What's new

Tejas, long wait for nothing

F-20 was to be a cheap fighter as Tejas is


both use GE-404 engine. heck you could take the body of the F-20 and add in Israeli avonics/radar and you would have a fighter that would be on the same level as Tejas-1 :usflag:
Then why only F 20 only
There are more jets just like the above start with LAVI. Add AESA BVR.... It's all same. Even gripen uses the same engine in current format
 
early 1980's F-20 Tigershark better than the LCA-Tejas 1 :o:


F-20-Tigershark1.jpg
Misconception LCA In its Better Form is Edge over F-20 In
  1. Terms of Engine Thrust with F404 GE-IN20 best version F404 Out there
  2. Radar Performance with Elta 2032 on An/Apg 67 with just 75 Km Tracking Range
  3. Better Use of Composites Lower RCS
  4. Armed With 3 Gen Python 5 Missile with Off-boresight Capability with Elbit Topsight-II DASH HMDS (which Tigershark Clearly Lacks Even F-16 blk 52 Lack this Capability)
  5. Now Better A2G capabilities with Litening G4 targeting pods FLIR targeting pod
  6. The LCA also has secure and jam-resistant communication systems such as the
    IFF transponder/interrogator,VHF/UHF radios, and air-to-air/air-to-ground Data Links

There many More If you want to take debate Further


He has to say what the gov wants him to say. BTW, when will Tejas be ready. It has been in development forever. Tejas program was created before return of Jedi was out. Harrison Ford have been in so many movies and now he is all washed up. And Tejas is still in development.
You just Compete the End Product with Others It is Not Behind in Any Fighter in Light Weight category.

talking about upgrading a 1980's era designed plane with the latest advancements :lol:


a lot has changed in 30 years, but the airframe is still viable.

even without composites the F-20 lighter than Tejas :tongue:

Thats is the Case with Other Fighters As-well F-16 with Latest Upgrades Can Take on Any other European Fighter Like EF or Rafale.

Sorry My Friend Your Claim Don't Have Substantive Proof.If there is I M Obliged to Listen It :azn::azn:

Tejas a 1980's era plane being developed in 2010's and it's future still isn't certain.

if India had the foresight could of bought the rights to F-20 Tigershark and rights to build the GE-404


would of saved a lot of time and money.


if Tejas is only 35% indigenous after so many decades of research that's just :flame:


when Nortrop did all this in the late 70's early 80's

Like I Said You Misinformed
  • More than 120+ LCA hundred ordered By IAF/MOD
IAF to order 100 modified Tejas aircraft - The Economic Times

  • HAL is Scaling Up Production of LCA
HAL To Double Production Capacity Of LCA Tejas To 16 Each Year

  • TOT & Production Is Shifting to Private Partners It is working on a process to rope in eight to 12 large industry partners as tier-1 or tier-2 suppliers of bigger ‘modules’ or structures, according to HAL Chairman and Managing Director T. Suvarna Raju. He said an industry partner may gear up to the task over a couple of years.

You Are To Much of the Found of CAG Report Mate.An Advice Go through Audit Reports findings on F-35 Project by Senate Committee you will be Astonished :disagree::disagree:
 
1983-DRDO obtained permission to initiate a programme to design and develop a Light Combat Aircraft

1986- Programme to develop an indigenous powerplant (engine)-Kaveri[1] was launched at GTRE
