[Lockheed F-16]

---FAILURE DETECTED---

 

[iceman2009]

Over 1000 flights and nearly 540 HOURS OF TESTING.

Block 1 VERSION ORDERED by IAF to enter service in mid to late 2010.

Block 2 FROM 2013 TO include

NEW engine from BOEING or EADS

Israeli to finish their AESA development by 2012 (LCA will be its fierst customer... )

I actually think LCA will be a massive success

India hass jumped from 2nd GENERATION MARUTS & AJEETS in the 1970S

right thru to 4th generation lightweight MRCA.

Just for one moment take the bias and rivalry out

Read the article below re the JUMP for indian aeronatical science from

2nd generation to 4th

domain-b.com : AeroIndia 2009: LCA programme is over the hump - from 2nd generation to 4+


" There will be alot more news re IAF science military and civillian over the next 2 weeks because of AERO INDIA 2009"

why don't you guys take all this to the Indian section? Its like everyday some newbie comes and open a new indian thread here.

Stop polluting this place !

The second picture of the two TEJAS fighters are carrying drop tanks and air to air missles.........

That implys these are not far away from IOC and relevant to us all.

If we listened to some people LCA was 10 YEARS AWAY.

I THINK we can change the 10 YEARS TO 10 MONTHS and be alot closer to reality..

y cant we move these threads to indian military section. its alright for them to discuss all this provided they stick to their section.... we dont want indians to hijack this forum....

When the Block II gets IOC then i will believe the LCA to be a success. Honestly the IAF should be blamed, wanting so much in an aircraft at once that the design and production gets delayed for so long. Until that happens I think the Mig-21 Bison are still more capable, even if there hella old.

Why are indians so amazingly deluded? its like they have given their heart and soul to DRDO reports and seriously believe that anything they say must be nothing but the truth. and shame on the officials for teasing their fanboys so much with their false claims.

Mate.

Tranche-1
20 under powered "not just the engine" LCA by 2011
20 still under powered LCA by 2016
Tranche-2
?? LCA required by IAF in 2020
Tranche-3
only by 2024 will their be any LCA with Kavir engine AESA radar and isreali avionics will be ready for IOC for now i think indians are in big state of denial which will bring a phonological side effects to them.

Lets keep wishing LCA a failure.

Fingers crossed those pictures with drop tanks & air to air missles might be just a very bad dream.
