Withdrawal of India's Cheetah and Chetak Helicopters

Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.usGovernment proposes to withdraw Chetak and Cheetah helicopters from the Army, because the existing fleet of helicopters is of 1960s and 1970s vintage and hence, inadequate for the present operational requirement of the Indian Army.

Based on the qualitative requirements framed by the Indian Army, the acquisition process in terms of the Defence Procurement Procedure for procurement of new helicopters compliant with these qualitative requirements, is under way.

This information was given by the Defence Minister Shri AK Antony in a written reply to Smt Jaya Bachchan in Rajya Sabha today.
