Re: HJT 36 Project a complete failure The post was missing a wink smiley :), because there are some who call enlisted men traitors, or question their intentions when their equipment of choice isn't ordered.

Re: HJT 36 Project a complete failure Sarcasm detector failure detected. I am not saying they aren't good. They are simply late beyond the excuses provided and their project management reeks of criminal incompetence. Go ahead and major Indian weapon system delivered on time and within...

Re: HJT 36 Project a complete failure Stop being such a traitor. It's the IAF's fault because they love their phoren maal. Even though HAL has failed spectacularly to deliver a trainer 9 years after the decision to change the engine was taken, it is still IAFs fault. If IAF had been involved...

Re: HJT 36 Project a complete failure Also, there is only so much fixing that can be done to an existing design. Putting lipstick on a pig doesn't make it beautiful.

http://www.hal-india.com/tender/ardc/NIT_EOI-%20HJT-36_16-8-14.pdf HAL has floated a tender for optimisation of weight of HJT-36 before commencing production. No news about aerodynamic changes or IOC/FOC. It is unlikely that any production version Sitara would be delivered before the end of...

And due to incomplete training they were being made to fly MiG-21. One of the major reasons for MiG-21 crashes was that the new pilots were unaccustomed to high landing and take off speeds and were unable to understand the plane's behaviour in trans sonic regions. IJT cannot replicate those...

IJT cannot replace AJT. There is some overlap as far as handling a jet is concerned, but AJT is a twin engined design with almost twice the thrust of IJT. It can undertake much complex maneuvers and can simulate radars and weapons systems. AJT can simulate the handling characteristics during...

Stick to the topic. No one's interested in your personal sob story with HAL.

Not really. Although an intermediate jet trainer overlaps in capability with a more capable basic trainer (PC-21, Super Tucano, KA-1, Texan II) and advanced trainers (BAE Hawk, M-346, Yak-130), they are in a category of their own. It depends on what kind of training the airforce is looking for...
