A very good video of LCA, but i think still lot of things are there to improve.
Like, there is no 360' roll , no high G turn ,which will be possible after new engine and further testing od air frame.
So, it has 40,000 tone displacement greater then the expected 37000tone displacement.:what:
And also cost is also less than a 1 billion $.
Ahead of gorky and cheap.
AMAZING
As we all know Mig-29 already have BVR capability.
Now, Jaguar also going to have AESA and BVR.
And after Upgradaton of M2K , india have formidable air force which have BVR capability.

Kaveri engine is working going for test in march.
If test are successfull, then it will be fixed with Tejas.
Problem with kaveri enigne is, it is not producing enough thrust according to IAF.
Nitesh i am not saying that there is no private participation at all.
Apart from L&T and TCS there are mahindra and godrej are also interested in defence industries.
Institutes lika IISc,IITs,etc should also be included into the research.
Above discussion become quiet hot....:)
My point of view about DRDO is ,it should involve private sector in future defence projects not only in manufacturing but also in the development.It will decrease the time line of the product.
And yes both DRDO and ISRO ,we can say,are government...
