Heck I don't even mind a Navalized variant of the Rudra which is good enough for such roles.

Would be great if we could eventually integrate the Helina and Sant missiles on the Apache. Also since these Block 3s have good maritime hardening, would be lovely to have around 36 for IN as well. 3 each could be deployed from the upcoming LPDs (12 in total), INS Vikky (3) and IAC-1(3) and...

Any system ordered in small numbers will inherently expensive. They should have orders for 10-20K Nag and then the cost will fall by another 30%.

15 Chinooks on order with options for 7 more, no doubt those options will be exercised once deliveries begin. Same goes for Apache 22 (IAF) + 6 (IA), IAF's deal also has options for 11 more and IA's order book will eventually reach a total of 39 for sure or more. Total number of Apache...

you mean LCH? The LCH sure will have a higher flight cieling but AH-64 block 3 out guns anything out there for a long time. From Laser guided 70mm rockets to Hellfires, Stingers and over all situational awareness the AH-64 does 3 times more. Besides LCH has a 20 mm canon and Apache the 30 mm...

hmmm This number is too low, we need around 5 squadrons of 22 each,110 helos, thats a better number.

The deal value will exceed over billion hence it will have good amount of offsets. lots of the spares will end up being locally manufactured. The order may be a total of 44 helos, no need for TOT in that area. With LCH we will have a good attack helo with very good capabilities far better than...

aha good question...however, we are ahead of that...we didnt sign the CISMOA which prevents a lot of US made sensitive systems to be put on our birds. Whcih means just like the P-8I, C-17, C-130J...ah-64 too will end up having home made IFF. US made IFF recognise other US made IFF as friend. But...

Looking at the progression of the MRCA, the c-130J, c-17 and now the AH-64, it is quite clear that the IAF has been very professional in its evaluations. Rafale and EF were downlisted because they had the best overall performance and closest in complaince with over 600 parameters evaluated...

it makes no sense to have the expensive PARS LR now, since the Hellfire does all that and much more for a far better price. makes no sense have inventory of PARS LR, Helina and Hellfires, just get Hellfires for LCH as well, no other ATGM is more combat proven, furthermore Hellfire can be...
