But we are not ready to shell 30,000 crores for an our own engine!!
And we already to experiment with 21/2 or 3-legged cheetah
But wont commit to desi fighters!!!
Why do i get a feeling that 'Atma' in the 'Atmanirbhar' has taken a flight to Greenland to fight in the dog-sledge!!
Rajesh guru,
I have discovered after being a well wisher for desh for decades now that it is a sure fire way to get high bp and regular heart burn.. I have come to believe that it is truly the unknown rishis in the Himalayas who protect that land. The leadership in almost any facet otherwise ...tauba tauba. Hackthoo.

As of now this is more of a test/ trial group. Could be linked to a non amirkan engine for Tejas MK1A or something else I dont know at this point.
Sorry I missed this post.
I think there is a plan for a new jet engine to be installed in Mk1A. At least the 97 additional planes and an extra benefit is export orders don't need US permission.

I heard on various YouTube videos about SAFRAN trying to match the mounting pattern for Tejas Mk1A.

Meantime HAL chairman is on a visit to GE plant.
Sort of 'come to Jesus' meeting.
My take is GE will promise but won't deliver. Clearly they have govt pressure not to deliver per contract.
So an alternate engine should be explored.
