lol HAL will deliver those in 3017 not in 2017 + 83 years.

NEW DELHI: The Navy has rejected the naval version of the indigenous Tejas light combat aircraft (LCA), holding that the "overweight" fighter cannot optimally operate from aircraft carriers, and is now looking to induct an alternative fighter from abroad in the next five to six years.

"We will continue to support Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), Hindustan Aeronautics (HAL) and Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA), but the naval LCA in its present form unfortunately does not meet our qualitative requirements for carrier capability," said Admiral Sunil Lanba on Friday.

The single-engine Tejas, which is "too heavy", does not meet the "thrust-to-weight requirement to take off with a full fuel and arms load" from an aircraft carrier's deck. At present, the Navy has inducted over 30 of the 45 MiG-29K fighters acquired from Russia for $2 billion. Both the MiG-29Ks and the naval Tejas were supposed to operate from the 44,400-tonne carrier INS Vikramaditya as well as the under-construction 40,000-tonne INS Vikrant, which will be ready by 2019-2020.

Did HAL not know the navy''s spec requirements regarding thrust to weight ratio? This has now set navy''s time period for acquiring jet fighters which has compromised our national security especially... Read MorePradeep Bhatia

"In addition to MiG-29Ks, we now need an alternative aircraft to operate from these two carriers. If you look around the world, there are not too many options available and we need this carrier-capable aircraft sooner than later. So, I am looking at next five to six years," said Admiral Lanba.

Fool, Navy is not interested with Mark 1 version and there are interested with Mark 2 version.

Many times discussed in PDF and still Pak's have sense.

Stupidity talking to these Pak's who never know how to build a fighter aircraft rather doing a paint for Jovial Fighter aka JF17

Just tell me how many do you have in air in 33 years????

Learn from them, they are home made and they fly unlike Tejas

you can't say that they have a thriving indigenous aerospace industry
