@HRK. Bro can you post that report again an the part which show the reality about th EW suite on lca ?Wrong
Tejas Trainer PV 6 completes first flight successfully - Oneindia
that cannot make any Fighter less Potent and
First Understand This EW suite, known as Mayavi for LCA , includes a radar warning receiver (RWR), Missile Approach Warning (MAW) and a Laser warning receiver (LWR) system, Infrared & Ultraviolet Missile warning sensors, self-protection jammer, chaff, jaff and flares dispenser, an electronic countermeasures (ECM) suite and a towed radar decoy (TRD)
RWR is used in tejas was deisned by DARE ( Defence Avionics Research Establishment) which is Tarang 1B and CMDS it has Some Performance Issues which are addressed by CAG report but these issues are not Permanent one the issues are Being addressed Please go through Report LCA is Still Have time for FOC
Let me Guide you Tarang RWR is developed by DARE, Bangalore. It has direction finding capability and is known to have a programmable threat library - it can store information off the type of fighter aircraft radar detected and identify it. The RWR is derived from work done on an earlier system for India's MiG-23BNs known as the Tranquil, which is now superseded by the more advanced Tarang series. Tarang RWR is now almost t standard to IAF aircraft. The MiG-21 Bison, MiG-27ML, SEPECAT Jaguar DARIN II, MiG-29UPG, HAL Tejas and the Su-30MKI all have Tarang or Tranquil RWRs.
Tarang RWR antennae are placed around the aircraft for all round coverage, the most common of which is the dorsal fin. You will easily spot the Tarang RWR on the dorsal fins of MiG-21 Bisons, Jaguar DARIN IIs, and HAL Tejas.
Moot Point how this 35 % indigenization Point will Effect the Performance of the Aircraft As it Mostly uses Israelis,French and even British which Known for their Effective Systems
Not Even one point Suggest that LCA is Not a Potent Aircraft But Many of its Features Surpass Aircraft which are already in use in IAF Eg mig-21,Mig-27
your point of Money going in drain is Moot one Money spend on R&D in the project Never goes Waste you seem to have not Known this Because PAC is Never Achieved Anything Significant in Indigenous Industry
As for Failure of the Tejas project Mod is already ordered 40 Mk1 and vision to have Atleast 10 Squardors of the aircraft as for funds it already issued for Mk2
Mod is Keen on investing foreign vendors Like SAAB interested in Such Project Mod is spending huge amount of money on LCA take Latest comment from are DM parikar Today Itself
Parrikar also said that with India buying around 36 Rafale jets for now, government savings on this project is likely to be up Rs 60,000-65,000 crore. This money, Parrikar said, will be used to accelerate defence manufacturing in India, including speeding up the long-ingestation Light Combat Aircraft. The minister said LCA will be inducted in large numbers, up to 200 fighters or 10 squadrons.

it is Surprising that Same So called Think tanks and Intellectuals Question Credibility of CAG when it Criticize Army for Determining Capabilities of Arjun Tank Specially one you mentioned in you Post.
CAG blames Army for delay in Arjun tanks’ induction
On topic : funny to see indian quoting a blog "wantchinatime".. With incorrect information and jumpin up n down and boastig about an aircraft which has a radar range of 60 KMs, among other flaws and is yet to enter service .. Anc comparing it with an aircraft (50+ of which are in service and BLK II soon to be indicted- with production. Already underway).
