    It is like you have to do some legit work once to keep the agency running.

    I really hope we don't waste any resources to integrate RD33 which in most likely hood has no synergy with local IAF requirement or potential benefit in integrating indigenous kaveri engine. Otherwise it will be lot to chew just for export and don't know when we will start breaking even with all...

    Without MK2, AMCA may be rough ride IMO with Tier 1/2 supply chain getting not matured enough and other tech not getting proven on MK2. Between I saw some updates regarding safran in discussion for AMCA engine. But I am getting nervous as I had seen some discussion with Rolls royce before. Is...

    Can you mix and match some AC in squadron with different AESA radars. I mean if keep few ELTA and majority with Uttam in squadron; it wont reduce capability that much in that case and save top dollars. Between I think Uttam should not be that behind ELTA.

    Our best chance is yet to come, the caveat is none of our insiders push MWF and other sister projects off road.:devil: Edit: There will be many more meaningful opportunities that will come as long as we dont screw up really badly which can happen unfortunately. If we stay the course we may be...

    Inspite all the good progress we are seeing here always take numbers like 300-400 with bucket of salt. When I joined this forum years ago, senior members made predictions of 32 per annum production in couple of years etc. In reality, we also let the jig to remain idle in between IOC and FOC...

    Good to see lot of positive news here. MK1 production/supply chain getting resolved will serve us well with other upcoming projects as well. I am not relying on exports, they will happen as Tejas line gets matured.

    This is multi level national failure (i.e. delivery/manufacturing delays) + learning to optimize & buildup tier I/II + unexpected covid disruptions. It will be very hard learning step for all entities and no single point of failure.. :frown:

    Also trust GE exec to take pay an visit to WH to clear engine orders in case of monkey business by adversaries. It affects there bottom line/revenue projections etc. when stakes are big.

    I am not saying its not multi-role ACo_O , it is meant to replacement for mig 21 squadrons.

    For point defence AC, the priority should have been arming with potent A2A weapons than testing A2G weaponry. Yes Tejas can be used for ground attacks no doubt & it can be used as multi-role but I am just noting that focus was changed last couple of years.

    LCA TEJAS MK1 & MK1A: News and Discussion

    Tejas was conceived as point defence fighter. These are real good developments like testing python/derby-er to add to arsenal. Before this - for couple of years now (observation) IAF had been rather testing Tejas for ground attack related operations rather than prioritizing these Air-to-air...

    @Bleh I remember previously there were flutter/vibration issues with python 5 integration. I was wondering how that was resolved?
