IAF planning to lease airborne early warning aircraft to plug capability gaps
The Indian Air Force (IAF) plans to lease airborne early warning aircraft to plug capability gaps. The leased aircraft are to be used until the IAF gets new planes from indigenous sources.www.indiatoday.in
not tracking soko, but incidentally yesterday a thought occurred whether obama's plan of diversifying military production among murican allies is taking shape on the ground. and more importantly what is the end game of this particular policy.@ezsasa are you looking at south korea def exports?. This year they sold $17billion, last year $7B, before that $3B. Time to keep track of their def expansion. Wion did some good research videos recently. Their president also announced def export policy. Many possible buyers too in queue.
One thing they promised is Strict On-time delivery which is attracting many countries.
MIC and DC is ok with SK def exports because it contains lot of US parts, IP royalties and SK is always in US grip. I will expect no hurdles as policy makers are cool with it. moreover MIC did not write a single article against SK def exports.not tracking soko, but incidentally yesterday a thought occurred whether obama's plan of diversifying military production among murican allies is taking shape on the ground. and more importantly what is the end game of this particular policy.
copy the latest post and strike them off if you have the data.You left a lot of items uncrossed even though delivery were completed. For instance, the delivery of the 36 Rafales have been completed. The Ocean Surveillance ship has been completed. The delivery of the 4 P-8I Neptune has been completed. Etc. the list goes on.
