IAF gets 3 bids, as it extends the deadline for the MTA program – Indian Defence Research Wing

This looks bogus but I also have the same doubt regarding the weight limitation.

 

[Fatalis]

This can be one possible replacement for Il-76.

That dude is also affiliated with Battle Axes, which is one of the best Indian DCS content makers that I've seen. They're fairly realistic in operation, too

Ya'll Nibbiars Do you knew that the MIG 29 Trainers don't have a radar, through they have a IRST.

Yeap, the original UB variants dont have Radar, but the KUB variant does have radar. The KUB is almost a mini Flanker

La Fuerza Aérea de la India analiza como futuro avión de entrenamiento al IA-63 Pampa III

Según informara la revista Aviationweek & Space Technology, la Fuerza Aérea de la India analiza al posible reemplazante de sus veteranos entrenadores

Recent news of the IAF expressing interest on the IA.63 "Pampa" trainer, could lead to something...or nah.

It isn't recent news AFAIK. The IAF had at one time sent out a Request for Info on an Intermediate Trainer requirement. This was when the HJT-36 program had stalled completely in 2016 thanks to issues that came up during stall testing. It required serious re-design which delayed the program and for a while it appeared that the HJT-36 program was as good as dead.

That's when the IAF's RFI went out to a few manufacturers including Alenia for it's M-345 and IA for the Pampa III

This RFI no longer is relevant and the HJT-36 has completed the 6 turn spin trials on both right and left sides successfully.
