but most importantly is what he said true? is it really 870% more expensive for similar boats?

oh so the boat we bought is better because we have warranty, spare parts, technicians, manual guide and stuff..

Indian Light Combat Helicopter to be On Display At Aero India 2011



The Light Combat Helicopter (LCH) developed by HAL and due for induction into the Indian Air Force by 2012-13, will make its first flight during Aero India from February 9 to 13. Its first test flight was in March last year. The second and third flights were in April and May 2010 and as of now, over 20 test flights have checked various parameters. These have paved the way for testing with weapons.

While the first prototype could fly at the air show, the second prototype, which will be weaponized, is expected to be unveiled too. Two more prototypes are under construction. HAL commenced work on the LCH in 2006. The copter is an attack variant of the HAL Dhruv, which has been inducted into the armed forces. The copter was designed using a successful and proven helicopter as the base platform. HAL has tentative orders to deliver 65 LCHs to the IAF and over 100 to the Army.

HAL will also showcase the mock-up of the Light Utility Helicopter (LUH) which is being developed indigenously and the Multirole Transport Aircraft ( MTA) being done in collaboration with Russia. Two Chetak helicopters are expected to be handed over to a Third World country. While export orders are nothing to write home about, there have been occasional purchases by other countries. Chile signed a contract with HAL for about seven Dhruv ALHs.

wait.. mana MIG-35?

india gonna have a rojak  air assets if they choose western plane. Why they dont add more of the su30MKI ?

wait does that MIG-35 have TVC

I heard they suffered severe problems with russians spare and replacement parts. often, russians refurbished the used parts and then branded it as new.

i thought they co-produce (or licensed build ?) those mki in India right ? maybe they just assemble and use more advance parts from russia. where the russian give them bad parts.

MRCA is to replace mig-21s which serve alongside  MKIs,MKIs production line is still open and MKI 'block' 3 is in developement.so they cant buy more MKIs because they need a cheaper aircraft that can be fielded in the masses

same as f16/f15 and f22/f35

didnt the MKI have a 12 year clean record with IAF?only two crashes

lol ranking. maybe the indians want to get a superbug just like us ? but the russian might win as they are more likely to joint venture with  india. Dunno about US and other western plane if they are open to join-venture in building them inside india.

Chengdu J-10 is quite cheap meh..
