LCA Tejas was developed faster than Rafale, Eurofighter & F-22

Who you kidding?

The biggest take away from the program is the full fledged ecosystem including manpowewer and design facility build which can build any sort of modern fighter. LCA Tejas MK1+ is going to be a very nice modern fighter. LCA Mk2 shall be absolute top class. India is now in a league of countries making modern fighters.

But that's not indicative of much.

And here people were complaining about the Project Management of the LCA program.

Setting up an industry framework takes time and if you are building something which requires most modern techs its gonna take more time and to add to that if its done in a country that had no basic high tech industrial setup and being an agrarian economy under the international sanctions.

From outside people can complain for 1000s of things, but to drive from inside it takes lot of courage to meet all the obstacles. Some obstacles where met with best solutions and in others there could have been hit and trial or failures. None the less entire exercise has built a very fertile base for upcoming high tech industries. It has prepared the right set of ground to run and jump ahead.

U r a smart guy...you dont need to defend bullshit.
In pakistan we are developing or aviation industry with the resourse at our disposal. We are doing joint ventures with many companies and countries but chiefly China. This is no secret. Now where the problem lies is the Indian claim the wheel is square and Tejas is indigenous. Nothing new as even your scientist claim stem cell were discovered by indians and Newton etc were talking bile. If thats the case why is india a third world country with people dying of hunger. No sanitation and a cruel and evil caste system still in place
.the world is laughing because we all know nothing indigenous about the teja. Why thump your chest when u know know you are lying.
There is nothing wrong with buying systems of the shelf and using them to make a better product.

Kinda fast since it took them from 1980s design to 2016 to induct a gen 3+ plane.

Thanks for appreciation.

I can very well understand your point of view, because all that comes to you is via media and from internet where there are many chest thumping trollers also sometime unfortunately there are bravado statements from responsible posts which gives more flair to chest thumpers.

Having said that Tejas as a project at best is a countries effort from ground level to build a fighter aircraft. Where they have tried to build entire infrastructure. The word indigenous has be seen in that context. Other than that its very well known that no country can ever claim that every part of fighter jet is built by them. In current world people buy components from various companies who specialize in certain aspects and then build up the aircraft.

How good as a product Tejas is will be ascertained by its customer, whether it meets the requirement or not.
But what the entire exercise has resulted into is building up a very vast high tech industrial setup. From metallurgy to avionics, from components to frame structures. All these industries where absent in the country. Now these companies are learning new things and delivering the results. Sooner or later there will few companies out of these who would turn out to be world class.

Unlike in past where India did JV with Russian company to buy and build entire aircraft with them, this time the JV are more at component levels. PAKFA was kind of JV program that you had, but it for now looks gone down the drain.
