The Indian Air Force is working to establish an aerospace command to exploit space capabilities, Chief of Air Staff Air Chief Marshal SP Tyagi said this week. The Times of India reported that Indian satellites, radars, communications systems, fighter aircraft, and helicopters would be integrated under the command. He did not commit to an exact time frame for setting up the aerospace command.
Boeing received a $2.47 billion Air Force contract Nov. 25 for 15 more KC-46s, bringing to 183 the number of Pegasus tankers on contract to all customers, foreign and domestic. The new contract—for Lot 12 of the initially planned KC-46 buy—is to be completed by 2029.
