There are people who have been tasked to build the MIC by developing products and helping out in the transfer of technology to industry..Manish_Sharma wrote:They created a pilotless version of f16 a decade ago. It flew well. Maybe we can also run it as a separate project a pilotless Tejas with Kaveri GTX.

or would you prefer it if the pilots were simply ordered to do so by "higher" authorities
sorry to be so blunt, but there it is
Anyway EJ200 seems very close to GE F414, so maybe Tejas Mk.2 can fly on that.
M88 is 17 inch shorter and 9 inches thinner than Ge414 and it was able to replace in Rafale. So can EJ200.
let them get the fingers out and do what they should to do, create a pilotless test bed or an engine less aircraft like they have done now.
No one has asked them for accounts, justification or even queried their expertise until it all started to go downhill and the LCA and its engine problems started to loom large on the nation's consciousness.
The beginning of all the problems was when ABA named the aircraft tejus and literally ignited the imagination of the Indian nation, gave us pride and hope that we too could build technological wonders and stand shoulder to shoulder with the best in the world.
what's holding up the engine guys now...
I learned a lesson very early in life, always deliver more than what you have promised or don't promise
one bada तोप took 23 years to deliver a rudimentary drone and other bada तोपs are still not anywhere near delivery on their promise and it's been close to three decades now, give or take.
