[onlinpunit]

2 with IAF. 4 with HAL should be transferred by EOM. Rest might be delayed by few months maybe second quarter of 2022.

Even MK2 is delayed because of covid

The four Jets with HAL are there since March..

Did I get to see greenery only at Hashimara Air Force Station near the runway , so maybe it is from Hashimara Air Force Station, do not pay attention to the LGB but pay attention to the greenery that is visible around the runway
Any other guses

They are making them Breed. So they can reproduce more jets...

Meanwhile IAF doing IAF stuff with the one delivered jet... Regularly flying triple-tank.

What is "cranked delta wings"?

Wing which is not a perfect triangle but crancked in its upper part.Look at Tejas' wing. Look at saab wiggen wing.

Do we know who is responsible for the Tejas project? Do we know who is responsible for the most pushback against it? I'm dead serious. We need to start thinking about where the opposition is coming from.

This is multi level national failure (i.e. delivery/manufacturing delays) + learning to optimize & buildup tier I/II + unexpected covid disruptions. It will be very hard learning step for all entities and no single point of failure..

How do you hold any individual accountable when people keep saying xyz is the reason for it? The push must come from the top. Who are the heads that are slow rolling this?

There was past to it which doesn't matter. IAF ordering 83 Mk1a atleast ensured that IAF has thrown the ball in HAL's lap and it was upto them to gain the trust. After ther order of Mk1a, i have nothing against IAF for now. Of course if HAL keeps lagging then MWF will face the brunt and IAF will have justification to have their own say which many of us will not like maybe.

But then again, I don't think it's a big deal honestly. Covid has screwed up a lot, HAL seems like they didn't learn from the last year, atleast by now they should have refined their procurement from different companies considering they already got the deal signed for MK1a.

Covid along with i guess the integration of python 5, maybe soon astra mk1 are the probable reason for the delay. Shouldn't wait for one more year to get a better picture and maybe predict how mk1a delivery will happen till then most of the news is just speculation with nothing of value.

Considering the status of HAL it seems that's the only way to produce more Jets.

What exactly IAF do in case HAL delays production of MK1A by 5-6 years ! .
