HAL LCA Tejas: Updates, News & Discussions

MirageBlue said:
Same problem as that with the Tejas Mk1A. HAL just doesn't have new GE F-404-IN20 engines to equip Tejas Mk1 trainers whose airframe and equipment integration is done.

As of now, the only fall back option is that they're looking at all available reserve F-404-IN20 engines and those used on the Limited Series Production prototypes (called Category B engines) and after suitable checks, these will be used on new Tejas Mk1 trainer and Tejas Mk1A fighter airframes.

Basically GE has screwed IAF and HAL over royally.

But there is no real option but to accept the delays and for GE and HAL to work together to try and mitigate the delays from getting worse. And for GE to somehow crank up it's F-404 engine production which is needed for the IAF and HAL to order another 97 Tejas Mk1A.

This particular airframe was 1st spotted in March 2024, I would not be surprised if the 3 remaining airframes are either already manufactured or in advanced states of manufacturing

Thanks dear for your reply, I asked if both MK1 Trainer and MK1A has same production line and not all delivered and some are still in production then it could be one of the reason why MK1A production not started yet and it will be delayed till all delivered.

@MirageBlue answered it and i think what he said is logical and answer my question very well. What you said is also aligned with him and further answer my query well. Thank you guys.

Humility would be a better virtue but that is like kryptonite to your dna.
