ADA Tejas (LCA) News and Discussions

[Prashant12]

The #Tejas about to take-off with the afterburners lit

 

[Rahul Singh]

NG: The IAF is often seen as reluctant user of indigenously-built Tejas aircraft. Is that philosophy changing? Does the IAF still think it is a good aircraft but not yet a good enough combat jet? Are you working with ADA and HAL to improve Tejas? What changes would you like to see in Tejas so that it forms the bulk of the IAF inventory in the coming decade?

CAS: The LCA is a potent platform which is being inducted to replace the ageing MiG-21 fleet and will fulfill its assigned role and tasks. As far as improvements are concerned, the LCA Mk-1A will have better capabilities such as AESA Radar, integrated Electronic Warfare Suite, long range Beyond Visual Range missile, Air to Air Refueling and better avionics with many maintainability improvements. The LCA Mk 2,which will have further enhancements, is at the design stage. We are also working with DRDO for the indigenous AMCA program.

In the interview Air Chief says
MK1A replaces Mig 21.
MK2 as replacement for Mirage, Jaguar & Mig 29. There is no mention of Mig27. Does that mean that MK1A will also replace them ?

Rafales will replace MIG 27....

 

[Rahul Singh]

Tejas to participate in the upcoming Gaganshakti Exercise 2018.

 

[Kshithij]

Rafales will replace MIG 27....

MiG27 is not an advanced combat aircraft. It is a CAS aircraft. Even Tejas MK1A is better than it

Yup. But Rafales will replace those sqdns. Rafales are coming in a big way and will replace many of the fighters. Even jaguars sqdns will get replace by Rafales.

With a new RFI just out and linking of this new tender to AMCA, how are more Rafales coming? How is that a given? How will Rafale replace all the fighters you say while COAS says LCA will replace the said aircraft?

 

[lcafanboy]

Lca Mk1A and mk2 will replace mig 21 and lower end requirements. Rafales will be replacing High end requirements. FGFA might not come with Putin playing games with India. AMCA will be ready by 2035 only not before and will be 5.5 gen Fighter and will borrow many sub systems from Rafales.

Look at IAF latest RFI it's tailored for Rafales no other fighter can fulfill norms Gripen, no chance since LCA mk2 is comparable, f-16s 18s 35s uncle Sam won't allow Indian manufacturing MIG 35 ugh, eurofighter it's game over since india wants nuclear capable fighters. But the version India is buying is Rafales f4 and will come after 2025 and will be comparable to su57 so Fgfa will be axed.

The deal major asks for AMCA clause. MIG29UPG is no low end aircraft, and it will be replaced BY TEJAS MK2, while mig21 and Mig27 will be replaced by LCA MK1 MK1A

Already french refused rafale ToT for local assembly. They r saying 85% local assembly. Again cost of 115 rafales will reach $30 billions.
This will end up as MRCA2 tender

French refused tot to HAL but now tot will be given to DRAL in which Dassault has 51% stake and to other private vendors like samtel and many Indo French JV vendors. Cost of Indian Rafales will be lower as plant cost is already amortized through offset money. While snecma kaveri engine will be the actual bonus which India may get.

Actually if rafale is produced in cost will be even more. Look at su30. Indian production cost is more than russian.Atleast HAL has thousands of employees and 70 year experience in assembling jets. This anil ambani phoney company has non of them. Anil ambani is a failed bussiness man with lakhs of crore debt to indian and Chinese banks. I will not surprised if he end up like Vijay mallaya in near future

Even know the deal with Russians, we have to import the materials for every part, cutting a part from the material eventually costs more since then the materials are wasted as they aren't cannibalized for other part due to the part contract... DRAL Is a JV not an anil Ambani.. The machineries in the DRAL are French.... HAL with 70 years of experience has little idea of business. One of the major MMRCA failure reason was guarantee on HAL made Rafale which Dassault refused to offer since HAL didn't went for French precision tooling but issued a global tender ...

LCA(Tejas) carried out Air Defence & Live Strike missions from a forward base. Multirole Capabilities of #LCA will go a long way in incorporating this platform in the Ops.

 

[patriots]

waiting for this video ....but in all above photo. .Tejas is unarmed .........
..........................only drop tanks

Yeah absolutely..most irritating part. If you want to do PR and Psyops - you better do it correctly. Nothing about this configuration says strike missions , even LDP is not present

#GaganShakti2018 : #LCAOps Major IAF level exercise Gagan Shakti has started from 11 Apr 18. This year over 1100 aircraft have been deployed at their operational locations. This exercise is also unique as LCA, our indigenous fighters are being deployed at forward bases. During the first phase of the exercise, today all the deployed LCA aircraft had participated. The operational efficiency and mission worthiness of these platforms would be put to test in a real time intense exercise environment. A milestone towards ‘Make in India’, LCA will employ Close Combat and Beyond Visual Range Air to Air missiles in a simulated scenario apart from Air to Ground weapons.
The IAF has consistently encouraged the development of indigenous defence production capability and capacities. A look at the past demonstrates the IAF’s participation and promotion of indigenization programs. It is proud moment for our test pilots as they have been involved in its development since 1990’s.
This versatile multirole fighter would be put through its operational paces towards validating concepts. Ex-Gaganshakti will test the LCA across a varied spectrum encompassing Air Defence and Strike capabilities amongst others. The employment of LCA in the exercise will go a long way in incorporating its capabilities in the operational matrix of the IAF.

LCA will show bvr capabilities.....then lsp8 will be their or ....ioc... versions produced after bvr test has the capability to fire bvr??
