Unfortunately s long as the present Govt's policy is appeasing (pa chata chati) foreign govts. - and not diplomatic engagement and active leveraging - this ain't gonna happen.

I'm glad these L410UVP-E20's are FAR23 certified now. Some of the earlier Walter-engined (Czech powerplant) L410's were not so and that's a cause for concern. One defunct airline, Air Parabat- used to operate a couple of these prototypes from Tejgaon airport about ten years ago. Their safety record with these planes was not exactly stellar.

I don't get why the air force would buy an airplane unless a reliable PT-6 engined variant was being offered. There are so many PT-6 engined twins available, most notably the economical Chinese Y-12F. See below.
