You at last admitted that it isn't indigenous ... First flight in 2001 means nothing ... Talk to me when it gets operational ... The 2 squadrons of PAF are equipped with JFT as of now ... Enlighten me if the same is true for Tejasactually 10 years first flight was in 2001 the design freeze was in 1990 91 was when the economic problems happened sanctions happened in 98 we were hit with a technology embargo how the hell can you make a fighter jet when the sale of technologies has been prohibited by the international community? the American engines powered the technology demonstrators and the FBW was developed entirely in India
The same Mig 21's which are so lovingly nicknames " the flying coffins " by your media and stop lying about the design freeze and sanctions ... Tejas only got design finalization in 1991 ... How exactly was the design frozen then ?Tejas IOC this year its complete some testing is still being done but its ready to enter IAF service besides its better than those ancient MiG-21's which is the purpose of it entering service in fact thats why the entire development was carried out
HAL Tejas
1991 Design of LCA was finalised as a small delta winged relaxed static stability aircraft.
Phase 1 of the development was commenced to create the proof of concept system. Financial problems within India prevented full scale operations from starting.
1993 Full funding started from April 1993 full-scale development work for phase 1 started in June.
1995 First technology demonstrator, TD-1, rolled out on 17 November 1995 and was followed by TD-2 in 1998. However, technical problems in flight control systems and structural deficiencies plagued the prototypes and they remained grounded.
1997 Multi-Mode Radar (MMR) for LCA design work started at HALs Hyderabad division and the LRDE.
How was the funding provided if you were so under economic crisis ? It looks like Wiki is enough to debunk your claims
IAF forced to fly MiG-21s till 2017 due to Tejas delay
Its official news ... Does it matter if you dont believe it ? Shivalik was never an indigenous endeavour ... It was based on another Russian design and designed by them in Indiaand what the hell have you proved? all you've done is posted some crap off Wikipedia i'm asking you for a link not some fairy tail conspiracy BS Talwar frigates are the modified Krivaks not the Shivaliks your ignorance amazes me come up with a link that the Shivalik frigates are Russian quite frankly i am not interested in your BS
Bro I never mentioned it in my post if you care to see thatThe United States government states that the Ghauri design is based on North Korea's Rodong-1 (also known as Nodong-1) missile
Where do you see Ghauri 1 here ?What about Raad ALCM , Nasr ( Hatf 1X ) , Abdali , Ghaznavi , Ghauri 2 & 3 and Shaheen 1 , 2 & 3 ? Which missiles are they copied from ? Even you received Soviet assistance to start your nuclear programme
