We can only discuss J-31 once it enters service. Both the Rafale and Tejas are already operational with Indian Air Force, J-31 is not yet in service with either Pakistan Air Force or the Chinese Air Force.

Why Not Tejas MK1A than MK2 and then AMCA? Indian SU30 can detect J20 from far away and Pakistan don't have money to buy J31/35 and which is not coming before 2032-35 and Chinese jets are junk and inferior to MK1A so what's the hurry and why 500 and why ASAP?

I hear that two GE F404 engines have been shipped to India. Does this mean the two Tejas MK1A jets will be delivered in a few days, or will these engines be used for the trainer jets, since three Tejas trainer jets are also due for delivery?

2 engines are supposed to come this month..But nothing is clear regarding the delivery of MK1A. No chatter, nothing .

Absolutely fabulous footage of the flight with 1 Tejas Mk1 flown by AM AP Singh and the 2 Tejas Mk1 trainers with Lt Gen Raja Mani (Vice Chief of Staff, Indian Army) and Admiral Swaminathan (Vice Chief of Staff, Indian Navy) in the backseats.

 
You know what Tejas was amazing for proving the military complex on how to design and build and enter service a indengious fighter we now need to deliver the fleet numbers and move to Amca
 
“GE has given a new schedule…They will start the delivery of engines from November,” a high-ranking source told ThePrint. Sources further said GE has promised them two engines per month. Government sources said GE had informed them there were supply issues and that re-certification of new vendors took time.
Sources said HAL’s production plans were on schedule, and that the engines would be integrated as soon as they came in.
HAL has set up a new production line in Nashik for the LCA Mk1As, besides the one in Bengaluru which can produce 16 aircraft in a year. The public sector defence company can now make a total of 24 aircraft.
