These jokers are just making things up now. After 100 more LCA MK1A and 6 more NETRA MK1, this same guy comes out with this?





Even this article makes no sense, the numbers are totally different to the IA+IAF breakdown before and it goes between IAF buying 156 to split order.





This guy is clearly a mouthpiece for the MoD and he’s being fed utter crap whilst the ministry sits idle

But wasnt the 100 lca confirmed by the CAS?

Lol dude, take your COPING somewhere else, the CAS himself confirmed that IAF has moved a propsal to order 100 additional Tejas Mk1A.

Where’s the AON? RFI? RFQ? CCS? CAS can say whatever he likes, these guys all make a lot of noise. Contracts are all that matter

Like the CAS said they have moved a "proposal", that means the process for AON RFI RFQ , etc is going on and will come out in due time, which by our standards so far could mean years maybe

3-4 years before a contract at best

something is better than nothing i guess

Not sure we should take tension on future mk1a orders when the 1st production mk1a is yet to be seen from an existing order .

Indian Air Force to place order for 156 Prachand Light Attach helicopters

 

[FalconSlayers]

156 LCH to be bought by IAF alone, taking total orders to 181.

156 LCH to be bought by IAF alone, taking total orders to 181.

Why does the IAF need attack helicopters

 

[FalconSlayers]

Why does the IAF need attack helicopters

Same reason for which they needed almost a lakh AK-203s

Jokes aside, hope this doesn't cause another Apache like situation where army is forced to buy more for no reason.

181 ?
U added lsp?

 

[jai jaganath]

156 LCH to be bought by IAF alone, taking total orders to 181.

So basically earlier report of 156 lch to split between army and iaf was incorrect
Then what's army's requirement I mean how much nos does army want

30M $ for each SuperSukhoi upgrade.
Good deal.

BUT WAIT A MINUTE.

The LCA Mark1A alone is supposed to be worth over Rs 1.2 lakh crore,
senior defence officials told ANI.

WTF. 15B$ . I hope those officials were just pulling random numbers.

With all weaponry and other packages included I guess, no way it'll be ₹1200 crore per aircraft.

Training, back-end support and logistical costs considered, this is a fair deal. Remember, this will be the overall calculated cost for a rolling period.

Looking forward to army ordering six LCH for a billion dollars.

We didn't buy bare-bones AC in 2021 too, lots of logistics and misc cost were included , yet it was priced only 70M$ with rolling inflation included.

The deal for 83 Tejas Mk1A itself was worth $6.5 billion, now factoring in inflation and the cost of procuring 100 Tejas Mk1A along with weaponry, associated logsitics, spares, etc. the deal will easily be around $8-8.5 billion.

So, $15 billion in total for 183 jets

Ah.. i didn't factor into that it could be combined cost.
