The problem makers are at MOD and high brass with high egos, IAF in perticular ..

Well, The engines for Cheetah and Cheetak are french only Dhruv MK3 gets Indian made once ..

So, Spare and engines are always imported from french ..

looks like HAL and IAF are Jaani Dushmans,

either they have serious contentions among them or the PR of HAL sucks in managing IAF.

my question is do france gets royalties in these LUH (my opinion is they do get some), if that's so then we cant rule out corruption at high places.

No, Its inferior as its service ceiling is way to low than Cheetha, PA use lama which is an equvallent of cheetah for such locations ..

Siachen is a large place, We have Siachen training center where MI-17 can land so does other copters, But for high altitude only Cheetah and Dhruv are qualified ..

For PA its the same things ..

@sob, @Blackwater, Pakistan don't have jack shit.

The Indian army controls all of the 76 kilometres (47 mi) long Siachen Glacier and all of its tributary glaciers, as well as the three main passes of the Saltoro Ridge immediately west of the glacier—Sia La, Bilafond La, and Gyong La.
The Ghazi army of Pakistan resides south west of the glacier not actually on it. And hence they do not need helicopters for resupplying.
