As always, pretty great job @Bleh and @Kuntal bros.
Added a bit more prominent jet-wash, unfortunately the sun had to go because I'm not skilled enough to handle the colour variation... Consider this another version.

Both look great, probably not the same thing but I just tried adding motion blur to the previous pic though should have edited the one with 'afterburner' still visible...

Nobody has yet answered to me who are the people that hold up deals and bring up arbitrary, last minute barricades to things being signed

edit: "Dalal" does not cut it.

Interchagibility of parts amongst a squadron is not a mid term request. That is the expected behavior of production aircraft all across the world. All aircraft have it. Without such interchangeability maintenance will suffer. IAF merely asked HAL to deliver a proper aircraft.
Honest questions...

what does it imply when some body says "Interchagibility of parts amongst a squadron" .

My understanding is that IAF wants parts be replaced between 2 tejas within same squadron or what is complexity here ,,,,,

Quite honestly surprised at the shallowness of the members, with random twitter eating members bad-mouthing HAL for mk1A deal. Guess they are too cowardish to call out the government for they are the stumbling block in signing an deal for Tejas and even LCH, add to that host of indigenous systems starting from Atags, Arjun to FICV.

The government doesn't have the focking money. IAF already owns HAL 20k crores. It has paid private sub vendors out of its own pocket that it was forced to get an loan to pay its own employees. For this deal, HAL needs money to start the project. On LCH they have started building with their own funds, cos the govt isn't going to give approval.

For all HAL faults, MK1A is not their fault. Even the delay in FOC aircrafts is not their faults. If some had ever worked in manufacturing (mech or electronics) they would know once a product is taken to Manufacturing, you can't redesign the product. IAF wanted more changes and HAL has accommodated those.

Armchairs IT people.who have probably never spent an day in work benches, eat garbage in Twitter and then come here to vomit the garbage.

Go and question the govt here and on your Twitter handle. And then if HAL can't deliver what they promised, then blame them. I would join you folks.

Weak, very weak. The government doesn't have the money for Mk1A or Arjun or FICV or whatever but certainly has money for Rafale, T90, more Mig29, run to Russia when China is knocking on the door begging for anything. Give me a break. Chutiya, use your dimaag before talking nonsense.

edit: And if you look and think, a lot of people, including me, have called out Mullah (because that's what Modi really is) for being extremely weak on domestic policy, not just military affairs.

Chill.. Rafale and Mig 29 were much needed respite in the situation new were in bringing and trying to criticize that is stupid.

Arjun is a dead end there isn't much gov can do FICV is still in dev phase Gov did initiated BMP upgrade etc program. In T-90 deal it's the license fees which costed us rest money will go to OFB.

Mk1a will be signed it's not going to delay it's induction let it fly first.

Yes your understanding is correct. IAF doesn't that within the same squadron different aircraft should use different parts as it would be a maintenance nightmare
