Tejas orders are well documented. You can see order source here. I have been tracking this program for very long. https://pib.gov.in/Pressreleaseshare.aspx?PRID=1541715

The approach is still the same. Nothing has changed there. So the comparison is valid. MK2 will not be inducted before 2030. Parrikar's contribution was MK1A. That itself is a big contribution, but other than that, the entire approach is still the same. Remember the entire RFP process for MK1A...

Everyone has stuck to Modi vs manmohan. My central point was we haven't ordered enough aircraft in last 20 years. We will keep paying the price of the same for next 20 years. And yes, agreed with your timelines for the additional mk1a order. This is criminally slow

40 tejas mk1 were ordered by manmohan Singh government, not Modi government bro

Bhai sahab has a habit of making ludicrous claims out of his a$$ and blaming armed forces. I have limited patience only for guys like him. Manmohan ordered more. 40 LCA + 82 MKI =122. Modiji ordered 36 Rafale + 83LCA=119 Of course both of these are way short of what was needed. To maintain...

We must not forget that this follow up order for MK1A is the simplest aircraft order in over a decade. We don't need any trials, any improvements, multiple vendors, distribution of works, offsets, etc. Only two things need to decided, price and delivery schedule. This is similar to follow on...

I know its better. I am only complaining about the speed of acquisition. We have been hearing about more Mk1A orders for a few months now. So the intent has been there to order more since long. This means that IAF and MOD had more than a year to wrap up the extra Mk1A order before elections...

Suggestions are to order more dude, the same thing which I have been saying. And MRFA project should have been handled better.

First of all, he is not my manmohan Singh Secondly go and count the number of fighter aircraft ordered during his tenure, assuming you know how to count. Thirdly, aren't you the moron who said Astra has been rejected for Tejas. Proven wrong just yesterday and still no humility I see, I am not...

Don't understand the happiness over this news of 100 more LCA MK1A. This deal is unlikely to be inked before elections. And this deal will be replacing MMRCA 2. Overall procurement rate still remains the same ,which is very slow. Less than 120 fighters ordered in 10 years of Modi government...

And some said that Astra will never be tested from Tejas @Chinmoy you would remember that poster I think

I don't see a reason for gloominess. Su 30 MKI episode proved that IAF will order what is available. And tejas is the only plane that is available. But I do hope that they get around to it quickly. Last 2 years, indian defence progress has been depressing.

A follow up order requires less confidence than ordering a new platform Also, one alternative option (Russia) has been removed. Also, with completion of deliveries of Su30MKI and Rafale, Tejas is the only plane on order. IAF must take what is available. Actual order might still be years away...

Ukraine war has basically killed our potential order for additional Su30MKI and Mig29. Has IAF given any counter proposal to order 40 MK1A in their place?

You forget that 2+ years of delay was not just because of price, but because HAL's response to RFP was non compliant as well: https://www.aninews.in/news/national/general-news/hals-83-lca-tejas-proposal-non-compliant-with-tender-requirements-iaf-to-take-matter-to-defence-ministry20190128142355/...

Make HAL work harder by: 1. linking incentives for top management with performance. I had posted years back HAL stock had declined by 30% since IPO, yet no action against their MD 2. Privatize more of it so that market participants can get seat on board and push their employees. Government can...

Again, I will repeat my question, has HAL ever claimed that the delay in delivery of LCA is because of delay in payments? Or are you making this stuff up? Which Helo was ever delivered before time? Dhruv? Did you read the CAG report about it...

HAL ke fanboys padh lo: https://www.mynation.com/india-news/hals-finances-get-a-fillip-as-indian-armed-forces-clear-dues-cash-holdings-now-at-rs-7135-crore-qr2xub On topic, has HAL ever said that delay in payments are behind delays in delivery? Has HAL delivered a single aircraft order on time...

I wonder who was it who said that Astra will never be tested from LCA
