1. US will not offer them.
2. Airbus will not fit them.
3. Too complicated.
4. It will become far too expensive.

Rs 2,700 Crores for 89 Brahmos system.
Makes EACH Brahmos missile worth 4.8 Million $ .......... Brahmos is screwing GoI.
USD 2.5 billion for 56 C-295 means each Aircraft will cost around 45 Million $.
India’s Light Transport Competition: Follow Avros to Exitwhat are the compatitors (specially russian and american) to C-295 ?
and what is the price diffrence ?
and what are the advantages of C-295W over them
can some one tell me thanks in advance
Indian C-295W variant is going to be different from other C-295 variants. It will have winglets and more powerful engines to improve operation capabilities over high terrains of Himalayan mountains.

The MTA is lined up as the replacement for the An-132s. The C-295 should definitely be adopted by all those Indian users in need for such a class of a/c like the ICG, IN, BSF and CRPF etc etc and I'm sure this will happen.If the forces and the govt act smart, this can be a real steal. The IAF's An-32s will need to be replaced in the near future, and the C-295 outclasses them in every parameter. There are 105 An-32s in active service. The C-295 can be a good replacement for both Avros and An-32s, which will bring more commonality, and lower procurement costs. (And much lower operational and fuel costs.)
IMO, the entire fixed wing light transport class of aircrafts in all the military and paramilitary forces should be borne by these C-295s. Only the medium weight transports seem to be stuck in limbo, with the MRTA or MTA or whatever is envisioned. If that doesn't come to fruition, a similar make in India deal for C-130J-30 (non spec force version) should be thought about.
Let's not get ahead of ourselves, these are all deals that should have been cleared years ago. The Indian Mil as a whole is still in a pretty poor state and whilst their is now light at the end of the tunnel one shouldn't get complacent.And this all comes at backdrop of China visit .Enough said . Wonder what could be in our shopping list for 2016 Poor neighbors
Is this the final nod? Or does some other body has to approve it? Maybe Negotiaions?
Or I mean is the Airbus deal done now?
@Abingdonboy ?
Now the files go to the CCS (headed by the PM) for final approval but this is more of a formality than anything these days, once a deal is cleared by the DAC it is all but done.This is the decision by DAC i.e. the Defence Acquisition Council which consist of the Prime Minister and Defence Minister.
It does not get any more Higher than this. This is IT. The Buck Stops here.

S-70B
More Rafales (36 is nothing)
CH-47F
AH-64E
A330 MRTT
Mounted Gun Systems
Follow-on P-8Is
Follow-on C-130J-30s
Follow-on C-17s (if the IAF is definitely going to get more this needs to be done ASAP)
Pending requirements that need to be cleared ASAP.
I have got to say though the MoD is doing a pretty good job of taking chunks out of their "to do list". a year ago this list was more than double what it is today.

It's a certainty, there was news the follow-on order for 7 (and replace 1 that crashed) had been signed last year but not sure about that, looks like it is still pending.Follow-on C-130J-30s May be
Follow-on C-17s (if the IAF is definitely going toget more this needs to be done ASAP) - IAF already shown its interest to buy last 2 left
Not going to happen.big one could be Su35S
Rest I can't even imagine . I expect more from BJPs contribution for our defense sector . Because all these are brought by Congress .I guess aim is to finish all pending deals by 2015 and move with clear cut roadmap

From what I hear it will be the Sun Group or something, I haven't heard of them before but apparently they are based in Gurgeon and have already carried out a feasibility studied for setting up a massive production plant in the South- either Goa or TN. This was all done after Putin's visit to India.

HAL will also be involved along with a few other private players.
A shame because Reliance's "aerospace city" sounded like it could be pretty attractive, this deal pretty much kills that.
As per website they are merely investor but who would be manufacturer ?The whole thing is shady.
Gurgeon based "Sun Group" sounds like front company for shady investors from Russia and India. Probably ex-defence middle men and corrupt defence ex-officials from India and Russia.
They will hold 51% of the company that manufactures Ka-226T and the rest of the 49% will be held by Rostec State Corp.
Check out its "website"

Now at least all the tenders where singlle bid situation occurs and which has no deviations and is completely clean , the chances of approval runs higher. This saves us from "vortex" of cancellations and re tendering.
The Avro replacement is late but i still welcome it openly. At least its now more or less a step taken in the right direction.
But we do need more on Medium Weight category lifters.. A proper plan and perhaps indigenous project.
Am still not getting the point of Make in India initiative for just 145 units. of M 777 ?
what are the compatitors (specially russian and american) to C-295 ?
and what is the price diffrence ?
and what are the advantages of C-295W over them
can some one tell me thanks in advance
