Air Chief Marshal Amarpreet Singh on Thursday said on the delay in the purchase and delivery of defense systems that there is not a single project that has been completed on time. It is a matter of thought that why do we make such promises which cannot be fulfilled. Many times at the time of signing the contract, we know that it will not be done on time, yet we sign it, which spoils the whole system. This is the first time that an army chief has questioned the system in this way. At the CII Annual Business Summit, the Air Chief Marshal said; – Timeline is a big issue. Due to the non-completion of defense projects on time, operational preparedness is affected. Earlier on January 8, Air Chief Marshal Amar Preet Singh had expressed concern over the delay in the delivery of Tejas fighter aircraft. He had said that 40 jets have not yet been received by the force. While countries like China are increasing their strength. Delivery of Tejas, AMCA and Mk2 is also late
The Air Chief said that a contract of ?48,000 crore was signed with HAL in February 2021 for Tejas MK1A fighter jet. Delivery was to start from March 2024, but till date not a single aircraft has arrived. The prototype of Tejas MK2 is also not ready yet. There is no prototype of Advanced Stealth Fighter AMCA yet. Today’s need has to be met today
Air Chief Marshal Amar Preet Singh said that we have to be ready for today, only then we will be able to prepare for the future. In the coming 10 years, there will be more output from the industry, but the need that is there today should be met today. We cannot just talk about manufacturing in India. We also have to talk about designing. We need trust between the army and the industry. We need to show a lot of openness. Once we commit to something, we should complete it. He said;- Wars are won when our forces are strong. It is the responsibility of all of us to make them strong. Operation Sindoor is a national victory Air Chief Marshal Amar Preet Singh said that the methods of war are changing. Every day, new technology is coming.
