A company with no experience in navalising a fighter, get technological consultancy that also has no or very limited experience in this field as well. What a great idea ADA/DRDO! What should go wrong?

You made me laugh and cry at the same time!!

Don't spread misinformation, Radom has the problem not radar. Elta 2032 (if I am not wrong) is ready, put it in LCA. take 20 LCA (train your pilots, make them familiar with LCA flight envelope). In the mean time Radar and Missile will be integrated with LCA..


That's why I am saying terminate IAF and share 20 - 20 Squardon of Fighter plane each with IA and IN. What is the use of incompetent, arrogant IAF which lack pragmatism.

Wait brother , Saint Antony give final ultimatum to achieve FOC of Tejas till December 2014 if they fail to this then we both attack on DRDO & IAF

Is it really that tough to integrate a BVR missile as compared to a WVR missile? I presume the flight characteristics would have been calculated by now.

The missile will require the radar to guide it and when that is not ready yet it will further delay the BVR missile integration too.

The problem is with the Radome and not with radar.

If the radar would be ready now, we would upgrade the Jags with it and don't buy further EL 2032, which most likely will be the radar of LCA MK1 as well.

If India has inducted LCA as it is then they probably be in very strong position to recommend the desired changes and advancement in next block...honestly speaking I personally dont understand what India will achieve delaying a induction.

LSP-7 and 8 will be going to IAF for IOC-2. So it could be under modification

So any chances of IAF seeing some Grippen NGs???

How much LCA Mark1 in IAF and I have heard that its going hard times with it again and also hearing the interest of IAF in MiG-35s along with some older MiG-29s from Russia with upgrades.

Can you tell me what is the current fleet of IAFs MiG-29s...???

Just what I know that IAF might have 69 MiG-29s and they might have bought some more from Russia(old ones) with upgrades to make the fleet to 92-100 now???
But not confirmed at all.

- 2 x squadrons of LCA MK1 are ordered, but will be inducted around 2015 only
- IAF has around 60 x Mig 29s, which will be upgraded to UPG level and there won't be more
- no chance for Gripen, since it's in the same class as LCA, with similar capabilities and even the same timeframe, the version with AESA will be available only around 2018, similar to LCA MK2

But we have heard that IAF is getting more interested in MiG-35s and may be they will going to be offered some used MiG-29s from Russia as well.

But I think IAF will going to see some MiG-35s as its still under development:
