Women Officers Of Indian Air Force

Actually these woman are pilots of IL-76MD..

I doubt that. They may be a pilot of AN-32 but not IL-76

For how long we gonna use surya kiran????

Is it true that llyushin has not come up with successor of IL-76 for the last 40 yrs???

This is very old news..

True...

There was nothing like IL-76 in market until US C-17 showed up in aero india..

then what what is IL-476.
China ordered 76 of them from Rusiia..

It came after C-17 demos in Aero-India..

C-17 are operational where as IL-476 is not..

Remember, IL-476 will have similar spare problems as IL-76MD in IAF..

The major reason India looking at C-17 besides it preform-ace is regular spare supplies and delivery time..

Lady officer pitols of iAF do fly IL -76 MD or for that matter all transport aircraft...
I thought IL-76 was easier to fly than AN - 32 !!

so what are we going to do with with these left Russian Birds!!!
are we gonna retire them!!
IL-76 and Tu-142.... after we getting P-8I and C-17!!!

Use them as long as they are airworthy..

Or sale them..
