TEJAS VIDEO NAT GEO PRESENTATION

I liked the composite fabrication part.

The latter were integrated to the fighter and not on a radar so far and we still don't know if the MK1s will have the normal 2032, or if they still try to fix the indigenous MMR. Integrating 2032 is not an issue, we have done it with Jaguars and Sea Harriers and the latter even with Derby missiles, so I guess they still can't let go the indigenous radar.

Maybe they're working on indigenous MMR derived from the technologies of EL/M-2032...

I think they are really not okay with 2032 radar which added and in use for A2A in harriers or derby range. Otherwise it could have inducted to LCA for A2A. I may be lesser range of 2032 or lesser range of Derby or/and the both.

Not a derived, but to integrate certain features of the 2032 into the indigenous MMR.

Doubtful because the Israeli radar specs are pretty good in it's class and LCA has a quiet large nose to fit a radar with a big diameter compared to it's overall size and if Derby would have too less range, why did IN and IAF selected it? They know what range it has from the Sea Harriers.

Only India need to learn English

Many Western people learning Chinese now

We Chinese is the most people spoken English in the world

hahaha

by the way, Light LCA + Heavy and Big AESA = The biggest joke in the world

well your ENGLISH IS PATHETIC than a 5th grader........maybe u r one...and also joke is on you....so enjoy..

First flight of single LCA is awesome.

If the nose is big enough, radar and missiles are available whats the problem with integrating them?

We did it for other platforms so fast?

The video is created from the Inside out LCA tejas and shows the facilities for testing Control law software. There was no audio stream while recording, so no sound only video.

^^ why's the landing gear not retracted?

At a time when the US is fast-developing hypersonic bombers capable of flying at 20 times the speed of sound, India's largely home-grown Tejas light combat aircraft will 'not be ready to go to war' anytime before 2015.

The latest assessment of Tejas, which has now clocked close to 2,000 flights in its almost three-decade-long saga, holds the light-weight fighter will be capable of firing guns, rockets and BVR (beyond visual range) missiles as well as air-to-air refuelling only by 2015 at the earliest, say defence ministry sources. That is when the single-engine Tejas will become fully combat-ready after getting the final operational clearance (FOC). The review suggests that the fighter is again headed to miss a deadline. The project was started in 1983 to replace Mig 21s.

So far, Tejas has achieved only initial operational clearance-I (IOC-I) to certify it's airworthiness. "The IOC-II for the fighter, which also includes integration of some weapons like laser-guided bombs, was pushed back to December 2012. But now, it will only be possible by July, 2013, or so after over 200 more sorties. FOC will come only two years after that,'' said a source.

India will eventually spend over Rs 25,000 crore in the entire Tejas programme, including the naval variant and trainer as well as the failed Kaveri engine, as reported by TOI. But more than the cost, it's the time taken to develop a fully-tested, weapons-ready fighter that underlines how critical defence projects should not be run.

While it is true that developing a supersonic fly-by-wire fighter from scratch was never going to be easy, the entire project could have been managed much better. IAF, on its part, is supporting the fighter programme since it knows the country's need to have indigenous weapon systems is strategically critical.
