Re: Air Force Tejas Mk1A: News & Discussions: 02 January 2022
I agree with Prem that HAL will need 4th LCA line. So far, we have been talking about fulfilling IAF orders. If HAL gets an export order, they will definitely need to produce more than 24 LCAs per year. I know, just a wish list right now but since Bhagwaan has been benevolent so far, why not state a...

A welcome and expected step. They had to release WingCo Abhinandan and tried to pre-empt the 5PM conference. Some serious ball-crunching must have been done behind the scenes to get them to do it.

All these posts but I saw only one post asking am important question? Why PAF attacked in day?
No/limited night-time capability?
As for rest, we don't know the calculations of IAF/GOI so we will support them, whatever they decide to do.

Question.
If Uttam is almost ready and can be inducted in 2 years or so and MK-1A is scheduled to fly only after 3 years from contract signing, then why are we buying Elta-2052? Why not use Uttam right from beginning?
Is it just to mitigate risk?

So, if Uttam is ready to be integrated then are we still going for 2052/RBE-2 for MK1A?
Doesn't it make sense to quickly mount Uttam on some PV/LSP and get it ready for MK1A as well?
