Lucknow: In an embarrassment for the Yogi Adityanath government, its posters welcoming delegates to the five-day DefExpo 2020 in Lucknow feature as a ‘Make in India’ showcase a helicopter that Turkey has made for its close ally Pakistan.

The Uttar Pradesh capital is hosting India’s biennial defence exhibition starting Wednesday.


The pictures are of the T-129 two-seater attack helicopter — manufactured by Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) in collaboration with Italian-British AgustaWestland. To make matters worse for the UP government, the helicopter in the picture even has a Turkish flag on it.

Asked about the gaffe, an official said on condition of anonymity, “The poster has not been put by the Ministry of Defence but by the UP government.”

Lucknow, which is the constituency of Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, is set to host Prime Minister Narendra Modi, several Union ministers, CEOs of defence companies, diplomats, among others, for the event.
