    LCA TEJAS MK1 & MK1A: News and Discussion

    Jets are not the only thing which gets costlier, every thing is extremely expensive now, you can't buy a brand new car today for 15k inr, but the truth is jets cost is raising in a slow rate compared to rest, making them less expensive compared to others. Soviets ? there is no soviets today and...

    Kisika bhi nahi. MMRCA deal don't consume any lca order but if mmrca/mrfa gets canceled, then iaf only option is lca mk2. Iaf need minimum 12 sqn of lca[both mk1 & mk2] and can goes upto 20 sqn. My guess- around 2025/26/27 [when mk2 starts flying] iaf order another batch of mk1a/b and nos...

    First part- not happening for military but may consider assembling for civilian aircrafts if the order is greater than 2000 engines. Second part- assembling/manufacturing part yes- hal can't produce engines, but hal can mro engines better than zero tech and help to keep jets flying till...

    Cost is negligible if you consider a war defect. Redesign take time but its a major necessity and IAF loves it if engine is UK/EU origin and if not- cannibalism & su75 or su57 and no more ADA jets- becz they all use GE[US] I'm having zero concern but disappointed by not choosing ej200 & delay...

    In simple, 1. you can't buy 100% 4.5th gen fighter engine tech for 400mil USD 2. stop worrying about sanctions becz sanctions only stay for less than a decade, and IAF having russian & french jets in its inventory. Final note- GE already started supply of ge414 engines and 18...

    yes, but not impossible. But lca mk2 need a engine right ? if ge can't deliver according to deal, ada can consider ei200 or new rfi like mmrca. GE fully capable delivering what they promised,so no worries, GE manufacturing ge404 & ge414 in SK. GE also established ge 404 MRO facility with HAL in...

    You totally confused, for your info no one talking about ban, but alternatives. Also for your info we brought mig21, mig29, rafale, s400 and manufacturing ak203 etc, and we are not slaves of US. We can buy whatever we want, and don't give any special consideration to US.

    My mistake, not boeing but GE. I made mistake - replaced GE with Boeing. Back to your post- No, its reverse- Boeing needs India more than India needs Boeing. India can buy Airbus planes. Russia, China etc also R&D, produce civilian jets. Just imagine India carriers ditching 500 Boeing planes...

    You got all wrong- here I'm talking about GoI sanctioning Boeing, not about US sanctions. Boeing will lose 1000s of order of jets from India and cause its share to crash, and give Airbus a huge advantage. You can read lca tejas mk2 for further info. I already posted reasons why Boeing giving tot...

    GE trying their best to avoid sanctions when US once again giving importance to india. GE 414 is used in lca mk2 not in mk1 and GE need to manufacture 81 engine in India with HAL when mk2 enter mass production, but non need to manufacture ge404 engine which is used to power lcamk1/mk1a in india...
