The future is non-PSU units taking over complex defense aerospace projects. Tata has done it, Mahindra, Adani and L&Ts are planning to soon enter. I would like to see all the lethargic HAL employee thrown out with VRS.
Yes, if the MoD and HAL are your partners then it's better to stay away and save billions of investor money. In 15 years of starting AMCA the ADA/HAL duo couldn't produce 15 proper wind tunnel models. Nobody is trusting the current management with the execution of this project.
IAF has already raised alarms with lca delivery and instead of addressing this they are waiting for Mr. Uddhghatan(Inauguration) to score some PR points during MCC.
Imagine IAF going to war and looking for immediate availability of jets and babus at HAL denying to deliver the jet as Mr. Inauguration hasn't provided his precious time even working for 28 hours in a day.
MK1A 1st flight doesn't need much PR, MoD could have done the job with decent media time.
Well you have to accept a fact that HAL IS THE ONLY COMPANY IN INDIA CAPABLE OF MAKING AN AIRCRAFT while we can overlook the fact that hal has delivered very well in helicopter programs
your beloved non psu guys have blatently said no to fighter projects cause they lack experience not cause hal or others are shit
whats the problem with doing pr (if they didnt do you gonna say why so shit pr) the plane has already been rolled out so the spot is empty and as we are talking another tejas would be getting ready there
making manufaturing lines arnt easy it takes heavy investment too hal is also making too many things which i guess you would overlook
and as a final thing to say most of tejas mk1a parts are made by beloved private vendors and hal only assembles them
iaf aint gonna go to war till at least 2030 when taiwan capture is completed by our winne the poo
