You just know how to abuse others. I wonder you even read before commenting...
It seems your life has started since 2009. I have never said IAF should not import when necessary. Had I said anything about Hawk procurement??No! Had I said against initial 100 Platus jet?? No! If you can't read then...
I know we import 65% weapon from outside.... Import will be there next 20 years but my objection to IAF is that they are not only unsupportive to indigenous projects but also actively tried to sabotage each and every indigenous project.
So IAF was behaving like typical rich girlfriend "You broke my pinky promise I will not talk to you, Never believe in you, deleting your number, will never buy your aircraft again, Kattieeee
What time are you taking about?? When they promised and failed?? Or you are talking about Sitara/ HJT-36...
What is air force credibility then?? It is not possible to HAL readied the product even before IAF think about it. IAF need to sit together with the developmental agency rather than showing arrogance.
If you can remember HTT-40 was an orphan project then Air chief openly denounced the program...
Nothing against IAF but fact remains
Platus got blacklisted so poor chief left with no option. Just check IAF statements ( source did not want to be named ) on HTT-40 before black listing of Platus
Furthermore, it can not fire BVR missiles, can't fire rockets, can't carry 500kg bombs, short-range, can't carry Gatling gun, no Jammer, Can't stay in the air while engine is off...... basically its world war era ++ trainer. pathetic must rejected
Oh my god, Air chief must be feeling palpitation in his chest.... Too much for this week. Akash, LAC, LCH and now this?? No more Platus ??
Don't worry IAF will active their paid, dalaal journlists to curse HAL. Or they will wait till Platus is out of black list
All test shall be cleared end of this year.....
Btw.. why HAL ask to ADA for a help.? I think it will be better to be late then begging for help to arrogant big aeronautical companies
