The Sad Tale of Tejas!

[Vikramaditya1]

Woah we came a long way. Thanks for reminding us that.

Enough. Stop attacking members or infractions will follow

Yo, I didn't attack anyone.

I'm in the clear.

@Rohith434
You allegedly joined just Wednesday , so obviously your contract with civilisation is non existent so first lesson for a noob.

Bro a guy that launches a new idea after his previous ID got permanently banned doesnt merit or deserve the attention. The name of his previous ID? Rohithkumar9329.
Plenty of imagination and brains used to create the new ID......

You have friends?

They said the same about Mangalyaan (Mars Mission) and Chandryaan (Moon Mission)

They said the same about Mangalyaan (Mars Mission) and Chandryaan (Moon Mission)

The Indian watchman in my Building accuses the Pakistan Air Force for shooting down a Mi-17 & killing 7 jawans on 27th Feb, 2019.

Obviously, I correct him that, "No we can't take credit for something like that. It was all you guys."

See, where i'm going with this. Just 'cause you have a few Pakistani acquaintances..., I mean friends - doesn't mean that they've got all facts. Just like the watchman that I have to deal with. Not Rocket Scientist material.

Yes and we had very little experience and technical knowhow to build things domestically. Also supply chains weren't mature enough as it is today.

And it isn't some Tejas equivalent that ya'll comparing with. Its more like Pakistani Su-30 MKI than LCA.

And now more Tejas are under order than JF17s ever will.

Defence Ministry Issues Tender To Procure 97 More Tejas Mk-1A Fighter Jets

The defence ministry has issued a tender to state-run aerospace major Hindustan Aeronautics Limited for procurement of 97 light combat aircraft (LCA Mk-1A) Tejas for the Indian Air Force, officials said today.

And they will be constantly upgraded with indigenous subsystems as and when they're available. That's what development cycle means.

The JF-17 was never meant to be a competitor of Tejas, it's intended to be a cost-effective alternative for nations unable to afford advanced single-engine fighter jets like Tejas, Gripen, F16(latest version), or J-10C.

The flight characteristics is something that is continuously improving because the major cause of delay was also the biggest advantage, because the west denied us access to whole algorithms which has led DRDO to develop its own FBW here in India itself. It's all ours only. That means every hour an LCA flies, more data is collected and the software improved. This has already lead to an improvement in Angle of Attack by 1.5 degrees. The Computers have been improved to take control of the aircraft and bring it back into flight envelope....

...a cost-effective alternative for nations unable to afford advanced single-engine fighter jets like Tejas, Gripen, F16(latest version), or J-10C.

How generous of you to stealthly place yourself in the same category as the Viper, Gripen and/or the J-10c.

Why don't you just go out & put your TEJAs alongside the F-22 & F-35?

How about you first play catchup to the JF-17, and maybe the KAI T-50 - then we'll talk about putting your bucket of bolts in the conversation with the Gripen or the Mighty Viper.

This thread is so pathetic.

 

[vkdindian]

This thread is so pathetic.

Some people are so sad about the sad state of Tejas that they had to dig out deep and old to find an article and start a thread to portray the same.

Just sympathise with them, it might soothe their sad state of mind.

 

[harpy1]

The more Tejas project mushrooms and matured the more critical from our neighbours we expect ..

This is because Tejas is now a fully inducted fighter accepted into Airforce.
They have even started mark1a production

Right now it's advantages are numerous
Low Rcs
Aesa radar
Wide weapons commonality India Israel and Europe
Low cost
Modern USA Engines

Draw back load and range

Superior in cockpit tech to all fighters in Pak and Indian air forces bar Rafales and J10
Hence why Indian air forces want 180 more

 

[harpy1]

The thread was bait from windy a bit of banter

Deep down he knows their thunders have smokey dated russian engines
The airframes have no composites and suffer cracks
This is why they now seek j10 and j31

The F16 their pride have worn out engines and airframes after Forty years of service bar 18 block 52

They need china badly no options from west maybe Turkey next decade but finances May scupper this

Meanwhile expect Tejas to just get stronger and bigger and indengious Indian military power stronger

 

[harpy1]

Windy article from 2001 is desperate thinking

 

[Yasser76]

I like playing Bulls**t Bingo whenever I read about an updated or new Indian Defence project, points are for

"Game Changer"
"World Beating"
"Only the 3rd/4th/5th Country in the world too"
"Pakistan unable to"
"Potential for great export success"
"Quietly inducted" (despite article and chat show about it on every Indian media platform for previous 3 months)

This is from a western media outlet
Not indian or Pakistani
I hope it meets the strict criteria
The programme highlights the delays
But points out Indian commitments to new revised refined mark1 and the bigger version mark2
