| Summary/Abstract |
When the history of Indian defence industry is written, there would be two sure contenders gunning for the title of the most controversial acquisition, viz., the 1984 purchase of the Bofors 155 mm artillery gun and the ongoing, mired in debate, Indian Air Force’s (IAF’s) Medium Multi Role Combat Aircraft (MMRCA) project. The former has outlived its utility as a missile in the political arena while the latter has just begun its journey as a potential one, post the decision of the government to acquire 36 Rafale fighters from France in a government to government (G2G) contract.

| Summary/Abstract |
The Medium Multi Role Combat Aircraft (MMRCA) saga of the IAF is representative of the procurement problems facing the Services in general. A selection that was made public three years ago, literally to the day, is still breathing fire, or maybe just smoke now, due to the inordinate delay in contract finalisation.

| Summary/Abstract |
During the last year, the Indian Air Force (IAF) and the Indian Navy (IN) confirmed what must have been the worst kept secret in New Delhi: that the Tejas Light Combat Aircraft, for all its achievements, was unsuitable as a strike-fighter for their near-term modernisation requirements.

| Summary/Abstract |
Military aero-engines have very long service lives as a result of the enormous expense in designing and developing state-of-the-art aero-engine technology. The Indian Air Force (IAF) by virtue of having a large fleet of legacy fixed and rotary wing platforms, still operates and maintains types which have their technology origins in the late Sixties. Unlike most air forces world over, which are standardising their aircraft fleets with fewer types, the IAF will enter the next decade with a multiplicity of platforms and associated engine technology. We take a look at the military aero-engines that will join the Indian armed forces over the course of this decade and those already in service along with the technologies and benefits that they offer
