    LCA TEJAS MK1 & MK1A: News and Discussion

    Im absolutely sure the "weapon's package" of the Tejas (independently of buying nation) can be sorted with no issues. I dont wanna go on with were the deal is going (nether make a big Off topic), but all roads go to the F-16 for what im hearing/seeing. If they dont purchase it in the upcoming...

    There is a lot of "things" here that we really don't know, if in the development of NG-CCM certain british companies/laboratories participated/contributed, there might be certain closures regarding export towards certain countries (things regarding technology transfer). If not...it could be...

    Not tejas, but we clearly used the JF-17, the Tejas came from the indian interest to form a partnership with us, thing that might happen in the future, but im not sure if it will happen with tejas.

    LCA TEJAS MK1 & MK1A: News and Discussion

    I'm a bit confused about this news, AFAIK, the replacement cost of the seat change was to be paid by us, not India. And it comes in a time where there is a possible F-16 sale right around the corner... Idk what to say :scared2:

    LCA TEJAS MK1 & MK1A: News and Discussion

    Any idea of who HAL sent to this meeting? last time i did recognize some, but now..nope. As far as rumors or news, nothing, i wish this offer could contemplate help to revive our Mi-171s, HAL could finish the Overhauls and get them back operational (givent the Ukrainian conflict, all russian...

    AFAIK, they were still working on the indigenious rail for it, so it didn't require an adapter.

    LCA TEJAS MK1 & MK1A: News and Discussion

    I really dont know, i find it very strange to see HAL disregard a possible sale, specially when competing against other options is not really easy (FA-50 eating most of the light market). Lets hope by some miracle the deal progresses in the future.

    The reports or news came around the deal for helicopter support, as for the Tejas evaluation...not much.

    LCA TEJAS MK1 & MK1A: News and Discussion

    There was some sort of try at that, with the LCH and LUH, but afaik...both are too early for a purchase (and the FAA already got Bell 407GXis). Even all of that, i think the FAA still purchases spares for the Lama helicopters from india (the HAL cheetah) BTW, parts of the 407GXi are produced in...
