HAL Tejas | Updates, News & Discussions-[Thread 2]

[NKVD]

As per a report on Telegraph India, on 18th July

"To add to the air force’s worries about depleting force levels, a light combat aircraft (LCA) Tejas that was recently in field trials in Jaisalmer returned to Bangalore with a major technical fault: its undercarriage was down.
The Jaisalmer incident has further sapped the air force’s confidence in the LCA."

Any info about this incident guys??

Cost worry on Rafale and Tejas

Clear Drafted For Propaganda nothing Such Incident Happened LCA is Major Project Every Small Incident Related to it become A News in Defense Circles in South block

By going to its Source Its another Pathetic Attempt to Downplaying LCA By Armed Lobby
Calcutta,Telegraph Sujan dutta Never heard of this Guy Before By analyzing his article it clearly shows Guy don't have Knowledge about defense Matters

. They say it can take on the Pakistan Air Force's early F-16 variants and outclass the Sino-Pakistani JF-17 Thunder.

You are Right ; just a FEW niggles are left
which would be sorted out in a few months

As they say the LAST few steps are always the heaviest

there is no comparison between a 4+ gen air-frame design (RSS) (F16, Tejas etc) and a 3rd gen air-frame design (jf17, Mig21 etc)

JF-17 has DSI. Tejas does not. JF-17 had the world's most advanced airframe until J-10B came along.

re your POST

JF-17 had the world's most advanced airframe until J-10B came along.

That explains why PAF just brought second hand battered to death used F16 from the might air force of Jordan.

What does DSI has to do with the fighter plane capability ? Divertless air intake decreases the RCS by shielding the engine fans when correctly designed but so does S shape airduct also decreases the RCS. DSI actually decreases the manufacturing cost and also complexity and weight ;eliminating the need of spliters, inlet cones.

Pakistan has intellectual rights to WS-13 since WS-13 is engine of JF-17 and JF-17 is joint venture.

Superboy statement is really great I am really wondering !! Raised many questions
What does JV means? An example JV of Brahmos between Russia and India does India will get all the technology of Russians seekers and source code which it share or just the IP of the part developed by india. If you are correct Superboy India have the world class technology in hand for the seakers of Brahmos and Barak 1 and 8.

Oh I forgot the engine tech we are getting from Russia from PAK-FA project.
May be its an exceptional clause signed with the deal. But why any country would share his tech and know how which it earns by investing so much in R&D. Developing an engine is not easy and required billions $ in R&D. You can see how many country can make their turbofan engine and no one will share its secrets. YES friendly nations provide tech but the inferior ones that too not free.

There are many who criticize DRDO, ADA for the delays but the fact is R&D needs patience, hardwork, dedication, and also money. In science everything is zero because it is 99.9999% complete but why forgot the achievement made that is knowledge. That’s the price to be paid for a pessimistic/stifling national outlook towards technological advancement with zero-tolerance towards failures and import at all cost attitude.

Please share your thought.

PAF had developed and accommodated infrastructure for 110 f-16s since 1989 which is still in place. Hence they will keep inducting new or used falcons till the full infrastructure and logistics in place are consumed. It has nothing to do with jf-17 being less capable. It is the future mainstay.

PAF has 110 F-16

now thats some news ...... brrrrrrr im so afraid ..... mummy bachaao

so DSI tech master is back

Why everyone is calling superboy "Dsiboy" or Dsi tech master ? DSI is actually difficult to design but easy to manufacture, reduce weight. No hard feeling he might like the DSI technology much. Superboy can you elloborate us on pros and cons on performance in both subsonic and supersonic regime of an aircraft using DSI.

So if IAF has ~200 Su30 but wants to buy Rafale; does this mean ur Su30's are Junk ?? You are upgrading your Old Jags, Mirage2K; even though you have Su30 .. does this mean Su30 are Junk ?? On top of that IAF wana induct LCA .. does this mean Su30, M2K, Mig29 and the rest of the fleet is Junk ??

Every Air force has set out its goals and requirements. They purchase or induct according to those goals .. each plane has its role and they are used accordingly

are you trying to trap me cause you dont look like that its your first stint on PDF ... anyway like your avatar of "ardh nareshwar"

Every Air force has set out its goals and requirements. They purchase or induct according to those goals ..

no pakistanies interpret it like that owr doctroine is pretty clear (single engine light fighters for point defnce M21,LCA , twin engined medium fighters for deep strike & engaging hostile airforce Jags,M2K, M29 & rafale while heavy fighters as air supremecy=MKI)

but pakistanies deu to their jealousy and inherited hate against india and to make fun coax indians to talk like that and then we have superboy .... baki aap khud samjhdaar ho haina
