Tejas MK-1 --- $26 million a fighter JF-17 Thunder--- $23-24 million per aircraft Article dated January 11, 2014 http://www.business-stand...

I had read some where that Pak-fa due to delays in agreement with india it is unlikely india will get Pak-Fa in 2015 , and HAL have said it will take 8 Years to develop FGFA , So Its seems like Repeat of story everyone is familiar of Russian Selling us first Su-30K and then after 7 years came Sukhoi...

We are already in middle of 2014 and we still have no agreement with Russians , So how will India get Pak-Fa Prototype in 2015 ??

@ Austin Ji , Also Highlight What IAF said . “We have a major opportunity in the FGFA program,” Indian air force (IAF) Deputy Chief Air Marshal S. Sukumar says. However, “at the moment it is not very much in favor of Indian development. We are flagging it through the government. It should be much mo...

OT: vic, what is the LCA-AJT project? Any links? I think your post and mine belong to a different thread. I think he is referring to DRDO proposed LIFT (Lead in Fighter Trainer ) AJT some years back , which was trimmed down variant of LCA . but that Proposal and even that of Hal's AJT was rejected ...

Spotted Nirbhay Launcher , When is the Second test ?

karan_mc

Instead of Su-35 how about Super Su 30 MKI ? , or Second hand Mirages 2000 ?

karan_mc

Plan B should be 50 MKI direct import and 40 more orders for Tejas MK-1

First News Reports mentioned that Aakash, Prahar missiles to be displayed at Seoul Aero Show

@agupta , Problem i have with IAF is that orders placed for Tejas are very low to set up a full fledged Production line , LSP-8 was always a benchmark aircraft which will go into production so no way HAL will start working on setting up a production line in 2005 after orders were placed by IAF and k...

karan_mc

According to me , if my memory is serving me right , LSP-8 should have been ready by end of 2010 , so we lost 3 years , IAF placed first 20 orders way back in 2005 , so IAF knowing how HAL works should have expected delays and should have asked HAL to put LSP- 4 or 5 into production as Pre IOC aircr...

karan_mc

ALL LSP aircrafts are not same , so how can there be production line ? LSP-8 is IOC-2 aircraft , and IAF wants 20 Tejas MK-1 based on LSP-8 IOC2 aircraft and 20 Tejas MK-1 based on FOC aircraft which might be SP-9 or 10 , so IAF knew in advance benchmark aircraft LSP-8 is still few years away when t...

karan_mc

everyone knows IAF wants IOC-2 LCA , LSP-8 is IOC-2 aircraft, while world is ok in inducting Pre IOC aircrafts

what is Dassault thinking that some on paper company will be able to manufacture their fighters better than HAL ?? , seems like a plan to rip off IAF and MOd later by rising price midway or blackmailing them , Purre Daal hi kaali hai

At 8 a year , 800th LCA will be delivered by HAL in 2113 :rotfl: The 8 no. of LCA per year provides a five year time for the mk. 2 to come online so that as soon as the mk.1 production ends the production of mk. 2 can be taken up without the line remaining idle and hence resulting in efficient usag...
