All packed to go for overhaul?
I think they are just stored. For a possibility of overhaul in near future if Ukraine conflict pauses.
Forces are being told to prioritise indigenous equipment first so as to support the industry, plus make the govt look good. Imports can come in later, ie, after elections, the reason for making the govt look good. Gotta save forex too.
We need support our local industry irrespective of elections or no elections. Its just we shouldnt end up pampering our white elephant public sectors.
UK MoD has put 14 C-130J-30 (stretched version) for sale from 2023-25 as they start retiring to save transport fleet cost. Lots of air miles left as these airframes are barely 20 years old. Powered by Rolls-Royce engines. pic.twitter.com/BGvsGY6pcQ

Currently IAF is pushing for a clearance to obtain a second batch. Chinooks have great endurance and can carry heavy loads in Himalayan regions more effectively.#IADN pic.twitter.com/uRcJrUMbfU
