    Indian Air Force Light Combat Aircraft Tejas India's Second Supersonic Fighter

    There is no requirement for such numbers, also by the time we'll produce 83rd MK1A MK2 will be ready for production, if everything goes as planned. But I think they should go for 83+40=123 MK1A. 83 is not large number to support pvt industry. If MK1A is a good platform and satisfies IAF's ASQR...

MK1A was thought during 2015 and what has happened after 3 years is still not known to any one. 3 years, for just integrating AESA, EWS & reducing some weight from the airframe. And remember they have given year 2021-22 for production of...

    By not ordering more MK1A IAF is not encouraging pvt industries to participate in LCA and develop a robust Aero industry. They must commit to MK1A, MK2 is distant future/dream for now. Must concentrate on current jet and think about foreign market. Nobody knows what will happen to MK2 by...

    You have completely missed the LCA information bus. MK1 means both IOC & FOC; MK1A means beyond FOC i.e. AESA, EW suite, Refueling probe ,etc; IAF has agreed to buy 83 MK1A. MK2 is completely different bird. Here it is. Don't thank me.
