Alternatively, fund the indigenous engine.

The engine is going to be a big barrier. US can cut supply any time.

any updates on Tejas orders / deliveries for IAF?

Won't replacing the seats simplify the supply chain? Similarities between planes will make sourcing replacement parts easier.

Maybe I am wrong, but I will hold skepticism until I see wholesale replacement of Mig 21

Lol. You and I both know how long it will be before a single Mk1A enters "FOC". Probably another decade at least, and by then people will be clamoring for ChamchawallahMCA, a 20++++ generation plane lol. Reality bites, you will catch up soon.

Mk1A has been in production for 0 months. Literally the first test flight occurred 3 months ago (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HAL_Tejas#Tejas_Mark_1A). People are excited about the plane being exported when India isn't even mass producing it for itself. You people are entirely missing the...

India makes 4+ generation? Which plane? How many squadrons of Mk1A have been ordered? There's not even a full squadron of Mk1A and people are clamoring for Mk2, Mk3, Mk4, AMCA, BMCA, ChamchaCA lol. I'm trying to put in a dose of realism here but people are way too idealistic about it.

How many 3 generation planes does India make lol

There's two squadrons of Mk1 that are in what airbases? Sulur, far from any potential combat zone. Replaced the MiG21 all the way in Tamil Nadu, yet the combat zones on the border are still with Mig21s. It's seriously embarrassing. And I don't know how to make it any clearer. I have a product I...

The mere fact that Indians are getting excited about exporting a plane that India isn't even using in it's main fleet is ridiculous. It's like saying you have developed an exciting product for your company, but you yourself don't use it and try to sell it to somebody else. Anybody that is...

Nothing is impossible. Tejas has barely gotten off the ground. Mk2 is a joke, AMCA is a nothingburger. Kaveri is going to be the answer to many woes, if and only if Indian engineers are permitted to get it off the ground. Must watch out for Israeli spies though

I guess it's an interesting thought. Why is IAF goign with GE engine? Why not manufacture the Mk1A that is being done and then do Mk1b with a M88 to make parts easier to make and improve supply? Mk2 and Mk2a etc will be incremental improvements but they need the Mk1As first

Chandigarh lobby @ work

Isn't the Elbit thing a radar or whatever? Why is India so reliant on this country

Why can't India make it's own Elbit naphrazem ashkenazim sephardim radar

Any updates on LCA delivery and Mk1A delivery? Also how can you go from Mk1 to Mk1A but there's barely any Mk1s flying? Mk1a to Mk1b but no Mk1a flying? Mk1b to Mk 2 but there's no Mk1b? This makes no sense.

Actually I disagree. Willpower is needed to fix all the other elements. If you have no will, there is literally zero way.

A lot of apologists in this thread don't even know who the heads of these organizations are. If you can't hold the head of an organization accountable, why even bother having an organization to begin with?
