What message do we convey when we go for foreign maal.
If we are to build a local industry then our leaders and IAF top brass should put their trust in Desi products.

If it is so great, why did Aviators sign for 50 French helicopters? Shouldn't they be supporting homegrown products?

The US Army doesn't use the Mi-17. It is on order for the Afghans so the US can stay on good terms with Russkies to keep open supply lines. It really does need certification if it ever wants to be sold to the West. It is a budget helo designed for developing countries that don't care about safety. It is perfect for Indian VIPs you want dead.
So far it has the mode of air travel for Indian VVIPs and none died.... tragically.

It is the mode of travel with only 3 Hips in VIP configuration? Most of the dead VIPs are killed in Bell helos. Too poor to afford an Mi-17. :lol:

May be in India no VIPs have died but many VIPs died abroad in several incidents and there are a number of accident history to mark the bird black ,, still I must say crash or accidents dont compromise a birds capability,,,,,,
