Oh dear this aircraft has been delayed alot but now things seems to have stabilized for it

 

[Imran Khan]

Looks like many generation of scientists will come before this fighter in finally inducted

Well I Hope Things Will Be Smoother in Mark-2 As ADA & DRDO Have got Experienced in going through Whole Mk1 Project

Hope this test will successful

I dont know what's with some of the comments. The road for Tejas Mark 1 is pretty much over, after the BVR missile tests and integration of air to air probe and new cone, what's really left?

The only pressing problem is the delivery of the air to air prone and new cone.

Here's an image of Tejas's BVR missiles.

Python, Derby

Even mark 1 hasnt yet got FOC and waiting for induction and you are asking the deadline for mark 2 induction.

Yes they will keep on inventing the wheel. Lets hope they can satisfy iaf.

FOC may spill over to March 2016?

the top MoD official said: "There are still some passing clouds hanging around.

Refueling probe, nose cone radome awaited

To complete the FOC points, the air-to-air refueling probe from Cobham hasn't arrived yet.

The nose cone quartz radome too is being awaited.
ADA says that almost 75 per cent of work related to FOC has been completed.

LOL!!!

JF-17 already has operational BVR status...

hopefully tejas become somewhat decent..not another junk like arjunk tank of india.

Most developed aircrafts test air to air missiles at the beginning later with air to ground stores, tejas just the opposite ..

We are slated to catchup with JF mk3 , in two years.. With AESA .

dude, atleast have tejas flying first...before you dream of "catching upto" JF-17 block III.

JF-17 Thunder has been matured, has performed in various air shows, have gone under rigorous testing and trials, and have been evaluated by foreign militaries earing their praise and even export orders!!!

Tejas are miles behind JF-17 in almost every measure...only fanboy indians live in their own shadows.

There is no comparison to JFT now. It has left tejas far behind...

You don't directly jump from having no aircraft inducted to "block 3" with "AESA"....It takes rigorous trials and testing and operationalization before new technology like AESA is added to the airframe.

And JF-17 block II is integrated with air-to-air, air-to-ground, and anti-ship weapons along with targeting pods. All of these things are ON JF-17 now after years of trials.

Tejas isn't even operational with a WVR weapon, let alone other things...

I thought Astra employ Derby & Python 4 but according to poster it will be integrated with Derby, I-Derby & Python 5

PAF inducted JF-17 when its not got FOC (neither BVR or WVR capable & many air to ground missile yet to be Integrated ), IAF didn't
PAF would induct JF-17 MK II without IFR (fitted in 19th aircraft) & slightly avionics upgrade. IAF want battle ready IFR , BVR, WVR fitted aircraft from day one.



Only reason is new found money.
Before liberalization same IAF operated HAL developed Kiran IJT, Deepak BT & HF-24 Marut.
