LCA TEJAS MK1 & MK1A: News and Discussion

[FalconSlayers]

The main issue with Kaveri is not with Metallurgy, but the design itself. The present Kaveri uses DMD4 DS blades and had a TeT of 1700K. Imagine , what will be the TeT if we use DMS4 SC Blade, it will easily surpass 1900K. There is no problem with our core, its absolutely fine, that's the reason why we are using it in Ghatak UCAV.
DRDO can develop 110KN engine on its own,all the required building blocks like SCBs ,TBCs ,New Intake Fan etc are ready,but they don't want design issues like in Kaveri and they don't want to risk this time,hence they are involving RR. The reason we are getting full IPR is,we are using our own tech, not theirs and then the Brits will get required money to develop Tempest engine. Win-Win for both.

The engine we are making is also next generation engine, not existing tech engine.

These Malaysians are doing over the top drama for 12 jets

We had a requirement for 126 Rafales, we bought 36 and kept the rest of requirement for 114 Rafales under MRCA, similarly Malaysian Airforce tender for lightweight fighter aircraft is of 36 i.e. 2 combat ready squadrons, so they will increase the number in future.

Seems relevant now!
Was reported exactly a month ago, now Malaysians are coming for a ride.

I have never before been involved with a website where loathing of people of a particular religion is so crudely expressed, so disgusting, so infantile. I thought this was a medium to report news of Indian military aviation and to discuss the same.

I find the hate and insults I read offensive.

My partner lives in north-west London. She has her religion. To one side of her house the neighbours are Jewish. To the other side Indian Hindu. Across the road Pakistani Muslim. People of 4 different religions all get on well. Some contributors to this site should try raising their humanity to a higher level. It makes for a better life.

The only valid point in this rant is "This specific forum i.e. LCA forum is not right place to discuss evil of Islamofascism". Rest all is humbug.

Ya'll Nibbiare and what are they going to pay with?. Palm oil.

In Future, what kind of jammer will tejas and its variants will carry? right now its carries ELM-8222.

Palm oil in Barter for a few more Tejas, seems good as if we (HAL) get money we’ll (HAL) spend it on imports, if we get palm oil, our FMCG industries will get huge turnover giving more advantage to Our economy.

Just to update you:

A new Home Office report admits grooming gangs are not a ‘Muslim problem' | Ella Cockbain and Waqas Tufail

The study finds no credible evidence for a far-right stereotype that has spread widely in the media, say crime academics Ella Cockbain and Waqas Tufail

www.theguardian.com

Indeed, I was under the impression that an inordinate number of muslim men of Pakistani-heritage were involved. Not Asian, specifically muslims of Pakistani origin. It appears that was not actually so. However, it could be that among people whose families had migrated to England, an inordinate number of Pakistani-heritage muslim men were involved. That is my guess. I certainly never read in the paper or heard on the radio/TV of anyone of any other Asian origin being involved.

Well. OK. I'd be surprised if most offenders in the UK were not white. The UK is about 80% white and Pakistani Asians are just over 2% of the population.

The report seems to tiptoe around the matter ,that certain ethnic groups might be disproportionately represented.
(anyway, ,this thread is about Tejas. I don't want to derail it. So, I'll leave it there)


"The Home Office paper into the “characteristics” of such gangs, first promised by the former home secretary Sajid Javid in 2018, says while some studies show a possible overrepresentation of black and Asian offenders, it is not possible to conclude this is representative of all grooming gangs.

The review was published after criticism that victims of child abuse had been failed because of fear of accusations of racism.

It said: “Research has found that group-based child sexual exploitation offenders are most commonly white. Some studies suggest an overrepresentation of black and Asian offenders relative to the demographics of national populations. However, it is not possible to conclude that this is representative of all group-based CSE (child sex exploitation) offending.

“This is due to issues such as data-quality problems, the way the samples were selected in studies, and the potential for bias and inaccuracies in the way that ethnicity data is collected.”

..........................

Nazir Afzal, the former chief crown prosecutor in the north-west, who brought prosecutions over the Rochdale grooming gangs, welcomed the report. “It confirms that white men remain the most common offenders, which is something rarely mentioned by rightwing commentators,” he said.

“However, it is not shy in reflecting that south Asian and British Pakistani men are disproportionately found in high-profile cases.

“The danger is that by focusing entirely on the ethnicity of the offender, we miss the bigger picture, which is how the unheard, the left-behind women and girls, are invariably the victims. That’s where the government’s attention and action should be primarily focused.”

Export export .... Lol... When we are unable to delivery to our forces on time, advocating export is a fools advice... Instead buy from all sources throughout the world and maintain 42 squardons...

Tell us once the deal is done...aisa na ho Malaysians buy Junk 17 at last moment..

May be.... But when enemy inside your door, you should not be talking about to gift your weapons to friend in return of chocolates... How much can we earn with tejas export while 70 percent of its equipment are imported.... Better go for 90 more Rafael... 126 f15 ex.... 126 grippen.... Yes we have to ramp up tejas production for us only....

What about raising production? If there is an export market for, say, 50+ Mk1A for delivery 2025 onwards, why not raise capacity to 24 a year from 16? If exports are not forthcoming, IAF can be supplied earlier. Also, if IAF find they like Mk1A after it enters service and would like to buy more, more could be supplied. Alternatively, once MWF starts production, MWF could be delivered more quickly. IAF needs more fighters fast, doesn't it?

+90 Rafale
+126 F15 EX
+126 Gripen E/F

That wouldn't be a logistical nightmare at all

Which country will important from us where we are unable to produce enough for iaf.... We may think about exporting tejas after 2028 when we r able to fulfill our own demands... Just think as a buyer when we even reject mighty su57 as their engine is not ready and it is not enough stealth according to us.... So which will buy from us when there alternative available in market....

 

[Ashok84]

+90 Rafale
+126 F15 EX
+126 Gripen E/F

But that's how can we maintain 42 squdrons.... Just have to leave in present not after 15 years.... When enemy might have combined 150 squadrons....

 

[FalconSlayers]

90 more Rafael... 126 f15 ex.... 126 grippen....

I think HAL chief said that it can increased in case of export orders. IAF would benefit also with increased rate. However unless IAF operates good number of them, it will difficult to convince other nations. Our defense attaches will have to play a major role here.
