Where does the main responsibility for purchase process lie now MoD or armed forces ?<br /><br />Your blog should cover when will the armed forces get delivery, rest process is internal issues.<br /><br />NMRH and NUH are vey much delayed and like fighters, IAF LUH and assault rifles entered never ending RFI/RFI cycle for some reason. <br /><br />It means NMRH will enter IN service earliest 2022-23. NUH with SP could be 2027-2028. This depends on factory load ?<br />Are these times good enough ? <br /> Rafale was promised early, but Egypt and Qatar decided before us and are ahead in the Queue. MoD needs to act fast is it not ? <br /><br />ATAGS is a good move to start early.<br />For ATAGS hope IA place indent for all numbers with advance (all PSU get advance is it not ?) to kalyani/tata at the earliest.<br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
