they'll only induct 40?

hmm..

They"ll probably be replacing the non-Bison MIG-21s numbering 80-90.

Indian Air Force phasing out MiG-21s: Antony

The IAF currently operates a little over 200 MiG-21s. Of these, 121 have been upgraded to the Bison version and are likely to fly till 2017, an IAF source said.

The remaining 80-90 aircraft will be phased out in the next two-three years, the source added, requesting anonymity.

hmm..

They need to save their face from embarrassment that's why the work is still on going. A few will be inducted and will only be used when there is are loads of aircraft around to protect the little Tejas. Indian doesn't need the Tejas everyone know is it. They just want to get it operational so they can can rid of it, kind of pointless but that's what happens when you put your national pride behind a project/ product that hasn't even been completed.

Thank you for bringing that up since, ironically India has been manufacturing fighter aircrafts since the 60s, Ajeet, HF-24 Maurat spear heading this detail. Yet, the LCA, has taken almost three decades to enter production.

A collection of pics of LCA trainer version.

She is quite a stunner, isn't she?

To be honest, I like the single seat more, because the twin seat looks kind off short when you compare them. Especially the location of the rear gear "looks" kind of strange, but I guess that has to do with the high position of the co-pilots cockpit.

Gripen D:

I know the Gripen is longer, but the difference between single and twin seat doesn't seems to be that big right?

Mirage 2000:

 

[casual]

can you believe this little paper tiger costs 31million usd per plane?

 

[CardSharp]

This is news?

 

[GareebNawaz]

are you seriously going to play 31million usd for this?

I don't know if it was this thread or some other but a fellow pakistani member said that USA was selling its old 4th 4.5 gen aircraft to India like F16 block 60 and block 70!! lol we will take his advice and not go for your outdtated f-16s........

 

[GareebNawaz]

DEL double post

 

[Nemesis101]

Nothing to argue about...we really deserve this...but giving it some stupid name is not good...like pakistan can be called something else.you know what i mean.so i think better don't do that.

 

[satishkumarcsc]

Hey it is still better than the aircraft it is supposed to replace.

Hey it is still better than the aircraft it is supposed to replace.

yaaa thats true but

"with the indigenous Kaveri engine failing to pass muster despite Rs 2,839 crore being spent on it since 1989."

this really hurts....
