LCA tejas fighting fit

Joe Shearer said:

I'm not sure I've understood. Here's the media saying it was a bad example of Make in India gone berserk. Here's the media-watcher promptly announcing that the media have been bought. Why bought? Why not just derisive of the juxtaposition of the decision to procure more Tejas with the announcement of the Make in India initiative?

And the explanation of this slew of hostile articles, from very different sources, is that there was a pay-master? Perhaps, could it have been the BJP itself, trying to claim credit and watching in horror as it backfired with precision and lasting damage?

I'm was commenting on two references made in different posts of yours where you first made the point that the government was not involved but then went on make a comment about "56" which kind of suggested that those giving credit should not be doing so to Mr.Modi but anyone critiquing him on the very same issue was quite okay & no motive should be attributed there. I'm aware of your dislike for the government & the PM but that seemed more than a bit unfair.





Perhaps, and I'm sure there will be those who will make that argument. Only fair that a similar leeway be applied to comments coming in the opposite direction. Though if you look at these stories from the supposedly different sources, the only argument to make (since you have already demolished the substance of their claim) is to suggest they all caught a very nasty virus at the very same time which caused this mass outbreak of incompetence. Would you then not be interested in the source of the outbreak?

I guess they want to keep the line busy as long as mk2 isnt ready
If they are going for 16 per year....the production will complete in 7 n half years that is when mk2 comes out
Mk2 will go into serial production only after 2023-25

If they are producing more then production line will be empty for a couple of years(based on less orders and the delays that gonna happen) which will not be good for HAL

Lets see how all this turns out

just compare the spects of Tejas with pakistani jf17 , Tejas has upper hand over JF17. another thing, unlike jf17, Tejas is made of carbon composites, while jf17 has aluminium body so tejas is more stealthy.

I am flummoxed to note that if the LCA Tejas is damned as an obsolete fighter, then the entire squadrons of Chinese and Pakistani fighters would qualify as virtual tin cans. For example, the much touted Chinese JF-17 Thunder (often referred to as Blunder is many forums) by the Pakistanis is a Mikoyan MiG-21 in disguise or the J-10B is all but a spruced up Israeli Lavi Fighter which both are decades old.
