Why India Planning Bulk Induction Of Aircraft?

With the spurt in the technology governed warfare, the possession of latest technology is the need of the hour. The Indian government is working hard to bring the aircraft count in IAF to the minimum required level. But the problem is not just about the adding more aircraft in the Indian Air Force. The need to replace the aging aircraft is also an issue to be handled. The Indian Air Force is going through the tough times due to the shortage of aircraft and the reduction in the number of aircraft in Rafale deal from 126 to 36, after the deal was revised. Following this, the Indian government has taken a bold step to boost the IAF by inducting bulk count of aircraft.

What is the Proposal?

The Indian government has put its proposal to buy 200 aircraft with the condition that the aircraft will be manufactured in India with a local manufacturing firm. The opinion of manufacturing of aircraft in India is to raise the indigenous manufacturing and reducing the import dependency over foreign defense giants. The government officials have said that they have written to many aircraft manufacturers to manufacture single engine aircraft in India with Transfer of Technology. The move will be a turning point in the modernization of Indian Air Force.

The deal that would range about 300 aircraft would cost about Rs. 87,000 cr making it to be the biggest defense deal in the Indian history. The deal will be accelerated as fast as the soviet aged places will be phased out.

What is the need of Bulk Buying?

The Indian Air Force it planning to replace planes of soviet era aircraft from its force. IAF is planning to replace all the old age aircraft from the indigenously made or foreign procured aircraft. The current proposal also aims at bringing new technology. The Rafale deal that was initially proposed to buy 126 aircraft got limited to 36 planes. Talking about Tejas, a small fraction of Tejas has been delivered till now, due to manufacturing delays. India is currently going through a shortage of squadrons and as per the official sources, India is not in the condition of having a two front war with close neighbors Pakistan and China.

A Step Taken in the Past

The Rafale deal with France and the introduction of Tejas aircraft were the steps that were moved to increase the strength of squadron of the IAF and phasing out of the aging aircraft in the Indian Air Force. FGFA and AMCA projects have also been raised by the Indian government to bring new and enhanced technology into the IAF.

Conclusion – Previous efforts of India to raise the manufacturing in India attracted Lockheed martin to put a manufacturing unit of F-16 in India for making aircraft for India and for also for exporting them. SAAB of Sweden has also shown its interest in putting up a manufacturing unit and developing aviation industry in India. Some other top private aircraft manufacturers are expected to approach India for establishing manufacturing unit in India. The government is putting tough efforts to raise the aircraft level and deal will be a beneficial in all ways.

Classmates of an Army officer from Maharashtra, who laid down his life battling militants near the Line of Control (LoC) in north Kashmir’s Kupwara district last year, have sent 400 packets of sweets to soldiers in his unit.

Col Santosh Mahadik, the Commanding Officer of 41 Rashtriya Rifles, was critically injured during the operation in the Haji Naka forest area of Kupwara near the LoC in Kashmir in November and succumbed to his injuries at a hospital later.

“The mithai boxes, weighing just over 300 kg, landed at Srinagar airport and are being sent to the 41 Rashtriya Rifles, for distribution among the soldiers the martyr once commanded,” a classmate of Mahadik, involved in this initiative, told PTI.

Col Mahadik was a student of Sainik School, Satara.

“This Diwali, we thought of his comrades in arms, who suffer harsh climes and the enemy from across the border, as well as some within. We thought this would be a nice gesture for soldiers, who spend Diwali away from their families,” he said.col-santosh-mahadik

An officer from the elite 21 Para-Special Forces unit, Col Mahadik was awarded a Sena Medal for gallantry during Operation Rhino in the North-East in 2003.

Mahadiks wife Swati last month joined the Officers Training Academy (OTA) in Chennai as part of the SSCW (Non-tech) course for 11 months training before she joins the Army as a lieutenant.

An ace football goalkeeper, a skilled horse-rider and a passionate boxer, Mahadik was an all-rounder, his friends recall.

Despite the inhospitable terrain that made the Kupwara operation immensely challenging, the colonel particularly chose to lead his battalion.
