You are not thinking from the POV of the photographer. Glossy blue >> Drab Tipnis grey.

It's not light blue, it's grey. Looks like a throwback to the old Indian navy paint scheme.

It looks blue to me. But I am no expert on colors. << See, I even get the spelling wrong.

Perhaps N-LCA.

Any idea where this pic was taken from?

Can't be NLCA, the beefy landing gear comes out from the side rather than the bottom. Also, the nose droop and cockpit hump isn't there.

Could be at HAl airport.

Why the hell ADA not updating the specifications of LCA mk1. It's empty weight is way less than 6.5t . I also think that they must upload specifications of LCA mk2 because a source close to me from HAL informed me that production of first prototype of LCA mk2 has started.
