15:20 Ecuadorian Air Force, FAE, disagrees with the version that the Pakistan Press Agency gave about Dhruv helicopters to Ecuador, India bought.
According to this version, the FAE would have sent a message saying that the Indian government was thinking about not buying more helicopters for its high price and poor performance. One of the Dhruv and had an accident.

Reply: At the request of John T. Cortez, president of Sumil CA, represented in Ecuador Hindustan Aeronautics
Let me address this communication to express my dissatisfaction and discomfort for the tip appeared in reference to comercio.com Dhruv helicopters, manufactured in India, that are being used with complete satisfaction by the sr. President of the Republic and Ecuador's Air Force.
The article mentions as an information base to have a news agency of Pakistan, a situation that in no way warrants the considerable base credible and true. On the other hand contains a series of false statements only intended to discredit an internationally renowned company and the Ecuadorian authorities.
I am surprised that a newspaper in the history of El Comercio newspaper can play without verification of any kind, baseless information, unsigned responsibility and who knows what purposes.
I have the conviction that behind this there is a purpose-driven shady people interested only in damage and discredit the good name of the company and its product HAL, the Dhruv helicopter, and institutions of the Ecuadorian state.
Very strongly request that you make room in your newspaper to this paper claims, and further requests the Government you start investigations to
clarify aspects of the case.
