Zitat:U.S. Congress Asked to Pre-Approve Apache Block III Sale to India

India is interested in buying 22 AH-64D Block III APACHE Helicopters from the USA. The Defense Security Cooperation Agency has notified Congress on a possible Foreign Military Sale of these helicopters, as part of a package worth about US$1.4 billion. The Indians are evaluating the Block III Apache among several other options for the Air Forces’ next generation attack helicopter. The Indians are also considering the Russian Mil-28N Havoc as an alternative replacement for the Indian Air Force’s Mi-25s. The domestically developed Light Combat Helicopter (LCH) is not an alternative for this program. The Eurocopter Tiger and AgustaWestland A129 Mangusta have been eliminated from the competition at an earlier stage.......

Zitat:.......The package will include 12 AN/APG-78 Longbow Fire Control Radars, 12 AN/APR-48A Radar Frequency Interferometers, 812 AGM-114L-3 HELLFIRE LONGBOW missiles, 542 AGM-114R-3 HELLFIRE II missiles, 245 STINGER Block I-92H missiles, and 23 Modernized Target Acquisition Designation Sight/Pilot Night Vision Sensors, rockets.

Zitat:Unable to make jets, India buys 250 planes from Russia

08. Oct, 2010 15 Comments

Bharat was supposed to have the Tejas as the mainstay of the IAF. However after spending millions on the project the Tejas is still in the design phase. There are rumblings that the GE engine is to be fitted on the obsolete thirty year old mainframe but critics point out that the GE engine is not suitable for the Tejas. The Bharati Kevari engine was supposed to have been fitted into the Tejas but the Kevari was a colossal failure.

Dropping all pretensions of “indigenousness” manufacturing and local production–the IAF has now announced that it will purchase 250 new FGFA (aka PAKFA in Russia) new jets from Moscow. The wordsmithing remains though it is remains in the vernacular.
