They must manufacture six trainer aircrafts during the first year.<br />I wish to bring to the notice of all Indians that the indigenous, battle tested Marut Aircraft (HF24) was retired by few IAF officers in collusion with politicians. Think of India's power with Marut Mark IV (as on date it would have achieved Mark IV configuration) and Tejas in service. <br />I also want to stress upon the fact that Tejas can not be fully successful without Kaveri engine.P.K.Chaudhurihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10243425778396514693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-58938164439409406202013-12-22T03:27:01.220-08:002013-12-22T03:27:01.220-08:00@Abhiman: Thanks for the reply.
