Biggest advantage Astra has over Derby is the mid-course update capability.........really important for long range engagement especially against a maneuvering target.

Why people quote some layman when you have official government release on this

Based on the successful integration and demonstration, Regional Centre for Military Airworthiness (RCMA), a unit of DRDO has cleared the series production aircraft of Squadron 45, to be equipped with Derby operational capability. LCATejas has successfully completed a series of captive flight trials to clear Derby for the full operational capability in the entire FOC envelope. In the past, Tejas has qualified for the armaments and missile release related trials.

DRDO should try its best to do something oj kaveri

As SJha rightly pointed out, as long as American continue to supply GE F414 to India, they would have some leverage.


This is not to say that Kaveri cannot or will not develop without sanctions. I believe our long term aims are to have our own jet engine powering our fleet.

There are not short cuts to it, unfortunately.

 

[patriots]

Again,ada,saying no engine available for,amca.. So they,will use f414....

IAF should have ordered another 40 Mk1 to increase production rate and phase out migs.

Ya.

So iaf should.........

 

[Rahul Singh]

IAF and HAL both agree to the need of ordering more MK-1 FOC but both want other side to finance the future upgrade to MK-1A
