NEW DELHI: The issue between the Army and the IAF for controlling attack helicopters was a "family problem" and the government was in the final stages of finding a solution for it, defence minister A K Antony said here on Tuesday.
The Army has been demanding the control over attack and medium-lift helicopters saying they are mainly used for its operations and that is why they should be under it. The IAF, which operates two squadrons of Russian-origin Mi-35/25 attack choppers, has been opposing the demand.
"There is no tussle and there is no war. These are all family problems and we will find a solution. We are in the final stages of finding the solution amicably. Don't go beyond that," he told reporters on the sidelines of the Territorial Army Day parade.
