K-9 Vajras and now TATA.
Giving AMCA manufacturing to private companies, circumventing going through HAL was a good choice.

It's hilarious to even imagine the burns of our neighbors
We can see how fast they react when the news is against India !!!
Now they are hiding somewhere cursing us they never show up when the news is about Indian acheivements



Bro soon you will see some lost soul neighbor claiming that Apaches are useless and they have terrible performance!!!

But why are you after US equipment when you have LAH

But why are you after US equipment when you have LAH

Why not? If US equipment is good and available at affordable pricing we will buy them.

It's LCH btw. And why do you think we will stop our production of Helos when we are buying from other countries. We can learn from flying other helos.

If the country of manufacture is Pakistan then we would have seen at least 200 likes to this thread.

You know my dear, Boeing doesn't induct any Pakistani origin man/woman as employee or in any other capacity?
USA has imposed an indirect war on us...

Apache is better.
Hell it might just be the best attack helicopter platform in the world so why shouldn't we pursue American products?

When our HTSE-1200 turboshaft is ready, maybe then LCHs may just come close to the Apaches.

Thats not indirect war. SpaceX doesnt recruit anything other than American. Its IP protection.

Aerospace India Ltd. has begun delivery of combat helicopter fuselage from its manufacturing facility in Hyderabad.

Announcing that the delivery was made ahead of schedule, the company said that it had come within a year of the aerospace joint venture facility becoming operational. The fuselage is to be transported to manufacturing facility for integration into the final assembly line.

Union Minister of Defence Nirmala Sitharaman had inaugurated the facility, located in Adibatla, on the outskirts of Hyderabad, in March this year. It is spread over 14,000 square metres, and at full production, employs 350 skilled workers.

The facility is the sole global producer of fuselages for helicopter delivered to its global customers. The facility would also produce secondary structures and vertical spar boxes for the multi-role combat helicopter. Describing the delivery as “a major step forward in Advanced Systems’ commitment to make advanced, high quality aero structures,” Aerospace India Ltd. officials said that co-development of integrated systems in aerospace and defence was one of the future opportunities that the joint venture would look at.

‘Big boost’

“The delivery of the fuselage within a year of the facility becoming operational is a big boost to indigenous manufacturing and also demonstrates our commitment to deliver high quality products within a short span of time,” said Aerospace India Ltd. officials

Aerospace India Ltd. is first equity JV in India from a 2015 partnership agreement with TASL. Construction of the manufacturing facility began in 2016 and was completed a year later. Aerospace India Ltd. and TASL have worked closely to develop a pool of highly skilled aerospace talent through skill development initiatives.

US Defense Industries and Indian Defense industries will work on more bigger projects which would be for arming, upgrading of allied forces with latest equipment and to keep the enemy out of our nations. but this doesnt means that upgrading of any allied forces doesnt means that the allied forces are not having any Defense technical industrial base for example Islamic Republic of Afghanistan and Republic of Iraq are having industrial base in production of tanks and even artillery systems.

Possibilities of Joint ventures between US and Indian Defense Industries will even have LEMOA stands for Logistics Exchange Memorandum of Agreement (LEMOA) specific version of the Logistics Support Agreement (LSA), which the U.S. has with several countries it has close military to military cooperation.

Yes I meant LCH. Typo sorry.
Yes apache is an amazing machine. The American problems that come with tech transfers or military hardware look like about to be repeated by India just as we are getting rid of Americans

 

[Mustang06]

Different purposes altogether. LCH as the name suggests is a light helicopter meant for high altitude areas whereas Apaches will be heavy chopper meant for destroying enemy armor in the plains of Punjab and rajasthan.

What the hell is LEH??
I think you are talking about LCH?
first of all as the name suggests it's a light combat helicopter,and Apache is heavy
Apache is meant to replace our good old MI35 helos
Lch was designed to fight a mountain war it can fight in any high altitude terrain ,even in siachin

Yes I meant LCH. Typo sorry.
Yes apache is an amazing machine. The American problems that come with tech transfers or military hardware look like about to be repeated by India just as we are getting rid of Americans

You don't understand Tata Boeing Hyderabad is the sole manufacturer of fuselage of Apaches in the whole world!!
We will get to learn a lot and gain firsthand experience in this field
Plus Indian private sector is amazingly productive and fast in absorbing technology
Unlike the government sector!

Plus Indian private sector is amazingly productive and fast in absorbing technology

As its Indian made combat helicopter, fuselage are produced at manufacturing facility in Hyderabad.

Inside Indian Private Defense Sector , Real stakeholders are the Indian Defense Industries of Indian Establishment. Tenders are being issued by the Indian Defense Industries and ToT is being transfered by the Indian Defense Industry to the Indian Private defense Industry which is there to expand the Industrial base of Indian nation but in this Indian Private defense industry doesnt have much and are being monitored by Indian Military Intelligence Agencies and these Indian Private Defense Industries cant sign any defense agreement with any country without the approval of Indian Establishment.

After signing BECA and COMCASA which we will heavily edit like we did with LEMOA before signing that, tech transfers and integration will become far easier.

Sorry to have ruined a nice thread
I got carried away !

@Sully3
Our pilots may or may not crash them ,but the point is that we have the best attack helicopters in the world!
And wishing that we will crash them is just funny
And do you seriously belive that 80% Indians are surviving on charity food?? Do you even know the population of India? I mean you need to get your facts right.

Plus bakharwal are pro India!
And I don't think she was raped in the temple because it stays open throughout the day for worshippers and a priest is always there
Some guy reported the news and because it's against us you choose to believe it
News like this are being circulated on a daily basis and the worst kind of news are readily accepted!!
