You know,F35, Su29/30, Mig29K, M2000 and even FC1 were exported even before mass induction into own air forces. Infact the list is quite long

Dude, there is a huge difference between "exporting" to your vassals and exporting to sovereign independent nations

Have heard AIM multiple times saying that the GE deal had slow engine delivery in their timeline.

He is too apportunistic to be taken seriously, always plays(grabs money from) both sides.

Its sarcasm.. Spike NLOS is good choice. Got 20 km range in slightly smaller package than HELINA. Spike NLOS should also go in LCH and WSI Dhruv. I just hope latter two dont have fuel leaking issue still.

If anyone has access to the DDRs indigenization appreciation hour please post it here ... It looks like it got removed . It had a pretty good summary on all the different options under which the F35 could operate here (none good).

Yes it is true, GE had been ringing the warning bell for years before HAL signed the deal, and when they did, they had clearly indicated delays are nigh impossible to avoid given they were being asked to reopen a shut production line.

Did that delay was included in the earlier timeline of march 23? if not, then I don't know why GE is silent when HAL is dragging their reputation through the mud. GE are global player and take their PR very seriously.

Because if GE speaks out, they know some chutiya babu in MoD will cancel any prospects of future orders.

isn't it quite the opposite, our Tejas, mk2 and AMCA are all designed around GE's engines. So they literally have monopoly over india's aero engines..

Indeed. India set out to develop a turbofan to avoid reliance on foreign suppliers for engines but did not develop its own turbofan. Not for want of trying, some might say. Very much for want of trying, I would say.

It's GE engines or nothing for all indigenous designs until at least the early/mid 2030's IMO.
