LCA will miss another deadline

[salarsikander]

It doesn't.

Hi,

Let me assure you. I am not in anyway undermining the LCA TEJAS here. If you bother to check out the other thread where you had to open your mouth. I have clearly mentioned that the reason for delay is not IAF change n requirement but HAL's inability to delivery, so blaming IAF for that is entirely wrong

yet another paid media and defence ANALysts theory to force MOD to go for more Rafales instead of LCA

but question is is MOD interested in it or will they blink ...... your guess is as good as mine OP

Me think so as well.
FOC might slip might not, nonetheless FOC in 2016 for MK I.
What important is what's gonna follow in MK II.
Dimensions of F404 and F414 are not much different that requires huge airframe edit apart from adjusting Air Intakes.
MK II will be able to do much what Rafale's gonna do, numbers can fill the rest of the quality gap.

A fighter has been in development for like 40 years now.. That's mind boggling stupidity levels.

40 years? Now I've seen it all.....

 

[IrbiS]

For the thread title, I hope InshaALLAH and Indians will work out concerned officials for once

40 years? Now I've seen it all.....

Obviously in a strict literal sense, that figure is stretched but think about it, the time it took for lca to develop, a complete generation can grow up from taking baby steps to a full blooded graduation program in avionics.

For me it's fail level = EPIC !

40 years my god, looks like India is suffering a major blow from brain drain

Its not 40 years. Its 68 years.

First laying stone for the LCA program has been done by Gandhiji himself.

The design was finalised by nehru but was delayed in between because India allocated the LCA fund to build 3 dams near chirapunji...then Lal bahadur shastri (another PM ) instructed what missiles the aircraft should carry but that time not much option available so he instructed instead of missiles hang a bunch of bananas under the hard points, but the stupid DRDO guys couldnt shield the organic missiles as it got boiled under the heat and stress and the shell of banana caused many accidents due to slipage. And they waited until some good missile was manufactured by some country .. hence the loong delay.

Yet another story to sideline |LCA project and go for foreign maal.

Whatever happens we will stick to LCA.
