Re: Air Force Tejas Mk1A: News & Discussions: 02 January 2022

Hmm I don't see even 1/100th of enthusiasm to latch on some kind of deal for F404. When F404 will power (if everything goes right, I am having doubts, Let's see what is Ram's wish) some 220 planes (and we have only made some 55 planes including LSPs), we will need at least 400 new engines (including...

What is interesting is that first Mk1A squadron will not be raised at Sulur AFS to iron out ‘issues’. I think the platform has matured and ready for front line duty (in spite of the Mk1A having decent amount of new stuff over FOC/IOC jets).

SU30MKI with say 200-400 KM range standoff weapon is a very superb in breaking -the-door mission. In fact it is very stealth plane at that point. Many targets cannot see it and that can see cannot do much about it, except track the standoff weapon coming their way.

Let me be the first to post we are a 4 trillion economy as of today (nominal). Number 4th and 3rd are in very striking distance.
While our economy grows theirs is at best stable or at worst shrinking. Most likely we will cross them way before projected data, perhaps by 2025.
