There are 4 lines in India planned over time with simple production schedules
LWF LCA line 2018 onwards - HAL as of now + may include a future private line
MMRCA line 2021+ - Rafale
LWF line - 2022-23+ - can be F16, Gripen E as LCA Mk2 and LSA as LCA Mk2 as well
Heavy 5th Gen fighter 2026+ -...
RIP bravehearts. The nation wont forget your supreme sacrifice.
Pls use this thread only for paying respect to the martyrs and sincere condolence messages.
NO TROLLING or any other topic post in this.
Do not bring any other issue and link it here
Strictly for paying respect and condolences...
You think they will stop.. Most probably we will see them shifted to members section for entertainment value part. But yes rest BD folks can build a decent section without these kind of threads for sure.
@kobiraaz @Rain Man
It is not that i have not understood that dilemma of having no sub section for BD, but for that only the idea is to first collate everything non defence in Central and South Asia and finally divide it into multiple sub section based on countries like India, BD, etc and rest...
I refrained from the morning this thread simply bcz of the emotional aspects running wild.
Priority atm should be to give the martyrs a proper send off and also see to it that within next 24 hours their remains reach their family and their hometown for last rites.
In next 24/36 hours a CCS...
The weapon systems, part of the deal, will also include the new-age beyond visual range missile ‘Meteor’, and Israeli helmet-mounted display. (@Abingdonboy @GuardianRED )

Yes the engine uprating is on the cards.. But i am more worried about LCA as i am having a strong feeling a sperate LWF is coming.
See below my discussion with Skull and Bones..
Essentially HAL itself is killing tejas
2000 posts and you can become senior member. Use the indian political and economical threads and post or else use the currecnt topics post and you will get there in max 2-3 days or else a week or 10 days max
If you are saying about FOC its already postponed. The project status with the progress is not very good atm. The planes are being built a bit too slow. The way it looks even meeting the first 20 order will be a very big challenge
Its just that Vstol has asked me not to reveal the details under technology and offsets and let it leak or revealed naturally. So i am waiting for natural course.
No I am not there in PSK blog. I went to read there bcz 2 way link question has been harped a lot in BR forum and also how the mod there believes Su35 is a better option than Rafale even though it was never in MMRCA. I was hoping PSK would shed some more light and leak the offset and...
Adding to what is already said by @WAJsal
What BD section first need is
Stick to Defence topics in Defence section
Pls either attach a google translate or ban all vernacluar medium posts
Utilize the stickies properly in Central and South Asia sections instead of opening multiple threads...
Assuming all approvals come then yes make that the MII line and get Boeing to make LCA Ng in a proper manner. But i doubt if F18 can evolve further then this and the MMRCA technical evaluation points will go against them for sure. (Same for F16 as well or Gripen)
But in single engine category we...
Surely it can come but the we have to first limit Rafales and most probably the MII as there will be one MII line in twin engine and one in single engine. But Jet engine will be a big challenge and also the tech sharing. See even if companies like Boeing say, The senate has to approve and that...
Finally Mr Kirpalani gave this sound byte bcz of this

Its a strong possibility no doubt but they have to come forward. Again the biggest hurdle is HAL. Will you be comfortable giving HAL this prject? It will be having issues and Saab will be on drivers seat and point HAL is not able to match the cooperation day and night
But what about other systems. Will that be fully shared like GaN radar tech or say a new EW suite or integration of Indian missiles or missiles common to either Russian or French side or even Israeli.
