Your newspaper, like almost all the Indian press, when material acquisitions are made, neglects an important point: the financing of acquisitions by the defense budget of the country. Here, it is said that the proposal for the acquisition of these helicopters was made by the Navy, 19 years ago. Logically, the question that should come to mind is how will the financing of the purchase of these helicopters be secured? This is a question that arises with every announcement of purchase of material. Moreover, in this case, when the proposal has been definitively validated in the United States, the Indian Government will have to decide on the financing of this acquisition. You will recognize that over the last few years many announcements have been made, but without specifying the financial means. This opacity can only undermine the credibility of the expenditures allocated each year to the country’s defense budget and in particular to its component dealing with equipment expenditures.
