The recent Dubai Airshow was particularly lively, with countries showcasing their military capabilities, including India. However, the Tejas almost went wrong at the air show, but fortunately, the excellent skills of the pilots stabilized the situation and finally successfully completed the mission. Although the Tejas holds the record of accident-free, India's other armed *** called the Polaris DHRUV has not been so lucky.
It is understood that this *** was developed by Hindustan Aeronautics, which is also the manufacturer of the Tejas fighter. At the end of the 70s of the last century, the Indian military put forward the ALH plan, aiming to develop a domestic 5-ton deadweight class of light *** Although it was approved by India, due to a series of problems such as funding, the service process of this new *** has been delayed until 2002.
The Indian Army has expressed dissatisfaction with the Polaris DHRUV*** for its inability to meet the operational requirements of a special mission at an altitude of 5,000 meters, pointing out that it has technical shortcomings, especially engine problems, which limit cruising speed and affect high-altitude performance. However, it was only after the ALH MK-III was replaced with the earlier TM333 engine that the Indian Army agreed to equip it with this ***
India is said to have produced 335 Polaris***, most of which are owned by the Indian military. Despite India's claims that the aircraft is safe and reliable, military personnel rarely use it, preferring to use imported equipment. In the process of equipping, the Indian Coast Guard took the lead in adopting this *** other branches of the military and followed suit. However, this *** does not sell well in the international market, and almost no users are willing to buy it.
In the past period, Ecuador had ordered 7 Polaris***, however, 4 of them crashed one after another, causing tragic damage. After the first crash, Ecuador made a direct request for a return to India, but India rejected the request on the grounds of mishandling. With frequent accidents, Ecuador eventually stopped using the model and planned to ** the remaining Polaris, but failed to find any buyers.
These terrible events have seriously damaged the reputation of the developer Hindustan Aeronautics, and also directly exposed the quality problems of India's domestic **.
