LCA TEJAS MK1 & MK1A: News and Discussion

[Annaa]

Any update on sp24, 25,26,27 ???
First flight???

Lets cancel the LCA. Its taken too much of time, effort, and money, without producing substantial results. Lets give Kashmir to Pak, Ladakh, Sikkim, and NE to China so that we can be friends. Lets then buy 20 squadrons of JF-17 from Pak, including naval variants(after we pay for its R&D). Lets then invade and destroy Vanuatu, whose government and armed forces are the biggest threats to Indian national security.

Limited ACMI systems purchased so transfer of technology not sought: Defence ministry to PAC
NEW DELHI: The defence ministry has told the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) that it did not include the transfer of technology (ToT) clause in the contract for procurement of around 100 air combat manouvering instrumentation (ACMI) systems from Israeli firm BVR System as only a "limited quantity" of these systems were being purchased.

Na , why would I personally attack anyone here , as if iam most serious of all here lol .
It was just a idle musing.

let's be honest guys
our,delivery of tejas,stinks
good plane but manufacturing capability is 3rd world level.

 

[MonaLazy]

manufacturing capability is 3rd world level.

That is verbose repetition- like ice is cold, or water is wet.. diminished manufacturing capability is the reason we are called 3rd world- those countries that successfully crested the wave of industrial revolution in the 1800s are what we call the first world today. But we are catching up!

another mig 21 crashed today and killed a pilot..
ffs when are we going to scrap.this 50.year old death traps.
we have a 4th generation fighter in house with superb safety features, yet our pilots are risking lives because we can't manufacture planes.and take three times as long to sign and agree deals .
I blame both the ministry of defense,and the air Force chiefs for leaving us in this debacle
Tejas should have reached 4 squadrons by now and Rafale should already be equipping 2 sqds with mig21 sitting in museums .
it's,pathetic that we have 3 trillion GDP and fly planes,that no air Force flys since the 1990s

Atleast they're crashing at much lower rates owing to regular acquisition of spares nowadays. Remember pre-2015?

"CLUTCHING ON STRAWS" : Since no news coming out about tejas foc inducted or not, was going through news and website. Got an interesting data.
4,985 test flights (as on February 16)(sp 19 and sp20 already had first flight by then)
4,998 test flights as of today.
Induction seems well inline. Just waiting for confirmation news.

Mig-21 should be replaced with Tejas asap...there should be additional order of this indigenous platform.
