What's the source for this ? What will they do with rest of radars ?

FA 50 is the most matured and established platform out of all the competiti. It shares most of the weaponry with FA-18s that are already in service with Malaysia. So it will be the easiest to integrate. Its most likely MRO facilites for FA 50 can be operated by Malaysians themselves which is big...

Its either gonna be KAI FA-50 or M346.

Malaysia doesn't even recognize Israel. Its most likely gonna be FA-50.

Tejas Simulator at ADE via RM facebook

First lets flight test Astra, SAAW and 23mm cannons from FOC Tejas. Then we can discuss about Mk1A, MWF, TEDBF etc. No point in keeping high expectations and then getting disappointed.

Obviously your reading comprehension is quite poor. Should take some classes before replying like an ape.

Any failure now is solely on ADA and HAL.

I see we only have a realistic chance to sell Tejas to Indonesia and Philippines. Philippines has a ongoing project to buy 12 MRCAs for 1.8 Billion USD. I think with 40 million price tag Tejas does look attractive offer. But HAL and DRDO need to show strong Anti Ship capability for any sale in...

How can import lobby sabotage the deal when we can't import an equivalent system ? LCA is for IAF's light aircraft requirement, What equivalent is present which you think we can import ? Deal will be signed when Finance Ministry approves money for it. Given the current economic condition it...

Both Mig 29 and MKI are far better than Tejas. Stop this stupid rant.

They plan to retire Tejas Mk1 by 2032 according to this 2019 article. https://www.business-standard.com/article/defence/air-force-chief-outlines-plan-to-solve-shortage-of-fighter-squadrons-119100401549_1.html Some other excerpts from the article : Meanwhile, the IAF chief confirmed the IAF...

The upgrade to FOC will be done by IAF itself as confirmed by the COAS. They will do it once they get more FOC variants and have enough experience on it.

And deployment will be limited to certain areas and to a limited number of artillery pieces with limited mobility. Compare this to what ULhs and MGS would bring. So you are the one spreading misinformation that a heavy towed howitzer like atags would be better than mountainous regions.

It the military that does not want them. Only thing MoD can do is ask Drdo and Hal to work faster on weaponization of platform.

Its not shortage of money. Military wants an Attack Helicopter with its full weapon package especially the ATGMs. Rudra was inducted into the service 2013 but was only able to use its guns till recently. Only in 2019 they signed the deal for rockets with Thales...

ATAGS can't be used along the chinese border. Its too heavy for that. What is needed are MGS and more ULHs.

There's no randi rona or intentional delay to order LCA Mk1a. The deal was to be cleared in the current fiscal year by the CCS after being cleared by DAC in March. But the covid-19 situation delayed the meeting. The deal will be signed when the CCS meets again.

Whenever the next CCS meeting happens it will be signed then.
