Did they start testing with radar? did LCA get new radome?

You mean its completely TOT i.e. there is nothing which was indigenously made is being used? Well then someone exp like Sancho, Sandy can throw some light

"Defence Aviation has learnt that the radar was a Hybrid version of Israel’s Elta EL/M-2032 which is currently in service with Indian Navy on its Sea Harrier fleet. The radar is mechanically steered and most components are of Indian origin. The processor of the radar is of Israeli origin similar...

IMHO in the end it would be a hybrid similar what we have in MK1 ( i.e. 2032 + Ind stuff). As developing Aesa in the stipulated time is not possible ( Looking at our past record). Or may be Desi Aesa is tagetted for MLU of Mk2

Now I believe the 2052 Aesa is on offer - Advanced Systems Improve Tejas’ Fighting Skills - Defense Update - Military Technology & Defense News Earlier it was barred due to MMRCA competition which now US fighters have lost. Pl comment... Tx

Can you please let us know if there is any plan to improve the air inlet design in MK2 as MK1's main problem seems to be air intakes ( read it some where) due to which its not able to deliver the thrust. Thanks in Advance...

LCA Tejas - Specifications: Powerplant The Engines Performance mentioned here is wrong? as far as I know its 19000 lb.

Can anyone please tell me why we are still using liquid propulsion even though we have mastered solid propulsion? I was under the impression that Shourya will be replacing this old system ( Is that correct?) Thanks in Advance...

The Problem is not IAF is not taking indigenous products, we currently do not have a product to induct! the first 40 fighters are only for training/acclimatization and they will not see combat duty due to thrust issues. IAF needs MK2 for combat duty which is still at drawing board. so we cannot...

Maiden engine relight test of Tejas held - The New Indian Express By Anantha Krishnan M - BANGALORE Published: 28th September 2013 08:25 AM Last Updated: 28th September 2013 08:25 AM The Light Combat Aircraft Tejas successfully completed its maiden engine relight test on Friday -- a critical...

I Do not know whether this is posted or not... saw this in BR. pretty interesting... The Tejas Arrives…… | TKS' Tales My mind dwelt on the time of the later part of 1982. I had then settled down as the Air Officer Commanding (AOC) at Jamnagar, having moved there after a very exciting...

Hi Halloweene, My query is --> 1. Is the Indian Gov negotiating for 126 fighters or are we going for add-on 66 fighters in the initial order? 2. How is the pricing going to change with additional numbers? (If any) 3. What is the total price of this deal ( rough number like 10 billion Euros...

My thought was PakFA had too many public appearances/demo flights in airshows than what was needed. I mean F22/F35 did not have this kind of display...

My thought was it offers similarity with Arjun which seems to be much better than T-90 wrto perf. and also we can save soome foriegn exchange. Is this not true?

WTF.. What happened to Tank Ex, I thought this will be the logical next step. Tank EX - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Can anyone please help me understand why this is not getting done.

Does it mean it Fired Derby? Kinda confused as there seems to be some problem with Radome and last heard was BVR will be tested only after Radome issue is fixed.

Livefist: Launch Of India's 1st Indigenous Aircraft Carrier On Aug 12 According to above report both are same. And also Barak 8 is available for integration as per below news PressTV - Israeli regime equips warships with Barak 8 missiles Am I missing something.

Thanks for the Reply Well if the life lost is say 10 % then may be OK. provided the end user is happy. Current News/reports says that MK1 is not going to be used in Combat.

Also the Max (Wet) Thrust is given as 89.854 for IN20 engine. source Turbofan and turbojet engines: database handbook - Élodie Roux - Google Books

I Have a query. The thrust of the current engine 404 is not enough for the IAF and I do believe that there will be a wartime setting ( extra thrust) for 404. Isn't it possible to use this setting for initial order so that with extra thrust IAF would feel better? I know that engine life will get...
