no...dont expect it...if it happens...let it be a happy surprise

 

[omaebakabaka]

Will probably choose a cheap and easy to maintain fighter.

Can Tejas full fill this requirement?

How is a cheap interceptor the criteria, doesn't it have to be capable? It is better to not have one vs having an incapable one...its just some bluster from leftists or female vultures in power. I would not read much into it...

They would not consider Tejas

Can it launch in that position or the sensors will be out of whack?

i guess it can launch upside down with no issue (dont really think there should be any issues regarding that), haven't really seen an example of that happening tho.

I've lost all hopes now. No latest news coming out of Best Manager on planet Mr Madhavan.

I didn't talk about capability because going from turboprop to modern 4+ gen aircraft is itself a huge capability jump.
So would the Irish know exactly what they are looking for since the last fighter jet they used was many decades ago?

Edit: mistakenly wrote fighter "jet" above.
The Irish have never operated a jet fighter.



A section of Irish may want to move away from dependency from UK and have to overcome the resistance of those who prefer the status quo enough to commit a billion or so euros.

This is why I think easy maintenance and cheapness would be more important.

Irish are not irish anymore in spirit, bunch of chumps that will jump at orders from EU. Minus England, they will become bitches in no time.....they produce nothing other than tax free heavens. I am talking about NI and Scotts in context vs independent one....but they are the same already.

HAL don't fly them, IAF does. The 6 FOCs which are waiting there to be delivered is yet to be flight tested by IAF.

Wow ! This one takes the cake ! Why exactly they are waiting ?

The same reason why IN postponed the IAC1 sea trial. CHINESE VIRUS.

But it was supposed to over now and as per new deadline delivery will be resumed by July.

So DRDO is working on ejection seat too...

Meanwhile for Pakistan...

Necessary to make sure your aircrafts can be exported with ease.
