Internet terrorism on Tejas threads!

 

[Bratva]

i am not gonna sit in silence if the other person starts talking trash



honour and sikh is pretty compatible.
but use honour and a sunni terrorist together..........................it suddenly becomes an oxymoron

Talking trash? Despite providing proof, JF-17 firing a BVR. Any sensible member besides you can see, if states on poster has to be considered, JF-17 can't ever fire a BVR... But whom I talking too, a dumdami taksaal darban who don't even know basics of radar

 

[Bratva]

the guy is so stupid that he thinks i said jf-17 cannot fire a bvr??!!

guess what?
i never said it



see now he has gone into convulsions



yes bro,,its okay....u will survive in qatar hopefully

. Anyways, Let's get back to topic. Why LCA program is more focussing on integrating PGM's instead of BVR integration? Is LCA blk 1 geared towards Air to Ground to role?

 

[Bratva]

I AM GOING BACK NOWHERE.

show me where i said jf-17 cannot fire a bvr first



yup,,,,falsely accusing me of saying that i didn't.
then calling me names based on religion or sect!!

First show me, where I said, he-man said JF-17 cant fire a BVR missile? Uttay ala khana khali ae tera? Yabbriya mari jariya uddo da

And what is so bad about nirankari sikhs? Is it a abuse to sikhs? Is nirankari a gali ? Such a intolerant person you are and you accuse me of being racist

Who told you ? Derby would be integrated with LCA.

Pictures, news, BVR is rarely mentioned. Flying with general purpose or PGM bombs.

Derby was even shown on LCA 'mock up's,and there are many links available.And BVRs would be integrated before FOC,unlike many other similar projects.

If you care to search in google ,you will get lot of news.

That's why I asked. Ever since the problem of Radar dome arised, BVR seems to be put on back burner. I searched google and any news regarding BVR is in dark for now

For All those Mega Troll Tanks : MAY 31st
Bangalore: Three aircraft from Tejas flight-line have successfully completed advanced weapon trials in Jamnagar as part of the Final Operational Clearance (FOC) campaign, which began in December last year. Sources associated with the project confirmed to Express on Wednesday that the integration process of all new weapons on the aircraft has been completed.
"We have fired all the new weapons in all possible release modes and the results have been satisfactory. We have also completed the integration of a new drop tank as part of the FOC activity. With this, we have successfully completed the carriage, fuel transfer and jettison trials," an official, who was part of the Jamnagar trials said. It took three Tejas aircraft (LSP-3, LSP-5 and LSP-7) over 30 sorties to complete the weapon trials.
As part of the FOC, the aircraft is now being readied for all-weather trials in Bangalore. "One aircraft is also being readied for night flying with upgraded systems and software. Plans are afoot to take Tejas for hot weather trials in Gwalior next month," the official added. So far, since its maiden flight on January 4, 2001, Tejas has completed 2587 sorties logging in over 1750 hours of incident-free flying.
Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd (HAL) Chairman R K Tyagi said that the company is on track in rolling out the first Series Production (SP-1) aircraft. He said ahead of the Initial Operational Clearance in December last year, HAL was working parallel with the Aeronautical Developmental Agency for the finalisation of the production configuration of the aircraft.
"The first SP-1 is in advanced stages of equipping and we will have the ground run by end of June. The SP-1 should start flying by August. The second, third and fourth production aircraft are in various stages of structural build and we hope to deliver four aircraft in the current year to the Indian Air Force (IAF)," Tyagi said.
Tyagi said that HAL will be pushing for more Tejas orders to be placed on the company. "We as a nation should mandate the use of this aircraft as a replacement of MiG-21. We should go ahead and manufacture around 200 aircraft. That will be a huge boost to India's indigenous manufacturing effort. I am confident when the production rate picks up in future, HAL should be able to manufacture 20 aircraft every year," he said. The IAF has so far placed confirmed orders of 40 Tejas aircraft, with the first 20 to be built as per the IOC standards.
Ahead of the FOC, crucial milestones that the project needs to complete include, integration of the missiles with the radar(BVRAAM), integration of Russian-made 23 mm GSH gun, air-to-air refuelling probe, better braking system and change of nose cone radome from composite materials to quartz for an improved range.

Timelines for the ‘Tejas’ programme unfortunately have tended to be vague predictions rather than a realistic appreciation of the targets to be achieved. When limited IOC was granted by the IAF last year, HAL was expected to deliver the first 20 ‘Tejas’ Mk-1 aircraft to the IAF by end 2013, followed by the next batch of 20 aircraft in mid 2015. The ‘Tejas’ was also expected to have 75 per cent indigenous content according to Defence Research & Development Organisation (DRDO) sources by the time it attained FOC, something that will be impossible to achieve in the time-frame set.

The second lot of 20 aircraft will see the addition of a new Close Combat Missile (CCM - Python-5), Beyond Visual Range (BVR) missiles, rockets, guided and unguided bombs along with new drop tanks and other refinements. The mid-air refueling system, however, will be integrated only on the Mk-2 variant. The integration of the gun and BVR missile is likely to prove time consuming. The transition from IOC to FOC will see the flight envelope being extended to -3.5G to +8G from the -2G to 6G when the ‘Tejas’ was granted limited IOC. The Angle of Attack (AoA) will also be increased to 24 degrees.

The Light Combat Aircraft will attain IOC this year and FOC by 2015

????
From where you get this ??All Production units will be as per FOC except SP1 - SP4 as they already in advance stage ranging from low speed taxi trail to integration stages.So they will upgraded later.

Link is in the post. That's why I'm asking. Has the program timeline changed once again? because Tarmak007 saying something else, another Indian website saying something else. Is there any definitive set of goals?

The standard procedure is as follow regardless of any links. SP1 -SP 4 are to be delivered along with LSP 7 - LSP 8.
SP 1-SP 4 cannot be upgraded to FOC levels as of now. From SP 5 -SP 40 all will be BVR enabled and FOC STD.
