How Did India Manage to Build an Advanced Fighter Jet Like the Tejas?

[Ghost Hobbit]

You couldn't afford me and beside I beat bad students and Indians get special treatment. Do u have health insurance ?

'Tejas Mk1 is good,
Mk1A is top in its class,
Mk2 shall be absolutely top class.'
All Indians third class

Foreign Policy experts vs some random dude. I know who I will trust.

 

[Crimson Blue]

And you believed that but here you don't want to brlieve right?

I am ok with Teajs being called an 'advanced Jet fighter'.
Now how about shooting down F-16 lie that Indian government told the world?

 

[My-Analogous]

Mk1 is already a done deal. It doesn't come with "will".

Where is its performance which you guys claim?. run with 1.4Mach with endurance one hour only with lots of problem including external fuel tank off during performance test to Malaysian delegation. Tell me what is done deal with finished product. Prove your claim with proper reference

And all Chines and Pakistanis belong to which class? 1st class or even higher than first class?

They all are your imaginations and not problems of Tejas. During operation Gagan shakti, it did 6 sorties per day and bombed the target with pin point accuracy.

This is crux of this article, which shows dishonesty of the writer.



"It is able to buy advanced technology that it can not produce itself." But it doesn't stop India to call it an "Indi Genius" product. And for this writer to say "How India build such advance Air Craft".

The rest of the paragraph about China and Pakistan, is simple self evident that why this article is written, the status of mind of this writer and his motives.

wow, I didn't realize being dirt poor, not having intellectual property laws and inability to honor contracts were an asset.

How Did India Manage to Build an Advanced Fighter Jet Like the Tejas?
When it comes to sensitive industries like defense, democracy and the rule of law do matter.

Indian Air Force Tejas fighter jets perform at the Aero India air show at Yelahanka Air Force Station in Bangaluru, on Feb. 3. JEWEL SAMAD/AFP VIA GETTY IMAGES
India’s biennial military aircraft show, Aero India, went off without a hitch in early February in the southern Indian tech capital of Bengaluru. Despite the travails of pandemic-era traveling, the United States sent a deputy undersecretary, a Navy admiral, and three Air Force generals. It also sent a nuclear-capable B-1B bomber. But the real star of the show was what escorted the U.S. aircraft in the sky: an Indian-built Tejas fighter jet. With a name that means “radiant” in the ancient Sanskrit language, the Tejas is the first supersonic multirole fighter aircraft designed and built entirely in India.
How has a relatively poor country like India that is more famous for call centers than for precision manufacturing managed such a dramatic technological leap? In a word: cooperation. India is keen to build defense-industry partnerships with more advanced countries, and—even more importantly—advanced countries are keen to partner with India. Not only does it have one of the world’s largest military procurement budgets and a large pool of talented engineers, but India also has a strong tradition of rule of law that protects intellectual property and ensures the enforceability of contracts—in stark contrast to China, which is fast losing access to many advanced Western technologies. That makes India a better partner for international technology companies that it, for now, still depends on.
With the Tejas, India joins an elite group of countries that have demonstrated the capacity to develop and manufacture so-called fourth-generation fighters: combat aircraft characterized by electronic fly-by-wire control systems, onboard situation awareness displays, and over-the-horizon strike capabilities. The United States led the way in the late 1970s with the dual-engine F-15 and single-engine F-16, while China began producing similar fourth-generation fighters only in the early 2000s. With the F-22 and F-35, the United States has since begun to produce fifth-generation fighters—adding stealth capacity among other advances—while other countries, including India, are eager to catch up.
The Tejas is a flagship project of the government’s Atmanirbhar Bharat or Self-Reliant India program. So far, India’s defense industry isn’t nearly as self-reliant as the government might like it to be, and the Tejas—assembled by India’s state-owned Hindustan Aeronautics in Bengaluru—is a good example: The government estimates that the fighter is just 60 percent Indian by value, though that figure is expected to rise over time. The biggest-ticket foreign components are the plane’s General Electric F404 jet engine and Israel Aerospace Industries’ radar and electronic warfare systems. Take away these key components, and all you have is an empty airframe.
For India, that’s not a problem: As a democratic country that honors contracts and respects intellectual property law, it is able to buy advanced technology that it cannot produce itself. That gives the country a major advantage over its regional rivals, China and Pakistan, which simply are not trusted by their suppliers. China’s jet fighter development programs have been repeatedly held back by Russia’s unwillingness to supply high-performance engines for fear of Chinese reverse-engineering. And key components of Pakistan’s locally manufactured JF-17 are entirely sourced from China, as is the design.

F16 have been with Pakistan since 80s, what horse Shi* is this article.
self serving articles with assumptions by a soon to be a cannon fodder nation..

 

[N.Siddiqui]

Such self aggrandizing, paid content won't get Tejass any foreign buyers, nobody is interested in buying this even with india doing all kind of PR.

From coercion to bootlicking and with this kind of sponsored paid content.

Proof me wrong with proper reference

 

[White and Green with M/S]

It is no lies. We have produced the proofs.

lol what you provide a proofs, some MS paint images by the IAF, dude i am software and graphic designer in USA, i can make these kind of Images better than your IAF, if you can give me coordinates, Foreign policy magazine said no F-16 was lost, and same Magazine saying good for your LCA/Tejas that become respectable to you?? isn't double standard from you guys LOL

Where am I talking about any image? Have I? The problem with you people is that you have a great sense of wishful thinking.

And you have not LOL

 

[newb3e]

Tejas Mk1 is good, Mk1A is top in its class, Mk2 shall be absolutely top class. Just a single engine plane will carry 6.5 ton payload, 9g maneuvers, top class AESA, top class bvr and wvr, top class EW and lot more. Only Gripen E can come close in capabilities in its class. It can match 2 engine planes capabity at half of operating cost.


No I don't. I want a tution from you.

and on Mk3 one fine day Siri Modi g Siri Amit Shah g Siri Yogi g the three safron gems will launch for 3 hrs travel to mars (yes 3hrs because mk3 can) and build a mandir there!

 

[Imran Khan]

world is still thinking how india managed to make empty airframe

LOL your MAHAN IAF presented those images after 3 month when pentagon confirmed no PAF F-16 were missing, forget this, troll

 

[TNT]

Yes how did india manage to build a fighter jet full of foreign components in 30 years?
