Fifth Generation Fighter Jet Comparisons

[jdme]

dude LCA delay was because of problems in the 90's economic problems in the early 90's resulted in funding being cut for a while then when full funding started we were getting back on track however after the nuclear tests in 98 a technology embargo screwed us over as we had no back up plan, so poor planning is 1 fault but first flight was in 2001 IOC in 2011 if that time is considered it really only took 10 year

France is helping us with Kaveri MK2 engine which will be used AMCA and as of right now LCAMK1 is initially ready after some final validation tests it will be ready for FOC next year, adding on the IAF has ordered 48MK1 aircraft because it does not meet they're current requirements that is why the LCA MK2 which will be a 4.5 gen fighter with 5th gen elements is being developed that will fly in 2014 and enter production in 2017

we know LCA took a long time but before LCA we only had made fighters that were 2nd gen like Marut and Ajeet, then we started on a 4th gen fighter, the LCA was the project to start the aerospace industry in India i am sure ADA and DRDO scientists will learn from past mistakes and not commit them again on the AMCA

relax bro LCAMK2 and AMCA will be real indigenous beasts

They can. Privatize the industry. DRDO is simply not competent enough and why should they be. There is no money to drive them. Low government salary, no consequences for failure....perfect recipe for incompetency. Bring in private players. I am sure we can put a decent plane.

yeah i think we should combine HAL, ADA, NAL, and all the DRDO aerospace labs into 1 giant aerospace/defense company like Boeing or UAC that produces fighters, UAV's, transport aircraft, helicopters, airliners, AWACS, trainers, etc anything relevant to aviation really

we should just combine all DRDO labs based on they're field of R&D and either turn them into state run or private companies or have them join the private sector, a good example would be if all the electronics R&D labs of the DRDO were given to BEL or made into its own company

we need more private participation in defense sector
