No sir, no naval version no LIFT...Did they sent the naval versions too?
when we have 10-12 PV+LSP then why we are waiting for these 2.Well this will be a moot point when operationalised bro as naturally every LCA (IAF or IN version) will have to have BVR capability when entering service.
+ the two (IAF) LCAs when they return to Jamnaghar will be conducting Derby and Python firing tests.

Dnt understand the philosophy of HAL or ADA
Q: how the new quartz radome frm cobham test is going on. Any timeline for SP-2 in coming days.
A: Tejas - LCA SP 2 will come up soon. Cobham radome ground integration checks are over. The actual flight testing will commence soon.
Awesome Sir... Heartfelt thanks to people like you who asked them straight questions... If media could have asked questions properly we would have known much better about TEjas progress, issues and challenges...This question was actually asked by me .
Answer to q2 will be political from our side, hence would like to avoid. Hope, you excuse us..
ThankQ: There are press reports that LSP-4/7 that're off to Bahrain Air show, would perform the BVR firing (Derby) tests for FOC after they have returned from it (i.e. post 23-Jan). Question is, does this mean that LSP-4/7 are already retrofitted with Cobham built quartz radomes - or are they going to go ahead with BVR testing with the old ASLs Kevlar based radome?
A: Tejas - LCA Lsp4 and lsp7 are heading for bahrain and on the return leg, lsp7 will fire bvr. Cobham radome ground testing is on. Flight test will commence soon. BVR firing is without this.
I ve discussed this point with @sudhir007
I told I believed cobham was integrated with Lsp 4&7 , that's why we have to wait for the same to return for BVR testing.
Seems I am wrong.
Lots of questions are discussed by the members here like 300kg ballast, 800kg weight reduction
Good to see answers

Sad to see improvements not to the level we expected.
Under carriage problems to be fixed with Dassault assistance ?

And coming to delay in SP is because there are still grey areas in getting the finalized production version of all the components. The no runs to couple of thousands. All said done, delay is primarily because of lack of a clear cut directive. If you look at mirage 2000 induction, the integration of sensors was a continuous process whereas it is expected from tejas to have everything in the beginning itself, which is a tough ask.
