LCA TEJAS MK-I & MK-IA: News and Discussion

[Hari Sud]

Which next Generation Tank army is designing??
Which next generation BMP and amphibious vehicle army is designing??
Which Assault Rifles is army designing??
Which ATGM army is designing??

2035 will come in next 10 years. Meanwhile designing, prototype development and trials alone take 15 years.

It's not blackpilling, it is a state of our armed forces

Tanks, armoured carriers will fall easy prey to flying bombs and UAVs, hence too much emphasis on them is not good.

We have Ak203 then we do not need to design and build anything else. Although there is one better designed by private sector.

ATGM of hand held and helicopter mounted are ready. Except that Army men did not get commission hence making no progress.

Today Indian produce all sorts of artillery guns but how many Army inducted?? Zero.

Garuda v2 has been inducted and even prepared for air drops

Actually other way around is true... To much emphasis on UAV is also not good. UAV is okay but strong jamming can leave them useless. Until we have autonomous UAV.

Without armoured carrier and tanks it's impossible to launch an attack on front line.

UAV is just another layer of offence and defence in the battle but UAV presence doesn't mean Tanks or armoured carriers are useless.

Even knife is still relevant in the war and you are disregarding tanks and armoured carrier.

When did Army design anything? They just buy weapons from PSU and Private companies. Except Col. Bhansod there is no dedicated person/Team working on building solutions for Armed Forces.

They are just sitting there crying about imports while DRDO/Private Companies products completed user trials and sitting out for orders.

BDL is just waiting for orders. Tata is waiting for orders, Mahindra is waiting for orders, Kalyani is waiting for orders.

Don't know what Army is waiting for.

Some info to add on oil Guage theory of tejas crash
With this info it seems crash was either due to genuine technical failure or human error in interpreting the warning, rather than "deliberate" sabotage.

According to idrw, HAL's production prediction:

FY 2025-2026: 20
FY 2026-2027: 25
FY 2027-2028: 30

idrw warns that 'flawless coordination' will be required for these numbers to be reached. I guess that using the 'flawless coordination' system is the norm for other OEM's in the world wishing to get kit out of the factory door on time.

Any info on the credentials of the poster?

The guy in the server who talked about f404 says he's a "mantinence engineer of fa-18 super hornet of Australian airforce".
The old man who runs the channel millinium 7 has a degree in aeronautical engineering, served in Italian airforce, and had a part In eurofighter program(his words).

People undermine the power UN Generals for sabotage as similar they undermine corruption in judiciary.

How Come Army General feed faulty OFB shell to ATAGs and Dhanush but not for Naxter or ATHOS or M-777??

Do they show any concern to the people who will get injured??? No, so why will be any concern import Air force show for Pilot??

LCA Tejas crash was a pure Sabotage. Brand new Aircraft which did not fly even 40 hrs.

Notorious UN Generals and Judiciary deliberately spread propaganda information in public to save them.

Newbie here, atleast in the airforce section
Was wondering if the Tejas Mk1a series could be upgraded even more in the future. I mean is there a space and possibility for building upon the already existing Mk1a platform. That would be great considering we lag behind, is a 4.5th gen aircraft like Tejas upgradable to match Rafale standards?

Yes.
Not as much electrical power and not as powerful and bigger avionics, but can be as advanced.
But in future after 2040, electrical power could start becoming limiting factor, even if we put more powerful engine and generator.
