HAL LCA Tejas: Updates, News & Discussions

[Yasser76]

11 Tejas were delivered in FY24 ending 31st March. More assembly lines are coming online this year and next year. HAL will deliver 24 Tejas per year from next financial year i.e. 2025-26.

At last, thanks for the straight answer, unsure how it was so hard for others. 11 planes made and delivered in FY 24, that is not too bad at all

Yasser does not appreciate concept on new assembly lines post contract award
He does not understand scaling up with bigger orders
Keep the answer simple for him

We delivered 40 Tejas in service today of mark one version in six years
We are to deliver 83 mark one A in four years max beginning 2024.
And another 97 between 2028 203

No, I get that, you lot have droned on about it, only one person could give a straight answer to a straight question. Want to carry on insulting me or want to move on now? Choice is yours.

You make a simple scenario into a huge debate
Who cares how many where delivered in 12 months
Move on
Celebrate the success of a important project started in 1990
We now have indengious gallium nitrate Aesa radars
Three types of Astra Bvr
Three types of Rudram stand off land attack missiles
Ew suites
Complete eco system to develope mark two Tejas and move to Amca fifth generation

The best bit now we have allocated billions of dollars to both projects officially sanctioned

Now that is worth debating don't you think

The power rating of GaA TR module, that go into Uttam radar for Tejas Mk1A is 10 W.

So, the power rating going to 912 *10 = 9.1 kW (Peak Power). Its quite a powerful radar.

You think yearly production rate is not important? Fancy gadgets and systems are all good, but if you are not producing enough aircraft to replace even yearly attrition then something is wrong, furthermore higher production rates keep prices down.

Essentially if Tejas cannot get to at least 18-20 planes a year (a sqds worth), you will end up not filling the MK1A backlog till around 2035, anyway, you seem to know better....

Which part of the new assembly lines increasing rates to 24 fighters are you struggling to comprehend
I believe six people have explained this to you
Yet you persist to ask the same question

You missed the point completely, never mind...

Installing the UTTAM AESA Radar on the Tejas enables it to fire Meteor missiles, similar to the Gripen, Eurofighter, and Rafales.

Sorry, the link stats 11 by March 2024, but how many years of production does that 11 represent?

Of course it matters how many were made in the past. If HAL can only deliver a handful of jets a year (say 2-3), how does it expect to ramp up to 16 a year? Even with a new production line that is just 4-6 planes a year. See the issue here?

Numbers are not important as much as the fact the Tejas Mk1A will be equipped with the cutting-edge Gallium Nitride UTTAM AESA Radar, representing the latest in radar technology. This radar enables the use of advanced weaponry. All fighter jets in the IAF will undergo upgrades with this indigenously developed radar. However, the Tejas Mk1A, already equipped with the UTTAM Radar, will stand out as a game-changer, representing the pinnacle of IAF's capabilities.

Nope. You need to show numbers on the ground, not keep regurgitating everything on paper.

It is not about Uttam radar, but you can integrate Meteor with any FCR, albeit French share source code with you to integrate that with MC and FCR.

Nope you need to build a full Indengious fighter at home so you need not go running to other countries for help me

Get that right and long term it's utopia
Numbers will come because as we keep telling you Pakistani people the assembly lines are growing and funding approved

HADF pod with DCMAWS

SIVA Pod​

I have heard it from extremely reliable sources, that HAL actually try to integrate new variant of SIVA pod on LCA Mk2's wingtip like in Growler.

Wingtip based HADF/ELINT Pod on Growler​

Further development of LBJ for LCA Mk2 and MKI is in full swing for SEAD/OCA.

I know, you keep telling us for the last 10 years, you made 2 squadrons, but in next 10 years you will make 10 squadrons. Lets revisit this thread at end of this year and see what 2024 brings, think you may go into hiding by then....
