Your own navy chief already rejected both the mk1 n mk2.
So what 'operational variant'? Operated/going to be operated by whom? Going to be produced by whom n for whom?
The IN is still supporting the program. They are also paying 25% of the second production line of the LCA. Mark 2 is still going on, supported by the IN. Mark 1, was never supposed to be inducted.
Its my responsibilty spoonfeed u n tell u where in the article it is?
Where?
The statement made by the CNS Admiral Sunil Lanba on 03 December 2016 of the aircraft being overweight pertains to the LCA Navy Mk1, and not the redesigned and optimised LCA Navy Mk2.
The failures of LCA Navy Mk-1 should not, however, be projected on to the LCA Navy Mk2, which is progressing well at ADA – a development effort supported by CNS.
The Indian navy is still funding the program, along with the production line for the IAF, not even for IN yet.
