Isn't it 2011 article. Much water flown under the bridge since then.
Best case could be a MKIsed PAK FA if at all , but nothing sort of a completely different FGFA

Further this also seems t...

Common how hard it is to beat them on cost? problem is not the cost for sure. It is all about aggressive marketing and launch availability rate. To pursue more commercial launch capacity has to be increased. Wiki suggest the following By increasing flight rate up to 4 per year price of an each indi...

So that would mean 6 more launches before the end of the year. More realistically, 5, one IRNSS sat may go up early in 2016. 2 more IRNSS and 1 UK launch for PSLV for sure and Astrosat can be squeezed by the end of the of year. In fact ISRO should go for more launches for PSLV since Vega is now win...

PSLV is doing good and so is H2, but check Soyuz U 724 out of 745 success. .
now this is some launch and success rate

@SJha1618 EADS has been roped in as a consultant for the LCA Navy Mk-2. It might get into production before the Tejas Mk-2. Go figure. For the record, BAE system consultant for IJT , so !! Having a consultant and immediately mapping to early production vis a vis IAF version seems strange. OT and so...

member_23694

Honestly I don't get where the issue is. The IAF chief recently has time and again mentioned that IAF will induct Tejas in numbers yet the complain that Rafale induction is detrimental to Tejas future. just a month back article http://www.oneindia.com/india/we-have-no-doubts-on-tejas-capabilities-ia...

member_23694

What is not viable is investment in production in the absence of confirmed orders. OK so a government run PSU has viability issues . Fine. I believe it has a production capacity of 8 per year for Tejas by now right. Bring all 8 in 2015. HAL has committed orders from IAF and also production line. Br...

Tell that to the MBT Arjun line workers at HVF, Avadi who've been twiddling their thumbs since 2009. That's five years of dormant production. And counting. On the positive side can we look at the HAL ALH production line ? quote from 2007 article HAL's chairman, Ashok Bajewa, states that 'the ALH to...

BRF analysts are funnier even Yes Sir, agree!! BTW should your analysis also be considered as part of BRF analysis or outside of it :wink: The ONLY plane that can replace the 7 odd squadrons will be the LCA So you think final LCA numbers will be ONLY 120-140 ? Will be more than that The ship should...

member_23694

^^^^^^ Sir ji, my quote was specific to Tejas and nothing to do with Rafale (though in the wrong thread). India buys Rafale or not, it is exclusive to the need for Tejas. My request to HAL was bring on the MK.1 ASAP, incremental 1+ and Mk.2 to follow. Once IAF starts flying them and backed by a supp...

member_23694

problem is everyone sees a business opportunity in the near term from Tejas MK.1 , 1+ and 2 in long term, except HAL. It is not ready for incremental orders rather it will up the production cycle only if it has bulk orders. Forget IAF, it is HAL which needs to show confidence on its product. Increme...

I'm talking about using it in lieu of the Hawk for the LIFT role. Post-AJT. It would have allowed for a smaller Hawk fleet and larger Tejas fleet. I am sorry but i could not understand this part. What do we mean by smaller Hawk fleet. All the ~120 Hawk AJT were ordered by 2010 by IAF and NAVY so wh...

member_23694

honestly, big credit and complement to HAL to have made the topic of discussion for an IAF plane in 2015, in terms of a BTA. A BTA will help HAL to develop design expertise(still trying with IJT), provide IAF with some aerial raid option (against whom and in which year). Where is the discourse going...

^^^^ ^^^^^^ By more Pilatus, I meant if the number of 181 is required by IAF and as usual if HAL fails to meet the timelines even for a BTA . The fun part is HAL HTT-40 as per the above link has interest from Navy, Army , Exports still HAL is criticizing the IAF. Come on make it , fly it and prove i...

forget about weapons on HTT-40. First let it fly. Target was 2015 followed by production starting from 2017. Let's see. The state-owned airframer had said that development of the HTT-40 was expected to be complete next year. Deliveries were expected to commence from 2017, with all 106 trainers being...

HAL had submitted a proposal to MoD for augmenting the production of Tejas from eight per year to sixteen. "We have submitted the proposal at the cost of Rs 1200 crore and are hopeful of completing the process in 30 months," an HAL director said. He said the Company is seeking no funding ...
