Kunal, Is there any way to know: - Where all are the Army's aviation fleet sent for maintenance, repair and overhaul? - Places where these facilities are present? - How much does Army spend annually on maintenance of its aviation wing?

I'd be really happier if they could focus on getting the HAL Dhruv gunship ASAP before considering fixed wing fighters and bruising IAF's ego. Besides, fixed wing jets are ALWAYS with any nation's air force. Gunships are fine with Army aviation. However, fixed wing jets are to be retained with...

The thread has little relevance as IAF has no plans to buy these and first of all, US has no plans to sell these to us. Secondly, the aerial assets unless and until in danger, will not push IAF to use them against Maoists. Mods, please close this thread.

Let's be realistic guys. No fixed wing attack aircraft will ever be inducted into the Army Aviation. Anything to do with attacking and fixed wing is IAF's job and I am sure Naik will do his last nut to pressure the MOD out of any such thoughts. The IAF as such as has a very small theatre of...

Army Aviation is planning its own transport wing with more Dhruvs and fixed wing planes. I agree that mainly soldiers need transportation but IAF maintains transport division as a evacuation and relief supplying asset as well. Even the Dhruv attack helos is more ordered by Army (around 110)...

Naik will get a heart attack if that is done.:lol:. Getting serious, I think that IAF should have only transport helicopters for troop deployments, evacuation and disaster relief while all the attack helos should go to IA since IA is likely to use the gunships for CAS in the theater. The reason...

Kunal, I understand that IA thought of getting a dedicated CAS wing for itself but that is where IAF becomes redundant in any war in such a case. The whole purpose of IAF is to provide air cover, dominate air space and maintain air superiority over Indian airspace, denying enemy any aerial...

We don't need a mini AF for Army. Though the Army aviation must be expanded with Dhruv gunships and that's what is the plan. LCH's biggest customer is not IAF but IA; 116 units of first batch ordered as compared to 70 of IAF. This means that Army aviation is expanding. :)

Shaka, then why are Maoists blowing up railways, transport system, roads etc? If they want development, what will blowing up do? Your arguments are getting shallower for supporting Maoists. Thousands of women have become widows as their husbands have been blown to bits. Communist scum is easy to...

American jet with a Sinophile Obama in White House? LOL! Not a chance! Their technology denial regimes are too strong and therefore we cannot risk it.
