AFAIK AESA is not operational.

Just now I visited HAL airport, I saw lot of activity there. I saw a small bus full of technicians and pilots going towards airport. I saw a small helo hovering in sky for hours.
Early morning I saw Su30MKI flying form Airport (MKI is rare in bangalore.) Looks like something big cooking here..![]()
@NLCA: N-LCA will test many subcomponent except AESA, New Engine, and Hook. The main focus will be on testing undercarriage and landing gear (Note that these two are most Important for carrier borne plane). AESA will be tested first on LSP3. New engine will be tested on LCA SP1-6?? (No Idea). Hook will be tested after some time.
If it gets approved, we will atleast be clear that IAF is the main nautanki here not drdo or hal, meaning the aircraft was perfectly made, only IAF did gandugiri there .... let's watch it...
you went to hal airport? i thought it was no longer operational for civilia flights.
Good news.
But where will they use it. IAC-2 should be big enough to accommodate larger fighters/bombers than the MiG and Gorkshov and IAC-1 are full already.
returned back after almost a year still i see lot of internet warriors![]()
as i said earlier IAF wants LCA to be have same level of quality that western fighters enjoy
the reason is they face PLAAF and PAF threat and so cant afford compromise on quality
this is not possible as we are much behind in fighter tech and only way to catch up is keep evolving LCA
on other hand IN selected LCA ( as my understanding suggests ) because it can compromise on quality as it faces really no competition in IOR
PN doesnt have AC Carriers and Chinese AC Carrier cant be stationed in bases near India for foreseeable future
the only navy that can truly challenge IN in IOR is USN but US is our ally
PLAN presence in IOR will be significant after a decade only
New Recruit
That is exactly what I meant.
The program is a failure.. after all.. dont you have people asking for scrapping of the F-35..
Even though the A model is great..
Does it mean the size and all other parameters except engine are as per mark ll?
It is a real achievement if we succeeds, currently US, UK, France, Russia & China has the capability to make Navel fighters.
