no matter how much advance you become there is always room for improvement and in best planned and executed something can always go wrong but that aside we have to do owr work the best way we could as we have no other choice rather we cant afford to have any other choice
both PMO & MOD know it so does IAF but they are yet to get of there high horse
its all about manging skills now we have a good platform with immense potential
we have to move onto AMCA & AURA that is owr future if a small country like Israel with limited recources why cant we with such a enormous pool of intellegent and quallified sientists and money can do it ?
if you ask me honestli i think the proper justice to LCA has not been done rather its been pushed arround delibaretlli but its never too late lets hope ADA ,LRDE , HAL can make it work this time
Have some faith!!!
Tejas Mk-I will join the force from day one with :
Radar - 80Km+.
BVR - Derby, Latter - Astra.
Ground Attack - PGMs, LGB.
AoA - 26* +
G - 8+.
Full FBW with Relaxed Stability.
All Glass Cockpit, Head Mounted Display.
TRUE MULTIROLL FROM DAY ONE. What more you expect from a "Light Attack Aircraft" which is the "SMALLEST IN THE CATEGORY" ????
Designing and Developing a Fighter Plane is not like Eating Cookies. It takes a lot of effort and development of technologies.
India never had any of the technology for Fighter Aircraft and developing all the Critical Technology well within 20 years (from 1995 to 2015), tells you the effort put in by the Team and Scientists working on the Project.
That is also without the support of IAF which changed the ASR in between the phase of development which resulted in repeated delay.
And now IAF want READY TO INDUCT and should be able to DO ALL THE TASK "FROM DAY ONE".
Would you please appreciate what was the status of SU-30 AT THE TIME OF INDUCTION IN IAF.
AND WHAT MIRAGE-2000 WAS CAPABLE TO DO AT THE TIME OF INDUCTION.
And this story goes for all the Phoooorain Fighter Aircrafts.
WHAT IS THE STATUS OF "FOC" OF F-35???? HECK IS IT HAVE EVEN "IOC" ?????
DO TYPHOON ABLE TO DO THE GROUND ATTACK TILL DATE?????
DO RAFALE HAVE "AESA" TILL DATE OR "IIRST"??????
THEN WHY THIS "APARTHEID" WITH "TEJAS" ITS OWN "MOTHER AIR FORCE" IS DISOWNING IT!!!
