HAL Hands Over Tejas Jets To IAF

Dazzler nobody has embaressed.

I regular slaughter pdf members with hard hitting facts.

Do you want an example

How about comparing the annual budget of paf v iaf
Or the expected training budget of paf v iaf
Or the no of true fourth generation fighters in each air force.

Best

I am beginning to doubt your sanity, if have any that is. Bollywood material.

@Superboy here is having a DSI fetish going on in here ....

Hey @Superboy , do you have a DSI too ?? It will make you current generation not some 1990 model ...
If DSI is so good why dose the aircraft has weapons ?? Just have a loudspeaker attached to it and make it blare "I have DSI". All enemy aircraft will run away !!

And for the uninitiated who blabber DSI DSI on all threads, we have "DSI" built into our bikes :p::p::p:
 
Congrats to India to finally have this plane. It's an example of Indian tortoise crossing the finish line.

Indian tortoise made India first nation to conquer Mars in maiden attempt, some thing which Eagle, Dragon failed to achieve.
 
Congrats to indian friends. Hope tejas works this time
 
IAF all set to raise first squadron of indigenous fighter Tejas

With its fighter squadron strength dwindling and finalisation of medium multi-role combat aircraft (MMRCA) still eluding, the Indian Air Force has sped up its plan to raise the first squadron of indigenously developed light combat aircraft (LCA) Tejas. Sources in the Defence Ministry told UNI that the IAF was planning to raise the first squadron of the aircraft by next year after getting the delivery of at least six Tejas in the Initial Operational Clearance (IOC) configuration. Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) has already delivered the first IOC-standard aircraft to IAF in January this year.

Rest of the five Tejas of same configuration are likely to be handed over to it by this financial year end, the sources said. The first squadron of Tejas will be rechristened as Squadron 45 and it would be called ‘Flying Daggers’. Keeping the logistical issues in mind, the squadron will be based in Bangalore so that the HAL may be called into service at any given point to sort out the teething problems if any, an IAF official said, adding that subsequently, the squadron would be shifted to Sulur base of the IAF.

First squadron of LCA was likely to be declared fully operational in 2022 when all of its 18 aircraft would be upgraded to final operational clearance (FOC) configuration, the sources said. In the meantime, the IAF would start raising the second squadron of Tejas, comprising 18 aircraft of FOC-standard.

The second Tejas squadron of 20 FOC-standard is likely to become fully operational by 2020. It was officially communicated to one of the parliamentary panel recently that the IAF’s fighter squadron strength has come down to 34 against the authorised strength of 42 combat squadrons.
 
Forty tejss in five years or sqds is very realistic and rather slow.

But in hindsight paf have license assembled or received fifty thunders in five years. And that via China a massive manufacturing nation.

So forty tejss in five years us about right
