I have been following the Tejas project for over a decade now - and these 'patriot' Indians still don't get that the Tejas project is one big vacuum sucker for Indian politicians to skim 15% off of every foreign part bought for the project. Then they launched the Kauvery engine project in 1986 - where did that go? Failed after 30 some odd years. Net cost more than half a Billion dollars, legit percentages went to various politicians' pockets though.
It started in the 1950's with Nehru calling over Willi Messerschmitt to design their first fighter - the Marut. That was another project Indian politicians could get rich over, in the name of 'indigenous design'. And they did.
Meanwhile - the Chinese have developed all manner of jet aviation engines, starting with cruise missile sizes to those that power their heavy helicopters and heavy lifters.
More than two dozen Chinese cities boast per capita gdp of over $20,000/year. India is still stuck in the 'Hindu' rate of growth.
Gullibility - thy name is India...
