Bangladesh Might Be The Next Stop For LCA Tejas

[HostileInsurgent]

NETRA
IAF had said it was going to buy 6 additional systems back in 2010 with a projected requirement of 20 more.
3 EBM-145 were delivered to DRDO starting 2011. The first NETRA had its trials with AESA during 2013, but was handed over to IAF in 2017, and then the second NETRA was handed over in 2019. 3rd NETRA remians with DRDO for testing.
So delivering 2 to IAF while taking 4 years for first and 6 for second out of a projected requirment of 26+ (in 2010) is very good.
moving on,
Akash
2 Regiments (12 Batteries) ordered 2011, First Battery Inducted 2015, 6 of 12 Batteries inducted till 2018. Thats is 6 batteries delivered in 4 Years, poor performance and maintenance issues especially with IAF. See news attached below.
Tejas MK II ,
? Mk I isnt fully inducted so no hopes on it for next 10 years or so given the TEJAS I took 30+ years which is common time span for India.

Wrong statistics

Firstly the news you attached for NETRA is totally fake , no other outlet reported it in 2020 , why because it isnt from 2020 but from 2010, see below

AEW&CS Project - IDP Sentinel

web.archive.org

In 2010 it was projected that inaddition to first 3 AWACS , 6 more would be delivered from 2010-2015 with a order for 20 more, making total 29 AWACS ( same as the fake news you quoted )
Obviously that never happened , DRDO failed to deliver more than 1 AWACS in that time span of (2010-2015). So AGAIN OUT OF A PROJECTED REQUIRMENT OF 29 ONLY 3 WERE DELIVERED.
Any news of IAF aquiring NETRAs is totally false, especially since they would need to purchase Embraer planes first.


Moving on , Akash ,
IAF has 8 Squadrons on order but of those how much has been delivered is the real question. Alot of bases have Akash SAM Site setup but no batteries in sat imagery indicating Akash hasnt been delivered yet,
Secondly the figure i gave in the first message is of only Army Akash , which according to your MOD report had only 6/12 batteries delivered in 2018 , with deliveries since 2015, so my point is true there.

Next , Tejas , it was inducted in 2016 not 15 ,

Indian Airforce inducts its first squadron of home-grown aircraft

Military aviation makes a major milestone in the country, whenthe first squadron of home- grown Light Combat Aircraft Tejas was inducted into IAF with two fighter planes joining the force at Bengaluru...

yourstory.com

but its development took too much time and it was cleared for Operations in 2020

IAF operationalises second LCA squadron, inducts first LCA Tejas in FOC standard

The first Light Combat Aircraft Tejas Mk-1 was formally inducted into service on Wednesday in a function held at Air Force Station, Sulur near Coimbatore

www.thehindu.com

thats alot , and i dont see the 83 Tejas order any time soon , its been going on since years that they will buy 83 planes, no order has been made , even then if you still want to add Tejas 2 for export for bangladesh than its going to take atleast 25 years ( 10 years for dev as compared to 20 for Tejas 1 + 15 years for flight testing ) ( + more years if you want to add time in which when Tejas was cleared for operations)
