The Indian navy is to go ahead with a "limited upgrade" of its carrier-borne BAE Systems Sea Harrier fighters.
This is to be completed in 2008 and will extend their lives by 15 years.
The upgrade, to be performed by Bangalore-based Hindustan Aeronautics, will include more advanced sensors, radars and avionics.
According to defence minister A K Antony, half of India's Harrier fleet has been lost in accidents.
(My italics).
It would be interesting to know the average annual attrition rate and whether there are enough left to last the fifteen years.
