Why not take permission from Russia to Reverse engineer some Critical spare PartsMi-26 makes more sense as we already operate them..Only bottleneck in this deal is the supply of spares....The spare crunch will be always there...

The two underlined parts contradict each other.
What good is a bird that cannot fly, because of lack of spares! The IAF has an appropriate expression/acronym for that- AOG (Aircraft On the Ground), an aircraft on the ground is not an aircraft, it can't even be considered to be a truck; for god's sake.
Mi-26s have had the worst record of AOG status in the IAF inventory. The IAF does not want to re-visit those days; however much nostalgia they may have for the "good ol' days".
What I do find a little amusing on this thread, is that people are attempting to hawk/ market some wares on the basis of some paper specs. The Operational experiences can be vastly different and disconcerting, to put it mildly.
Why reverse engineer..? We could manufacture the parts here if Russia wants..
I personally think that India should have waited a little bit and then should have ordered this
CH53K is going to be the largest cargo copter made by US , it will be powered by 3 5,590KW engines and have a payload of 15TONS.

One reason why I prefered the CH53 (no matter which version) was the possible commonality factor! IAF needs 15 heavy lift helicopters, but IN is evaluating 4 x LDPs/LHDs and according the RFI, they should be able to operate large helicopters too. An LDP like the INS Jalashwa can operate up to 2 x CH 53s, so choosing the same heavy lift healicopter for IAF and IN might have been a good idea, but neither the Mi 26-T2, nor the Chinook will be useful for IN (Sea Kings, naval version of the Chinooks are not in production anymore and replaced by new aircrafts). But as I told you, IAF might not want to wait till the CH53 K is fully developed and available.

From operational and maintenance point of view Mi26 is a pain in the a$$ and expen$ive too. But yeah Mi26 with its tremendous load carrying capacity is an engineering marvel. I think Mi26 might won because it looks like LUH is definitely going to eurocopter so to make every one happy, we might give this project to Russians. Also now Rosoboronexport has set up the shop near delhi so i think the service of russian equipments might improve in India.
Correction SEA KINGHTS
she needs the BEST.
besides , i cant imagine an mi-26 being used for rapid deployment on the frontlines.....
