Believe what you want but DRDO/HAL have a very long history of making claims and announcing deadlines that they continually miss. The fact they have remained silent means matters may indeed be much worse then we imagibe.

Seems to be taking a heavy toll of men and equipment. Inevitably this may effect operational capability vis a vis Pakistam https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/iaf-chief-says-eastern-ladakh-situation-led-to-stretching-of-equipment-to-limits-101634824460535.html

This is a joke right? This is like when the Iranians showed off their "stealth fighter". This is a scale mode, does not even seem to be stealth. Look at the size of the wheels relative to the body, they are massive. Not much room for internal fuel and weapons when they retract, if they even do...

It's really interesting that PAF has chosen to replace the PGs instead of the Mirages first. I thought we would be keeping PGs on for at least another 10 years. PGs we inducted in mid 90s whilst some of the ROSE MIrages are from 1970s. So seems PAF deems them more worthy and will hold onto...

Well, we are approaching November, not much of the year left, and no announcment on Tejas deliveries. Furtehrmore in the past HAL only delivered one jet at a time (to much fanfare and media coverage) so the chances of a late and big surprise Christmas present in the form of 5 new Tejas waiting...

I realise this, I was referring to the possibility that if we sign an air corridor agreement this is something we can possibly negotiate

As Denmark, Netherlands, Norway and Belgium all induct F-35 now is time to get as many used F-16 airframes as possible (like we did with Mirages), all of the Euro ones are MLU'd. Lets not order anything from Yanks just get them to clear these sales and engines for T129, we know we cannot trust...

You hit the nail on the head here mate. "Wait for"...... Everyone has been waiting and waiting. IAF has been waiting. First flight of LCA was 20 years ago. MK1A has still not flown yet. Trust me when I say all of PAF and PLAFF and indeed the forum is happy with the waiting. As HAL is...

Problems? Such as limited range and payload of Tejas due to small size. Yes, major problem for Pakistan.....

Menacing? These planes are small and unarmed, What are you on? Crack?

OK, lets stick to the topic. Right now, HAL has no SU-30s MKIS being made, No deliveries of Tejas this year and paying France to build Rafales in France. MRCA was first tabled in 2001. It is now 2021. F-16s, and F-18s are being replaced. The Europeans are already designing replacements for...

8 more arriving next month? Do you have a source for this or is this yet another example of the BS you routinely post on here?

Yeah, credit to the guy, not a single Tejas delivered this year but he still has the chutzpah to go all out on it....

You are the gift that keeps on giving on this forum.....

Depends, US have been trying to develp such a weapon for quick convnetional global strike. If you can launch many of these with accurate and conventional warheads who can win the war even before the enemy knows what has happened....

I see the Turks have arrived with ACMI pods.....

The part that made me, and I dare say much of the forum laugh judging by the responses on this thread, is that despite a Tejas first flight in in 2001, 20 years later you are spamming the forum celebrating a 14 plane fly past as some sort of milestone..... To put it in perespective this would...

No, with Hypersonic missiles SSBNs become less of an issue, important but only as a second strike weapon, as Hypersonic missiles can surpise very quickly now

Firstly well done on being unbanned. Secondly thanks for posting the funniest vedio and giving us all a laugh. Keep it up.

Why are you surprised? It's not just a matter of weight, its aircraft structure, centre of gravity and dimensions that are also taken into account and may not be suitable for C-17 carriage. So no need to be "surprised". Also IAF has only 10 C-17s, assume only 6-7 available, then you can move...
