We have many limitations compared to China and USA, Japan or France like econony or industry. But lathergic babus taking long time to move files, politicians not showing intefest to sanction project or no accountability from DRDO/HAL, bad lroject management... all of these do not need money but...

Yeah, thats the main issue. They already supplied drones. Most of Turkish weapons will be in the hands of pakis.

If they are spending millions to lure foreign talents its good for them. China and SK also did same and gained in tech. What stopping Rajnath Singh from doing so?

Miscommunication between two MoD entities, that also situated few kms away. may caused tax payers 10s of crores of $$$. Thats why i was always shouting about project amangement office and accountability from DRDO and HAL. This is freaking shamefil! Also tbere are many concession on ff and many...

This video below from 2019, an example of Turkey's advancement in defence. Dont forget Byraktr drones. Another is we are taking ToT from Turkey for fleet support ship which will be built by HSL, Vizag. Though i oppose it as same HSL makes our nuclear submarines. Many of their techs are not...

Turkey is not Iran. Dont take it just another muslim country. they are good in defence tech. Thanks to NATO and other collaborations with Europe and US.

Thats what i meant, HAL, IAF, all under MoD. Than why play this game? It is like left hand accusing right hand for delay. HAL management should be replaced with private industry corporates along with IAC officers. PMO should be set up for all projects. Sell 51% of the shares to a private co...

For that to fulfill all users reqs HAL need to up the production first. Tge way they produced first 40 does not boost the morale. Now IAF had to request them to stick to the Mk1a agreement! lol

Tejas mk1a has new DFCC and upgraded FBW fcs.

So are the koreans. lots of indians works in airbus and boeing but india never learned bcoz hal is run by govt babus. Kudos to prvt cos... even start ups like Skuroot... Way to go.. just look at their presentations... :hail::hail::hail:

agreed, ac assembly plants are very very primitive. extremely poor tech applied.. soviet type.

Much better than Russian aircrafts, but not upto Western.

Great, when inducted Mk1a will be more capable than MKI, only second to Rafale in IAF.

If FF is by Feb March 2024 when will the induction happen? According to contract the first aircraft must be delivered within 36 months, which is March 2024...

According to contract signed, first aircraft must be delivered by March 2024.

Thanks. Is there any source for this info?

Ready to manufacture and having a GaN based fighter aircraft AESA are two different things bro. DRDO chiefs talking (specially Mr Christoph used to talk in much advance :frusty: ) about GaN radars for very long time, but till now i have not seen any tested. GaN MMICs are being tested only. But...

Yes, tech is ready. May be next year we will see first Uttam with GaN. But as mentioned by someone earlier we did not have mass production of GaN for fighter radar few years back. We surely had for lab tests. Developing/testing and manufacturing are two diffefent things. I can see GAETEC and...

May be next year but not 6 7 years back as mentioned.

Please do not believe the DRDO chiefs blindly. GaN HEMTs may be availavle for land or naval radars but info about large scale production of X band for min version for fighter aircraft AESA is not available as of now.
