The ones in the Ecuadorian media questioning the deal will have vested interests including influences from other competitors in the deal.

Some of the things that need to be highlighted are:<br />1. The helicopter is an above average performer with an excellent safety record, and with large numbers in service with the Indian, Nepalese, Israeli armed forces and state governments in India.<br />2. The record of high altitude set in Siachen must be highlighted.<br />3. Any references to corruption in the deal must be quashed aggressively, by mentioning the government to government nature of the deal, and the fact that the HAL is a government owned organization.<br /><br />India needs to reach out to the Ecuadorean media houses and PR savvy individuals must go there and openly discuss the issues at hand.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050542.post-5124852179861806382009-10-29T02:02:33.992+05:302009-10-29T02:02:33.992+05:30Dhruv did not catch fire or explode upon crash.
