say, any chance of HLFT-42 becoming Mig-21 replacement ?
> based on old era interceptor-strike aircraft design of HF-24
> instead of modern fibre composite structures, going back to conventional metal alloys one to speed up production
> with a powerful GE F404 // F414 class engine can achieve considerable speeds
> ability to carry lots of missiles

so HLFT-42 becoming F-5 Tiger // F-20 Tigershark like alternative here to Mig-21 while Tejas Mk2, TEDBF//ORCA and AMCA etc taking up space of Mig-29, Mirage-200, Jaguar and Su-30MKI etc etc in future ?

maybe but Mig-21 was mass produce-able aircraft here, thoroughout its production here we made 800+ some of different variants and kept retiring previous ones and supplementing them with newer ones (also kept crashing-supplementing 😒 etc)
this HLFT-42 also seems similar in that regard that it can be mass produce-able thing, hence me think in previous post

Looking forward to its first flight.

View attachment 193535

30000 t service ceiling with an endurance of 18+ hours. This surely will be a gamechanger for us.
Some people on twitter claimed that it's a license production of Israeli UCAVs, but this one looks more like a Indigenous UCAV based on the Technologies developed for Tapas
