Lets get some thing striaght here.

LCA project now means India can design build and test from scratch new generation fighters helicopters missles and UAVs.

Thunder has given Pak nothing other than new experience to assemble a foreign fighter (albeit a fighter that was designed to PAF requirements)

India was license assembling MIG21s way back in the 1980s alongside Jaguars. Today India assembles SU30MKI. lICENSE ASSEMBLE NO BIG DEAL.

LCA will mean india goes from this 1960s designed fighter

To this

From a basic albeit upgraded cold war relic with limited vision poor cockpit and limited control flying metal alloy fighter although it has limitede bvr

TO

low rcs high compsite quadruplex digital fbw multi role fighter.

Remember india stil has ober 200 mig21S in service

 

[deckingraj]

the fact of matter is that it would have been a potent fighter if inducted 10yrs ago.looking at the current inventory of iaf and future procurement plans.....potency of tejas takes a blow in the belly

Why would it be potent if inducted 10 years ago??? What are the fighters that our potential adversaries have inducted that as per you cannot be intercepted by Tejas??? Look it is never 1-on-1 scenario in a battle field...Between Tejas is going to replace the almost obsolete fleets of Migs in our inventory...So not sure what is the fuss about...

I wish we throw all those mig 21's and replace them with Tejas Mk1
After Tejas Mk2 is developed and inducted..
We can upgraade Tejas Mk1 to Mk2 easily...
Wat do u think about this guys...

Thats why LCA gonna prove itself to be a $30 million white elephant against cheap JF-17,which is much better than LCA and faster in its induction and production.

Yes, you are right but jf 17 still have foreign engine , still have no idea which radar is using with what capabilities
Still have no full FBW system, and still no idea about other supporting system . . If we had induct such type of fighter LCA is flying from jan 2001 . .
I m not saying jf 17 a bad fighter . . . But we need a fighter which have most of our own system and we got late that is why MMRCA is here .

It's going to be a big day, the entire programme team will be there. It's the best possible time get questions answered. Post your questions here, and I'll try getting them answered. Keep it real, of course.

Assuming that you are making some sense in your statement ?? Then the IAF should go and buy the cheap JF-17; kinda 2 for the price of 1 deal,hunh.

And BTW, the thread says on top: LCA News & Discussions.
or that did'nt cross your mind?
