Guess no updates for this project. After teasing for years that ADA-HAL combo is going to proceed with in house money, it appears even nearly after a year of CCS clearance, money hasn’t reached the project. Atleast the jigs should have been ready by now. There is no update whatsoever on mk2...

Understand the difference between calling someone “stupid” and calling a “stupid” post. I never get personal or have abused someone on this forum. You can support Modi govt on defence all you want. But his only good period was 14-16 when MP was the DM. That’s it. After that period, it’s simply...

Forget about going back. First reading my post “properly” would have made sense in the first place. G2G deal was signed in 2016. I said corruption may have taken place before 2016 and money paid to middleman even if IAF had wanted Rafale. Dassault and French firms are famous for corruption. An...

If the Opposition voice was more powerful then they would have forced Modi to go with 126 Rafales in whatever way conceivable. Rafale was not selected by Modi, but by UPA time. All the opposition politicians care about kickbacks. I believe corruption has taken place in Rafale before 2016...

With due respect, offending or insulting you was not my intention. I did not call you stupid but this line of argument. I do apologize for making you feel like this.

Rajnath is an politician. RM might not be good fit for him. Should be given some other portfolio. But he is an BJP heavyweight given one of the heavyweight portfolios. I doubt even Gadkari or even Modi can understand the technicalities of defence procurement. MP was an engineer. Having too many...

I don’t even know why this stupid argument is bought again and again? HAL has nothing to do with the current problem. This problem has to do with the Modi Govt. HAL is doing stuffs for free. Best of luck trying to get that from private companies. For HAL to Privatize, there should be multiple...

Lack of opposition voice in Parliament to force govt to do meaningful changes. And that emboldens the govt to do almost nothing.

Atleast before 2016, there were some excuses indigenous projects were not ready yet but now there is no such excuses. Indigenous projects are ready but no order. In fact we are back to pre 2020 Galwan level in terms of preparedness. More announcement jumlas than actual procurements

My bad. Thought it was 2023.

I mean we haven’t seen any progress till date. Only tender was taking an design to do final wind tunnel testing in France. Unveiling was planned in Dec 2023. We havent even seen the jigs yet.

Any updates? I guess the roll out is this year. Should have seen the fighter body on the jigs by now, engine testing separately etc

Not sure about IN though. All of their new capital warships deal haven’t cleared by CCS. In fact from 2025-30 we won’t have any big warship intake. We will have 2 more destroyers and 11 more frigates by 2026. And 11 ASW crafts. How many will get decommissioned at this point I am not sure...

And have our pilots killed in Migs 29, chetak or cheetah till then… Niceeeeeeeee… The older Jags which were not part of upgrade will be retired. They expect 3 upgraded Jags Sq platform till 2035 or even more. We got the latest jags just after year 2000. But remember Migs we’re bought at end of...

Cancel MRFA and go with G2G orders for more Rafales and be done with it. It’s expected 26 Rafale M for carriers. Place the orders along with it and be done with this drama is my suggestion.

I don’t think so. For the first time, Hal CMD has been honest. It’s the most “possible” timeline. Even 8-9 years is aggressive.

This is purely bad management. Even if Mk2, TEDBF and AMCA gets CCS sanction, does ADA have the manpower to work simultaneously on all 3 projects? Let’s assume AMCA timeline is similar to mk2, Hal needs to have production facilities for both and GoI still have to spend Billions buying both ac at...

TEDBF isn’t even approved. ADA will give livable timelines and scientists are now acting similar to bureaucrats. Seems they love media attention. and when actual ccs clearance is given, they will say 36 months from signing date 😂 Next is AMCA CCS clearance. TEDBF hasn’t even gotten to CDR...

I would suggest to go just 10 pages back and see the timelines given by ADA/HAL chairman. Even when CCS approved it, news came in, prototype started, landing gears delivered, FBW completed and roll out by Dec 2023. Now official dates are given. Thing is what can we do? Average voting public...
