Future of India's heavy airlift: IAF mulling modernization of IL-76 & future replacement

[Corvus Splendens]

India now moving to west no Mi 17 no upgrades for Su 30 and AK gun procurement also been put on hold shows USA pressure is working on India I don't know how western tanker refuel Russian su 30 which is Iaf fleet backbone

The IMRH will replace the MI 17 in future

SU30 upgrades will be done in-house. All MKIs are compatible with NATO standard probe-and-drogue. The IL-78 MKI tankers were upgraded in Israel to utilize this standard.

Good but than why India is buying chinooks if indian medium lift halo is in pipeline

 

[Blademaster]

Chinooks is heavy helicopter rated to haul 15 tons externally. Medium lift helos can lift under 10-12 tons.

India may buy further more C 130 Hercules and might go for A 400 as well

A 400 from Airbus suits India more than anything since India already buying C 295 from them for same light weight pupose
