IAF : Shrinking fleet , shrinking responsibility too ?

BY :IDRW NEWS NETWORK

Recently Indian Army has proposed Ministry of defence and defence minister to allow Indian Army to start and operate a Fixed Wing aircraft division for them , that will include operating Indo-Russian MTA or An-32 class fixed wing aircrafts for transport purpose and to move Armies equipments across the country , while this seems to have not gone well with the air force and has per sources have objected to such proposal of Army , IAF is keen to maintain its fleet of fixed wing aircraft and have told to Army that its their job to assist them when ever need arises .

Indian Army is still seems to pursuing their request and have for first time is planing to induct HAL developed LCH Attack helicopters ,army has only operated transport helicopter fleet and usage of attack helicopter is complete shift from their strategy , IAF is shown has the Prime user for LCH attack helicopter but HAL sources have already told media that Army accusation will be double that of IAF .

Navy is not left far behind with Acquisition of three aircraft carriers in next one decade , Navies own fleet of aircrafts is going to jump to more then 200 aircrafts , Indian navy has already planned to maintain 150 fighter jets for Land and carrier operations and will also be taking over its harbor and port security against enemy air attack from air force soon ,Navy is also keen to acquire DRDO developed AWACS into its force in near future and is also planning to acquire other surveillance aircrafts , Navy already operates UAV fleet of its own and its highly unlikely that Naval Versions of Pak-Fa/ AMCA / CUAV will be kept our of Navies reach in future .
