hahahahah induct Tejas in IAF first Bitch... which is pending from 30 years...
Then Talk here.... even Naval version is not ready for induction
Procurement: Indian Air Force Rejects Locally Built Fighter
India’s locally designed and built LCA (Light Combat Aircraft or "Tejas") jet fighter has still not received its FOC (Final Operational Clearance), nearly two years after receiving its IOC (Initial Operational Certificate). That is one of many reasons the Indian Air Force is openly pleading with the government not to force them to accept and operate the LCA. The air force has already agreed to accept (and pay for out of their budget) twenty LCAs but is defiantly resisting government suggestions that another hundred LCAs be purchased. Air force commanders point out that the LCA development has been a long list of failures. Moreover the current LCA design is very expensive to maintain and performs poorly in the air.
IAF have already ordered 20 LCA MK-1 of IOC-2 standard, and agreed for 100 LCA mk-1 SOP 2018 Standard.
Naval Version Development is on with IN full comittment to 40 Naval LCA MK-2 powered by F-414 engine.
And your intelligence is shown here, when you are thinking that Srilanka is interested in N-LCA
By the way Egyptian Airforce, have also shown interest in LCA post Behrain Airshow
