So reports are coming that Airbus offers Panther to #IndianNavy on lease. Personally for NUH role I don't want to go for anything other than Dhruv Navy . Panther platform is much older. And if we have to import should be new, what will be credible for next several decades

Airbus in talks with Indian Navy to lease out Panther helicopters
The Navy has been desperate to replace its Chetak helicopters of 1960s vintage with NUH but the procurement process for 111 such choppers has been stuck.
Bengaluru: European Aviation giant Airbus is in talks with the Indian Navy to lease out Panther helicopters for its warships as the force looks at bridging the capability gap it faces when it comes to the rotary wing, Rémi Maillard, president of Airbus India and the company’s managing director for South Asia, told ThePrint.
The development comes as the nearly $3 billion plan to procure 111 Naval Utility Helicopters (NUH) staggers on due to multiple reasons.
“We are ready to offer leasing options and this is an excellent opportunity to meet the short-term immediate operational requirements, especially in the Indian Ocean. We believe there is a capability gap in the Indian Ocean Region and we would be delighted to offer our helicopters to the Indian Navy,” Maillard told ThePrint in an interview at Aero India 2021.
The Narendra Modi government has allowed the armed forces to procure military equipment on lease under the Defence Acquisition Procedure (DAP) 2020.
Airbus is also likely to lease out two A330 multi-role tanker transport (MRTT) to the IAF.
Asked if leasing makes sense for an armed force, Maillard said it does, complementary to the procurement process. “The advantage of leasing is that you can quickly access the capability. Many countries are doing that. We provide leasing capabilities as well,” he added.
Asked about the numbers being talked about for leasing of the choppers, he said talks have not moved to that stage yet.
“We have not received the RFP (Request for Proposal), but we are very keen on supporting the Navy. We are in talks with the Navy, we have an excellent relationship with the Navy, and we have already discussed about this leasing opportunity,” the top Airbus official said.
‘Leasing the initial step’
The AS565 MBe naval version of Airbus’ Panther family of helicopters is an all-weather, multi-role medium rotorcraft, designed for operations from ship decks, offshore locations and land-based sites.
The aircraft is made for a multitude of naval and coast guard missions such as maritime surveillance, search and rescue, casualty evacuation, offshore patrolling and counter-terrorism.
The Navy has been desperate to replace its Chetak helicopters of 1960s vintage with NUHs.
The NUHs are to be utilised for multiple roles, including search and rescue, casualty evacuation and low-intensity maritime operations, besides torpedo drops.
There has been a push from the HAL to include its helicopter as one of the contenders for the Naval contract, but the proposal has met with resistance from the Navy.
The leasing of the Panthers comes even as the French government and Airbus have offered to set up an assembly line for the helicopter in India.
“Leasing is the initial step. We remain committed to the defence procurement process but we are also keen on offering a leasing opportunity to meet the operational requirement in the meantime,” Maillard said.
On the verge of getting defence contracts
The Airbus, which has had a presence in India for over five decades, has not bagged any major defence contract in years.
However, this could change as India is likely to sign a deal with Airbus for the manufacturing of C295 transport aircraft as a replacement for the IAF’s Avro fleet.
“It is correct that we did not get any contract recently. But our relationship goes back to 50 years ago when we had cooperation with the HAL (Hindustan Aeronautics Limited) for Cheetah and Chetak helicopters. We have had a good relationship with Indian partners and forces,” Maillard said.
Talking about the campaigns ahead, he said the first was the C295, which “can be a gamechanger for India, the IAF and Airbus”. “This is because that will be first final assembly line of an aircraft in India,” he added.
“The demand is for 56 aircraft. The first 16 would be assembled at the Airbus facility in Spain. The rest 40 will be manufactured, assembled and tested and maintained in India with our partner TATA. We believe we will be the trigger to develop a total aerospace ecosystem in India,” he said.
The Airbus executive said the project will create “15,000 skilled jobs in India”.
“C295 is the capability that the IAF requires. It is versatile, reliable and a combat-proven platform. We are hopeful that we will be able to sign this contract and start our partnership with TATA and also start construction of Indian assembly line,” he added.
Maillard said Airbus has made a competing offer — “a very attractive offer” — to the Union Ministry of Defence.
“It makes a lot of sense for India, for the IAF… I am hopeful that it will go through soon. I am positive, I am optimistic and I know it is for the best,” he said.

And how's that not old ?
Panther built in India with production line here ain't a bad deal.
But I think HAL is mature enough to bring a new cleansheet design for navy that can not only act as NUH but also act as Romeo replacement in future.
Not a 'development' as such, but an awful story- sailor kidnapped in Chennai, brutally murdered in MH. Hope these monsters get their just desserts.

Theatre level Operational Readiness exercise (Tropex 21) Indian Navy’s largest War Game
Posted On: 10 FEB 2021 3:56PM by PIB Delhi
Indian Navy’s largest war game – the biennial Theatre Level Operational Readiness Exercise (TROPEX 21) - which commenced in early January, is currently underway with participation of all operational units of Indian Navy including ships, submarines, aircraft as well as units of the Indian Army, Indian Air Force and Coast Guard. The exercise will culminate by third week of February.
The exercise is being conducted over a vast geographical expanse in the Indian Ocean Region including its adjunct waters and is aimed at testing combat readiness of the Navy in a complex multi-dimensional scenario set in the context of the current geo strategic environment. The Theatre Level exercise also aims to validate Navy’s offensive-defence capabilities, safeguard national interests in the maritime domain and promote stability and peace in the Indian Ocean Region. Conduct of TROPEX is being overseen by Naval Headquarters with participation from all three Commands of the Indian Navy and the Tri-Services Command at Port Blair.
TROPEX is being progressed over distinct phases that also test the Navy's transition from peacetime to hostilities. In the first phase, the Indian Navy had conducted coastal defence exercise ‘Sea Vigil’along the entire coastline and Island territories of India on 12-13January 2021. This exercise aimed to validate the coastal defence setup of the country, which was entirely revamped after the 26/11 Terror attacks at Mumbai. The exercise witnessed large-scale participation from Indian Navy, Coast Guard, Marine Police of 13coastal States and Union Territories along with other stakeholders in the maritime domain. Valuable lessons emerging from the exercise are being incorporated in the existing procedures to further fine-tune the coastal defence architecture of the country.
Exercise Sea Vigil was followed by a large-scale Tri-Service joint amphibious exercise AMPHEX-21, which was conducted in the Andaman and Nicobar group of Islands from 21-25 January. The amphibious exercise was aimed at validating India’s capabilities to safeguard the territorial integrity of its Island territories and enhance operational synergy and joint warfighting capabilities amongst the three Services.
The Weapon Workup Phase of TROPEX, which concluded recently, witnessed multiple ‘on-target’ ordnance deliveries including missiles, torpedoes and rockets from frontline warships, aircraft and submarines and demonstrated the lethal firepower of the Indian Navy and reaffirm the Navy’s capability to carry out long range maritime strikes in the Indian Ocean Region, a capability that is central to meeting operational challenges and ensuring safe seas and secure coasts.
This large scale Theatre Level Exercise puts to test and validate Navy’s Concept of Operations in various conflict scenarios, hone its warfighting skills, bolster its role towards maritime security in the wider Indian Ocean Region and is in keeping with the theme of being a ‘Combat Ready, Credible and Cohesive force’.
