Dont mind our indian friend. However, to be honest you shouldn't really pick on him with the Tejas, since almost nobody in the world even knows about the Tejas, since its an insignificant fighter that even the IAF doesn't want as they are obviously aware of the fact that its a substandard/crappy fighter in today's world, forget about exports to the countries. lol
Dear mike2000 is back I like you brother, but your this post was the worst I read from you.
Nobody in the world even knows about the tejas --- What makes you comment this, Do you think India have the policy to hide things, test, specification, problems, infact ADA frequently give out official statement to the media about all the development of the project. Now are you expecting wind tunnel data, or Tactical Data Link source code in the public Domain.
Second you need to update yourself with the 125 LCA tejas MK-1A order.
Third how can you claim that IAF doesn't want LCA tejas, when Tejas is the only fighter plane in the whole world which is able to fulfill the IAF requirement to replace Mig-21 Bison. How ? take cost, capability, certification from high altitude test from LEH (All 5 MMRCA contender fails), Hot weather, cold weather tests. If you think otherwise provide facts to claim it.
At least he can mention/boast about his patron Russia, even though as of now even Russia has no operational fighter jet more advanced than our Typhoons. The only OPERATIONAL fighter jet that i will admit is more advanced than Typhoon is U.S F-22 raptor , plus there is also France's Rafale which the only other operational fighter jet in the world which is in the same league with the Typhoon. Plus with the continuous/constant upgrades the Typhoon is going through these next
Russia don't have no operational fighter jet more advanced than Typhoons --- You must be Kidding, Take the Present condition, does Typhoon could be compared the same for Su-34 Pullback for Ground attack or Su-35 in Strike Role. Advance in which Avionics, Airframe design, Radar, Weapons. weapon load, Range.
Is Captor, MBDA Meteors ready to be deployed.
Question is Do you have anything to counter PAK-FA without US - F-35.
Sorry to burst the bubble but EF-2000 is the last fighter plane of the Europe to be designed by Europe, and that too was possible only due to the German contribution, money, and faith in your costorium. And many of your experts are questioning the EF to have little advantage over the US - birds like F-15E, F-18 but mammoth cost.
4 years it will only increase the gap between it and other fighter jets in its class.
So does the technologies of the world is changing fast. Earlier it was the Russians, now Chinese are clossing the Gap at very high rate. But does UK or the europe have the capability like Russian, or Chinese to Mass produce weapons Without US, you would be in Delimea state buddy.
