LCA TEJAS MK1 & MK1A: News and Discussion

[Bleh]

Bdw
Don't be surprised if Tejas shots down
Or gets shot down
If the cap from both side become s a skirmish

Tejas IOC will be nowhere near action.

Posted that Tejas ioc was all set to be deployed in forward areas in case of war after Feb 27
Then he deleted post ,after moderator asked him to do so
Again why not Tejas ioc ,when it is more capable than mig21 bis which fought against f16;

Rest assured until FOC Tejas 1st squadrons is commissioned there would be no Tejas at forward bases. We don't want to have attrition rate of 1:1 .

Tejas is a multirole fighter ( IOC or FOC ) and they will be deployed at forwards base once need arrive. There is not always dog fight some day they just do ground attack or close support. Specially for IOC until unless it have BVR capability ( may soon get ) it will be not deployed for patrolling.

A swarm of mk1a and a few surkis will be enough for porkies front while MWF, few rafales, orca and amca should be kept for the chinkies. At the same time we need to increase the presence of awac n netras in the sky. At the same time Our vbraam capabilities should be kept superior to adversaries.

There are quite a lot of changes in FOC Tejas when compared with IOC Tejas, with BVR firing capability being the biggest.
I would not want a jet which cannot fire BVR missiles on my forward bases.
FOC Tejas is likely to be deployed at forward bases.

Development of Tejas is like a new Rajnikanth movie, Half of it is slo-mo

IAF to buy 83 more Tejas fighters from HAL instead of foreign jets, CDS Rawat says
New Delhi: India plans to switch to locally-made fighter jets, two years after asking global companies to submit proposals to supply 114 combat aircraft in the world’s biggest warplane contract.

The induction of Tejas will help India emerge as a key defence exporter due to its ‘relatively low price’, Rawat says.

It is the same old deal of 123 fighter jets 40 + 83. The article is nothing new. Slow work day.

 

[Raj Malhotra]

My suspicion = Order for 83 LCA MKIA is being delayed to create fiscal space for ordering 36 more Rafales

May be MMRCA would be cancelled to protect LCA Mk1A; Buying 36 Rafales off-the-shelf now is a mockery of PM mantra of "AtmaNirbhar Bharat" vision but we have see how the delivery of couple of batches of Rafale turns out. Possibly, the deal may be announced in 2022-23 when Covid dust gets settled and economy starts flourishing.
IMO, 36+36 Imported Rafales are sufficient for India's immediate strategic needs. Rest could be managed by inducting MWF & AMCA in numbers to fill the short-falls in technological leap.

Putting 5th gen F-22/F-35 in the same pedestal as with LCA/Eurofighter is a bit rich. Better would be to compare Teen series (F-16/F-18 etc.) or Mirage 2K for program conceptualization to induction. In fact, this is more important for LCA as most of the flight controls like RSS, FBW etc. are strongly influenced by F-16 and M2K.

That's all right mate but the planes above are of different weight category and almost all of them double engine.
For comparison Gripen took just 8 years from its first flight in 1988 to introduction in 1996.

For how many years Sweden is building aircraft? They had a proper industry to manufacturer engineers from whole EU to guide them they were not having sanctions already had a partnership with US for engine technology.
If we keep American aircraft aside in generation wise SAAB Grippin Euro fighter And rafale fall in the same category.
Tejas design wise is second to non and have much more advanced design than mirage - 2000.
And not to forget a corrupted airforce which wanted to kill indigenous platform at every single step.

Seems you got a hit by a contrary argument !
My point was that the chart was good for information for not for comparison. There is a fine line that distinguish between a rational admirer and a delusional fan-boy. I was wondering if that comparison stats taking it too far.
For comparison part, I would certainly like to contribute for comparing LCA development time with M2K/F-16 program. Will post it soon.

So why did Americans developed aircraft so quickly in. 1970s - 1980s but slowed down after that?
Buddy because soviet union fall down funding and support to equipment decreased. That's the reason why Euro fighter was slowly developed and rafale was also developed with ezzz.

Btw do compare the level of funding which F-16 received with what tejas received.
