Brown Sipoy regurgitates what their masters spit into their mouth.

There is no post COVID supply chain issue now. All are excuses.

This is full blown America- India tussle is going on.

Marut Redux
Ram Naam Satya Hai....

This needs a top level push by Modi, straight with Trumpwa. Americans know our weakness very well. Can we keep everything ready, airframes et al, by the time the engines start coming?

Hope this knocks some sense into our bean counting Babus and gormint and we invest real money in R and D without CAG threat looming on agencies involved.

So can we declare this as marut 2.0

Either we can attempt to change engine but again 3-4 years

Or ig these are pressure tactics by upcoming regime might be forcing us to allow starlink and import of tesla cars

Trashing entire Tejas program will be disaster.

Best will be to keep in on backburner till the engines arrive (if they even arrive). Start development of Kaveri / whatever indigenous engine option is available. Yeah I know it will take time, we should have started it 10 years back. But since we didn't the next best time is right now.

Meanwhile order some stop-gap jets like 2 Sqn of Su-30MKI or Mig-29 or perhaps, old Mirage-2000s.

Just because they said they will deliver that doesn't mean they need to
If 20 engines can be delivered in March why can't they deliver 2 to three engines now which won't delay mk1a induction
