- According to sources, the Indian Coast Guard is planning to get rid of its old light utility choppers and the Indian Army will use them for a variety of tasks.
- The project to improve the BMP infantry combat vehicles of the Indian Army's mechanized infantry department has also been approved by the government.
Thursday, the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) approved a long-awaited plan to design and build an Indian-made fifth-generation deep penetration Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA) that will meet the needs of the Indian Air Force in the future.
Based on the report, the project’s original development cost is thought to be around ₹15,000 crore.
The Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA) and the state-run Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL), with help from private companies, will work together to build five prototypes of the AMCA.
Internationally, only a few countries, like the US, Russia, and China, have fifth-generation stealth attack jets. The IAF has been working for the AMCA project because it will be needed for a long time.
Druv, an advanced light helicopter
On a separate note, the CCS approved a plan to buy 34 new Advanced Light Helicopter (ALH) Dhruv choppers for the Indian Army and Indian Coast Guard. These are multi-role, next-generation helicopters that were built in India.
The Indian-made helicopter will be made by the public sector company Hindustan Aeronautics Limited. Nine of them will be given to the Indian Coast Guard, and 25 will be given to the Indian Army.
According to sources, the Indian Coast Guard is planning to get rid of its old light utility choppers and the Indian Army will use them for a variety of tasks.
According to estimates, both projects will cost more than ₹8 billion and help make things in India better.
The project to improve the BMP infantry combat vehicles of the Indian Army’s mechanized infantry department has also been approved by the government.
