Over 60% of ‘Made In India’ IAF Tejas Grounded

[PAKISTANFOREVER]

Global Village Space |

Indian Air Force officials are dismayed and demoralised with the announcement at the inauguration of Aero India-2021 Show held at the Yelahanka airbase on the 3rd of February by Indian Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, awarding a ₹45,696 crore ($6.25billion) contract to Hindustan Aeronautics Limited-HAL to supply 83 LCA (light combat aircraft) Mk-1A jets to the Indian Air Force, for a varied number of reasons, primarily due to the Tejas aircraft suffering basic design flaws that have not been dealt with by its manufacturer the Hindustan Aeronautics Limited-HAL despite working on numerous Tejas prototypes for more than 35 years, consistently suffering the issue of 60% of Tejas aircraft being grounded at all times.


The second reason for resentment among upper echelons of the Indian Air Force is the unusually long delivery time for the ordered aircraft with the first Mk-1A aircraft to be delivered for induction after three years that is not before 2024. With the rest being supplied by 2030, that is again if HAL is able to keep up with the production schedule, which does not reflect the delay stricken bureaucratic ji culture prevalent at the aircraft manufacturer, amply displayed with the 35 year history of the LCA development programme.

40 of the Indian Airforce frontline Tejas fighters that have so far been inducted by the Indian Air Force are facing critical issues, such as shortfalls in meeting the engine thrust and other parameters such as weight of the aircraft, fuel capacity, pilot protection from front against 7.62 mm bullets due to which 60% of Tejas continually stand grounded. The HAL Tejas LCA MK1A, is a lightweight, single-engine, multi-role combat aircraft developed locally by Defence Research And Development Organisation of India. Tailor-made to suit the needs of poor countries like India.

Pure Pakistani propaganda done by a Pakistani writing in of all places a blog spot. Even the owners of the blog page say these are the views of author and the no one vouches for this "propaganda" .
Its laughable how desperate the Pakistani diaspora has become.
They are darkening their shalwar Kameez as they watch India moving ahead in the aero-space industries.

Lmao we know this is not true but we are happy that india is getting treated the same way it treats us you spread propaganda that 40% JF17 are grounded we made it 60% Tejas ab khush ho jao...

Secondly we have been watching india for decades... india really has moved forward in space industry but about indian Aeronautical industry we all know how it is going and we know who is darkening dhotis in dreams of AMCA for 14 years now

Considering that the MiG-29K with Indian Navy were once around just 16% serviceable, Tejas by contrast may turn out to be the spearhead of IAF.

''According to the report, serviceability of the MiG-29K was low ranging from 15.93 per cent (2011-2012) to 37.63 per cent (2014-2015). The MiG-29K’s service life is 6000 hours or 25 years, however issues with the aircraft drastically reduce this range. Serviceability means that the Mig-29K is technically available and not undergoing scheduled repair or overhaul. The service life of the RD-33 MK engine is 4000 hours or ten years with an overhaul life of 1000 hours. The Indian Navy ordered 113 engines together with the 45 aircraft (90 installed on aircraft and 23 spare engines''

No No for grounding you need to go in air, when did Tejas perform that miracle of going in air? It was on the ground and is firmly standing on the ground Sir.

guys love the bit when he says,tejas was built for poor countries,like India

then wrote 7 billion dollars,next to it

that's,so funny

Desperate author.
This 40% figure is a over 5 year old news from September 2015 when only 2-4 Tejas were in service.

Despite Flaws, India to Induct Tejas Mark 1-A Fighter Aircraft

The government has decided to induct at least seven squadrons of the made-in-India Tejas Mark 1-A Light Combat Aircraft or LCA into the Indian Air Force, to make up for a shortage of fighters.

Do you have ANY evidence to confirm the above?.........

PS No indian FAKE NEWS or propaganda.

 

[TheSnakeEatingMarkhur]

are you suggesting that you will counter fake news with counter fake news ? God help the forum then

Bro we will counter fake news with fact checks.. and we will troll back once in a while... like this one... you grounded our 40% we grounded your 60%

ever.since the tejas deal.was signed,and official news,on swarm drones,
cats Astra and rudra standoff weapons Amca have become global defense news the pakistan trolling and Bashing has escalated.
I sense a real deep insecurity
they see,the Massive indian navy with indian warships,already including carriers,and nuke subs so fully understand it was,just a,matter of time before aerospace became huge indian domain and success,
you guys are fully aware world class isro space,technology and the 100.billion dollar a year export in info tech business.
now you fear Amca and drones,and missles like Astra,rudra are.coming.

the criticism.is,actually a fear and begrudging acknowledgement

Lmao billi or billi k khuwab... this is just a sip of propaganda back.. the difference between you and us is that we do not believe in sh*t like this and stay logical... on other hand what you wrote up says it all about what indians have been turned into by indian propaganda for 15 years...

And instead of enforcing a ban on the thread, you are laughing. good job...

Why shall it be banned when we can have a laugh while indians whine here
