HAL acquisition among projects worth Rs 8,722.38 crore to be cleared. The upgrade of Israeli Heron UAVs will include arming them, a need being pushed due to stand-off with China.
BJP MP Nishikant Dubey urges Modi govt to look into 2009 Pilatus defence deal, draws links between property bought by Bhandari's firm in London to Vadra.
The IAF never signed a pact for maintenance of the fleet in 2011 and now thanks to a CBI probe into Pilatus there's little chance of the deal being signed.
Despite growing passenger volume, 11 out of 14 carriers reported losses in 2023-24. IndiGo recorded profit of Rs 8,167 crore, which reduced to Rs 7.253 crore in 2024-25.
Of the total package, $649 million will be utilised for additional hardware, software, and support services, and the remaining for Major Defence Equipment (MDE).
None of Pakistan’s PMs has lasted 5 years. That the current PM has given Asim Munir 5 years shows that of all military dictatorships history has seen, Pakistan’s is most creative.
Like all PSUs HAL is civilian controlled, and manned and totally corrupt and inefficient organisation guzzling tax payer’s money. It should be closed yesterday
It’s a good decision by the IAF for going for indegeious trainer aircraft. But to have heroic and brave pilots IAF should have pilots like 1971 war hero flying officer K.P Muralidharan MIA persumed to be logging in Pak jail’s as per govt of India official list given to Pakistan where 55 missing Indian POWs are there. IAF bileatedly and repeatedly pinched Maha Vir Chakra to flying officer K.P Muralidharan MIA but this govt endorses TIME BAR FOR BRAVERY. What a absurd and nonsense and whole Indians felt ashamed and put their head down. Even the Pakistan govt and their media had eloquently praised this air warrior. But this govt washes their hand and says sorry Time over .What stupidity. The senior official s every instance say. that there is shortage of officers. They don’t get very young youth to join the forces .When a young pilot sacrificed his life for this country the govt and IAF is not ready to honour.IAF had admitted he had saved his commander SQN.LDR K.N Bajpai in the. dogged air battle and also he had destroyed vital military installations in his three run over the air base. He was finally shot down by the enemy pilot Wing Comdr Salim Mirza Baig over the Peshawar air base after a long air battle. Chief. Of Defence post is created and I don’t know what Gen Bipin Rawat and Integrated vice chief Vice Admiral Hari Kumar have to say in this case.Hope they will immediately take quick action so that this soldier get his dues with out further delay. jai Hind.
HTT 40 is far more expensive than the imported Pilatus trainers….
It’s better the govt transfer the programme to a private company for mfg and also for export, it can reduce cost and better delivery schedule….
HAL can ask for reasonable royalties…
