India seeks 200 copters to replace ageing Cheetah & Chetak fleet

印度计划采购200架直升机替换老旧的“猎豹”和“印度豹”机队

NEW DELHI: India has once again resumed the hunt to replace its old single-engine Cheetah and Chetak helicopters, which lack modern avionics, in-built safety mechanisms and have been dogged by a high crash rate just like the MiG-21 fighters, causing the death of scores of pilots over the years.

The Army on Friday issued a request for information (RFI) to vendors for the acquisition of 120 reconnaissance and surveillance helicopters (RSHs) and another 80 for the IAF. "The defence ministry intends to urgently replace the fleet of exsting Cheetah and Chetak helicopters with suitable light helicopters of modern design," the RFI said.

新德里：印度已重启替换老旧单引擎“猎豹”和“印度豹”直升机的计划。这些直升机缺乏现代化航电设备和内置安全机制，且与米格-21战斗机类似，长期存在高坠毁率问题，多年来已导致数十名飞行员丧生。

印度陆军于周五向供应商发布信息请求（RFI），计划采购120架侦察监视直升机（RSHs），另为印度空军采购80架。该信息请求中提到：“国防部拟紧急用设计现代化的适用轻型直升机，替换现有‘猎豹’和‘印度豹’直升机机队。”

The RSHs should be able to perform surveillance by day and night, transport small number troops for special missions, carry internal and external loads in support of ground operations and perform a "scout role" in conjunction with attack helicopters, the RFI added.

The armed forces have been demanding new light helicopters to replace their around 350 Cheetah and Chetak choppers, which are of the design vintage of the 1960s, for well over two decades now. They have sounded the alarm several times but to no avail till now, as reported by TOI earlier.

信息请求进一步指出，侦察监视直升机需具备昼夜侦察能力、为特种任务运送少量部队的能力、承载内部及外部载荷以支援地面作战的能力，以及与攻击直升机协同执行“侦察任务”的能力。

印度武装部队早在二十多年前就已提出用新型轻型直升机替换约350架“猎豹”和“印度豹”直升机的需求。正如《印度时报》此前报道，他们曾多次发出警示，但问题至今未得到解决。

India cannot do that because they do not have enough time to pray to Ram, Hanuman, or Ganesh.

Cancel all weapon deals with America. USA acted over smart in 60s and early 70s but India retaliated with green and white revolutions.

don't buy American. at least until trump in office. as if he is angry and throws a baby tantrum, he might suddenly say no more giving spare parts ! post-trump, evaluate carefully. US always go back to pro-pakistan, even after being fooled over osama. so, it might still not be a good idea

别买美国货。至少在特朗普执政期间别买。他要是生气耍脾气，可能突然就说不给零部件了！特朗普下台后，也得仔细掂量。就算在本·拉登这事上被耍了，美国还是会回头支持巴基斯坦。所以，不该买

RFI is waste of time. Light utility helicopter was specifically designed for this purpose and due to no orders HAL has to shut the production line. It will take atleast three years to restart. Import pasand forces are the bane for indegenization.

轻型通用直升机就是专门为这用途设计的，就因为没订单，印度斯坦航空有限公司不得不关停生产线。重启至少要三年。那些喜欢进口的势力是印度武器国产化的祸害

India should scout manufacturers in Europe ignoring British - Italian companies which were involved in copter scam in India . Use Russian and American choppers for comparison purposes .

Contrary to other comments, I say completely switch to US crude oil and weapons. Because this will cause rupee to depreciate, and make our exports competitive. Only problem is, we need labour reforms to setup more and more factories easily.

和其他人的看法相反，我觉得应该彻底转向美国的原油和武器。这样卢比会贬值，我们的出口就有竞争力了。唯一的问题是，我们得搞劳工改革，方便建更多工厂

but if trump is angry and throws a baby tantrum, he might suddenly say no oil to india or no spare parts for military equipment to india. risk is too high !

I think one of them is based on Alouette III helicopter (a French company) manufactured by HAL since 70’s. It’s long time to go for more modern helicopters.

我觉得其中一种是基于法国“云雀III”直升机，印度斯坦航空有限公司从70年代就开始生产了。早就该换更现代化的直升机了
