Indian Air Force wants to order another 106 PC-7 Mark II trainers

Indian Air Force chief Air Chief Marshal NAK Browne has assailed Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd  which builds most of the fighter aircraft the IAF flies. Writing directly to Defence Minister  in the first week of July, Browne has savaged HAL's proposal to design and build a basic trainer aircraft (BTA) for rookie IAF pilots. Rejecting the proposal, Browne has urged Antony to import 106 PC-7 Mark II trainers from Swiss company Pilatus. These will be over and above the 75 trainers already contracted for $640 million.
