Lol at the original author. According to the last deal of IAF and HAL for 57 BAE HAWK MK132 , the average fly away cost of 1 aircraft was already near 20 million USD. With all this useless " combat capability " , the cost would rise above 30 million USD.

There are more capable armed HAWK versions on offer for sale for more than 2 decades, if it had been a bit effective against today's terrorists [forget a state military ] , we would have had seen a very large number of such aircraft in service. There might be a few export potential [means not...

SAAB today would be conducting a press conference, try to keep a tab on it.

With all this , it would need strengthening of the airframe, more proper sensors and a more powerful engine. All this will bring up the cost of Armed HAWK in comparison to LCA MK1. And at that point it looses its case.

Go though the performance of the BAE HAWK MK132, it barely goes more than Mach 0.8 At high altitude, modern MANPADs would shoot it down in CAS role.

You a re trying to over do a 1960 system. It has had a glorious life till now , and is exceptionally good for advanched jet training. May be dropping some small guided munitions against an opposition without any modern manpad, or Air force.

That is the most absurd thing I have ever read on this forum. BAE HAWK and its chief designer , Ralph Hooper had nothing to do with Hawker Hunter. In fact the BAE HAWK originated as a private venture of the company which later got Royal Airforces orders.

Reported for trying to troll,flame baiting, off topic discussion . No it can't. Nothing less than a proper fighter jet would work against a proper air force. Trainers patched up with weapons are affective to a little extent only against asymmetric warfare, not against a proper conventional...

HAL had 8 LCA a year capacity right now. But according to Matrubhumi, HAL has converted a nearby Koran Hanger to LCA assembly facility which will build 3 LCA a year. That means 8+3=11 LCA. When the second line of 8 LCA initially and 16 later gets started , that would mean 27 LCA a year ,but...
