It means what it says. Hellfire's of the opinion WhAPs are not going to come coz of 2 issues - the possible induction of Stryker & DRDO pushing for upgrade of the BMP . Right now it seems he was right given the recent contract signed between AVNL & the IA.
So pathetic man. This frustrates me alot..
There is so much exports potential in whap. Such a great product.. with different kinds of turret it would have been way better than striker.. the only reason I find usa pushing so much is because it will provide spare & mro to then in the close vicinity to future conflict zone.. they can't be so desperate for a 40crore.
Total contract won't even cross 2 billions...
Anyways crpf's 200 kestral orders are confirmed. Mahindra got betrayed.
How will our private players be interested in defence then..
Striker is inferior,
now they are making it amphibious for us. It shall not create trouble. As it was not designed to be amphibious.
They are replacing engine with more powerful one. No more underpowered..
We will never see whap/kestral with 30mm & 105mm in production.
