Bahrain asks HAL to maintain its Hawk fleet

Bahrain has asked the state-run Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd (HAL) to maintain the advanced jet trainer Hawk fleet of its air force.

"Bahrain's transport minister Kamal bin Ahmed Mohamed, who also looks after his country's defence, urged our chairman R.K. Tyagi to provide technical support to the British-made jet trainer at a meeting in London," the company said in a statement here Wednesday.

The Indian defence behemoth is participating in the week-long Farnborough international air show being held in London since Monday to showcase its technologies and products for marketing and partnerships.

"Without HAL's participation, our air shows are incomplete . Indian defence firms like HAL can offer a lot to the Gulf Cooperation Council and Bahrain in meeting our needs," Mohamed said on the occasion.

The city-based HAL participated in the Bahrain air show, held at Manama Jan 16-18 this year, and explored the areas of cooperation with the island country.

Bahrain also participated in the Defexpo 2014 held in New Delhi Feb 6-9.

HAL manufactures Hawk under production licence from BAE Systems for the Indian Air Force (IAF), which uses the jet for advance training of its rookie pilots.

The Hawk fleet is based at IAF's Bidar station in north Karnataka, about 700 km from Bangalore.

all i am is against the state sponsored defence cos,we need a change in management as clearly the goals have not been met.

its the same case with govt hospitals,,,,,,,,u will visit one only if u are poor and have no money

dosen't mean the doctors are bad!!its just the management and attitude thats there to blame,,,and it needs to change

as i told u i have posted 10 times more factual posts than u,,,there is nothing new to research and post.
what can i do??

but behaving like pakistanis and not accepting facts has become the trademark of indians here.

let me give u an example

barak-8 is touted to be a jv right??

is it really so,,,do ur own research dude,we are contributing nothing than rocket motors

HAL has a good chance to show its potential. If they are half as good as they claim contrary to the media's quotes, then we will know it.

Although I am worried that they don't make India look like idiots in front of the world.

here is the article

IAI's Barak 8 Air Wins an Innovation Award at Aerospace Conference in Tel Aviv

there is no mention of india in the article at all and there is a good reason for it.
will u accept what i just said though??
