lol, India not refused initially and fore few years, that time PAK refused for the same. after 30-40 years you started remember UN.
What stopped you for Vote in 47?
This shows that plane is not proper tested in all environment. World best Selling plane F-16 failed in Leh while Tejas is passed with flying colour. This difference tells a lot isn't ? This is gauge......parameter need to be covered in testing before passing the plane.
Well I was their in...
Well at present situation is more technical advance then Chinese JFT, The IAF is not in a situation where it need half backed plane that's why IAF has time to develop full Multi-Role plane.
Guage from the fact that within 4 years, JFT crashed, and PAF still prefer F-16 for doing laser...

What HAL is totally justify, Its developed its own Plane and its own technology.
Like India developed its own Flight control software , that's why it can tweak to its own requirement. which can be seen short take in Navy LCA. Can integrate any missile etc.
Lol, the same reason you are purchasing f-16 , like to go SU's etc..... you logic are even more funnier....
lol , you don't understand what he meant to say. .. 30 yrs Indian developed its own airspace industry, developed its own technology and capability. Which will help in next plane...
Sir , test Pilots are all Ex-IAF , and two planes are already handed over to IAF pilots along with full instructions. Integration will be more easy in IAF since it don't have to wait for Add weapon package . It getting Multi-Role plane in ready to fly condition like Rafale. It wont take more...
