Según dnaindia.com HAL, reclama a BAE Systems 10 millones de dólares por las dificultades encontradas en el ensamblaje de los Hawk comprados a la firma para la Fuerza Aérea. Según el contrato firmado en 2004, 42 Hawk serían ensamblados por HAL y 24 serían recibidos directamente de BAE. Muchos de las herramientas y equipos suministrados por los británicos tuvo que ser re-adaptado, lo que supuso un retraso en el proceso de ensamblaje, por lo que HAL está reclamando el perjuicio por 10,5 millones de dólares. La compra a BAE se realizó tras dos décadas de negociaciones. En una fuerte señal de disconformidad con la operación, la Fuerza Aérea India, ha emitido un concurso por 57 nuevos entrenadores, que inicialmente iban a ser comprados a BAE.

India is asking British military firm BAE Systems to pay millions of dollars for the troubles it faced in assembling jet trainers bought from the firm. In its demand for compensation, Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) cites the difficulties faced in assembling the Hawk advanced jet trainers (AJT) which were bought for the Indian Air Force (IAF). Under the original contract of 2004, 42 of these single-engine aircraft were to be assembled by HAL and 24 to be delivered directly by BAE. Several tools and equipment supplied by the British military firm had to be “reworked”, that delayed the assembling of the aircraft. Because of the “unwanted trouble” that was “not mandated by contractual conditions”, the organisation has now asked BAE to pay it around $10.5 million.
It is unusual for such a compensation to be sought by an Indian firm in a military contract. The contract with BAE took shape after two decades of negotiations. In a strong signal of its unhappiness with the firm, the IAF had last year issued a fresh tender for another global competition to buy a new batch of 57 advanced jet trainers. Originally, these were also to be bought from BAE.
