That's exactly what could have happened to the BSF which is looking to acquire two transport aircraft in a 300 million dollar deal.
It now turns out that specifications of key equipment on the aircraft were changed and backed by forged signatures of Indian Air Force officials.
If the aircraft were acquired India would have ended up getting outdated equipment instead of some of the state of the art systems that the BSF wanted.
The documents relate to purchase of two transport planes for BSF from a Spanish firm.
The Change in crucial technical documents was noticed by BSF during last round of negotiations.
The specifications of key safety equipment like emergency location radars were changed.
The Air Force is conducting an inquiry into the incident. The matter may be handed over to CBI.
if i may say so that its a clear example of inter rivalry Airforce pissed off that BSF is acquiring its own transport plane...
