How feasible is Embraer C-390 M multi-mission for MTA & AWACS for #IAF as a potential solution for both? Can replace the older ERJ-145 based NetraMk1A. #c390 payload leads: 26 tons (80 soldiers, 3 tanks+ 1 Black Hawk). Enough for AWACS modular fit 4 AESA.Price very high ERJ-145

#BangladeshCrisis is truly a sad story. The lowest version of mass thugs, lungi- radicals, bengali speaking poor converts are sheer mockery of religion. They converted a thriving growing state to ruins; now a failed state. Rather islam should denounce them, depraved society.
