LATEST LCA TRIBUTE [VIDEO]

Oh no those yellow GPUs again! It seems LCA cannot move an inch without these auxiliary power units and hence cannot be deployed to forward bases unless these GPUs are either flown-in or pre-deployed. For a squadron of LCAs it will require at least 2 to 3 flights of the C17s or IL76s to move all the GPUs in addition to moving the normal support equipment and ground crew. I have also read the panel access to key areas is also a challenge. LCA seems like a logistics and maintenance nigtmare requiring a lot of support equipment and ground crew. This could impact its export potential also.

Red: The word 'seems' say it all. It can simply be a matter of what pics you select. Seems = appears <> fact
Blue: There is a difference between DOES NOT and CAN NOT. Even if LCA does not move without an APU, this does not automatically mean it cannot. The subsequent 'hence' is also questionable: e.g. assuming an APU is needed, would one need one apu per aircraft, would one need to fly APUs in (I bet you can stick 3-4 crosswise in the back of a BEML or Tatra truck)??
Green: not very usefull without source reference.
