First of all, it is a boon when you place small order instead of one big order. It should be small repeated orders which any manufacturer or user like instead of one huge order.
That's one giant load of bullcrap, small repeated orders are good, How exactly ?
Oh let me guess, By keeping the suppliers second guessing if the next order is ever going to come or not so he decides to not invest money in making an upgrade to the product or production line (bcz he fears his investment is going to fail)
(This is exactly the reason screwdriver giri is so popular in Indian MIC)
LSP has been ordered for Prachand which is undergoing usage and trials in various exercises.
It has been 12 years since it's first flight, T 129 also had its first flight around the same time and there are nearly 80 in service right now, but go on tell me why is LCH is still in testing and why was LSP ordered so late even though On 26 August 2017, Defence Minister Arun Jaitley formally inaugurated
full-scale production of the LCH.
So forces are basically making their strategy around Prachand only after which they would know how many units would be there per squadron and how many squadrons of it would be required.
Sounds like Copium to me.
I wonder how does this process works with imported items, because this bak*hodi of piece meal order to form "StRaTeGy" doesn't seem to happen with imported items.
How did IAF know it wanted 126 aircraft in MMRCA deal, how was the "StRaTeGy" formed then.
How do you not know how many aircraft you need, I mean I understand the maximum number can not be guessed but how do you not know your own minimum requirement, why was the number of 114 LCH being kept thrown around then.
The only way you are not sure of the minimum number is when you are not even sure you need the platform in the first place which was not the case with LCH
