teja can takeoff from cargo ship and oil tankers too

teja can takeoff from cargo ship and oil tankers too

Teja has proven its capability of vertical take off too, demonstrated on a truck,

The world and india work differently ..
In the rest if the world the project has timeline and objectives in india ...

What i dont understand why waste tax payer money if LCA IS ALREADY CANCELLED FOR NAVY..

Becoz this is the rozgar of our dpsu's.
These r a chain of huge public sector undertakings,,mediocrisy,nepotism,kamchori,warts n all. LCA is just a manjan which provided them 30+yrs of chai biskut.


Look nobody sane expects dpsu's to deliver on any of thr promised goods.
LCA failed,token orders of mk1 r the proof of tht.
They tried salvaging by putting some lipstick(mk1a,sport,lca navy etc.)
Despite what ppl r saying there r no orders of mk1a till now.
So now to save face Mk2 is being propped up,the new manjan ,which is altogether a different aircraft.,,,just like old days, dpsu has promised the sky,,design,develop,test n inducted in a decade.
Just like tejas was touted as world class,best in class n what not even before it got inducted,,Mk2 will also get laurels of being world class even before it flies.
At best mk2 gets ready yo be inducted by early next decade,,n will again get token orders.
Why lca navy is being tested,,apparently dpsu's r validating "niche" technologies,,,,whatever that means(i think they r doing it,just to show off.

Anymore idiotic baseless disparaging posts on the JF-17 to assuage their own poorly managed project by Indians will lead to them being gone permanently from this thread with a warning.

the same goes for Pakistanis making lowball comments.

 

[Pakhtoon yum]

Many in PDF has flawed understanding of LCA project ...
whole new eco system of various feeder aero private industries has been built and at same time offset clauses are adding more tech.

LCA is on a much more robust path than JF-17...

Were those built before or after all these parts were bought for foreign corporations?

 

[khail007]

Navy doesn't want any single engine fighters for its carriers so it will be merely a test bed or technology demonstrator for the development of twin engine fighters.

yo


you Pakistanis can assume whatever you like but you still don't have any idea about the Indian tenacity and perseverance.

We don't want to, keep it to yourselves.

If you want a navy LCA its fine just built it from scratch PER NAVY REQUIREMENTS

Why is there a disconnect between the customer (navy airforce) and the builder..
It makes no sense

Why the disconnect,,well navy doesnt want a short legged single engine fighter to begin with. They agreed on going with NLCA just to support an indigenous effort n it makes thm look gud.
Defence imports fill pockets of many including politicians,middlemen,bureaucrats n defence personnel.its colaborated effort to undermine indigenous MIC.
On top of tht our MIC itself is mediocre at best,,,50% of the workforce is thr becoz of reservation(quota). Majority of the engineers r from tier 3 colleges or worse. The work culture is similar to all other public sector undertakings,which is pathetic.
Most important reason being,,our dpsu dominant MIC promises big but delivers puny products after never ending delays.
Its no wonder tht everybody is reluctant to purchase thr low quality products,,,if n when they come up wid somthng actually comparable with rival products,,they get gud orders,,case in point akash sam.
Edit- A clean sheet design is being considered for navy,,,dpsu will complete it in 2decades(hopefully).
Ps- its all ok basically,,,for a country like India,,this is perhaps the best way.corruption isnt going anywhere n our MIC isnt going to transform overnight.(perhaps after a century)
Look India(Pakistan too for that matter)despite the regular big talk,is not going to fight any wars,,,so it makes sense to keep the indigenisation effort going,,,,while buying the necessary.

Than build a twin engine for navy...how long will it take 10 years may be 15..but isnt the navy LCA going on for good 10 years now ..why waste further time..

 

[ADIL SHERDIL]

Just because it flew is it better then JF17. This project was started when most of the member on this forum weren't even born or were very little.
Indians like to beat their chest and then smack their head on wall. If it's such a success then Modi should have said Agar Tejas hota to result kuch aur hota

Becoz chai biskut,,,err i mean validating technologies.

It is basic common sense that you need the parts to build the product.

LCA Tejas FOC was delayed multiple times as the aerial refueling probe and quartz nose cone radome procurement from UK based Cobham were delayed .

LCA is on a much more robust path than JF-17...

Of course, never ending path.
