Summary/Abstract |
The article reports on the Indian Air Force's (IAF) ways of dealing with hot and high environmental conditions. Hot and high refers to low air density caused by high temperatures and high geographic elevation which result in helicopters having difficulties generating lift. The IAF has started operating in such environments in 1984 when they launched an operation to secure the border in northern Kashmir. The IAF is reportedly planning to purchase the upgraded version of the Cheetah helicopter.

Summary/Abstract |
The article discusses factors that should be considered when delivering a combat aircraft system to India.

He claims that the slow progress is due to Indian officials having bad past experiences with partner companies, both domestic and foreign. He adds that the constantly changing domestic politics should also be considered.
