Till today ,not a even a single day the lift functioned properly! as mukherjee sahab suggested"A collosal waste of time. Just ask the IAF which aircraft they want and buy it after due negotiations"<br />since the deal is being big, govt to govt negotians are necessary after choosing the suitable a/c by IAF supported by HAL reps and DRDO reps! This way we can stop rubbing salt in all most all major a/c manufacturers with whome we have links one way or other!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-15954202492453240242009-08-14T02:08:00.550-07:002009-08-14T02:08:00.550-07:00Agree with P Mukherjee.

In doing so, India's long term defense perspective, developments in the region (vis-a-vis China/Pakistan) and the reliability of the OEM in confilct situations to be assessed. That would save a lot of time and money.With the LCA delayed and the Mig-21s falling to pieces, we dont have time for this drama.P Mukherjeenoreply@blogger.com
