NEW DELHI — India’s air force has received the first of three Embraer 145 Airborne Early Warning and Control (AEW&C) aircraft from Brazil’s Embraer Defense and Security. The delivery follows the successful completion of ground and flight tests which met the operational targets of Embraer and the Center for Airborne Systems (CABS) of India’s Defense Research & Development Organization (DRDO).
NEW DLEHI — British military firm BAE Systems will pay £6.5 million ($10 million) in damages to India for supplying defective components and fixtures for Hawk Mk-132 advanced jet trainers to state-run Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd. (HAL), which delayed delivery of the aircraft to the Indian air force (IAF).
