Isnt it an official recognition of the incompetency of HAL and ADA in satisfying iaf.

what aftere that , final clearance getting delayed beyond any reasonable reasoning

FOC has already been deffered from dec this year to next year. Dont get surprise if they again come up with a new date. They are doing it since ages. HAL and ADA are quite expert in doing so.

They are not incompetent as such but Govt polices in past have been to give such projects to select few Govt cos which was more then there capacity to handle all projects in time. only and hence the delay. now with entry of private sector which have no bottle necks like govt cos. Hence things will move at relatively quick pace

This has been sorted now delays is because of couple of components which will be supplied by year end and formal prodction will start early next year after final clearance by IAF by march 2016

I think Mk II will make first flight in 2018.

We are also hearing such dead lines for lca mk1 since our child hood. Keeping in view the pathetic performance of hal and ada in meeting the previous dead lines.
We are not so hope full for tall claims regarding mk11 early completion.

They might do it again and again. No one stopped them in past, no one will stop them in future also.

A defence ministry spokesperson said he was not in a position to immediately comment. Officials at DRDO were not available for comment. HAL officials said they were unaware of the discussions.

Another proposal doing the rounds suggests the setting up of a special purpose vehicle for the project in which DRDO and HAL, the entities now responsible for the LCA, could be partners along with the private sector. A foreign collaborator could also be a part of this.
"An improved version of the fighter that meets air force requirements would also have a good export potential. The numbers could go up significantly if India promotes it in and around the region as an affordable fighter," another official said. An order of such a magnitude, with each fighter costing a few hundreds of cores of rupees, could pitchfork the Indian private sector player into the global league of military aircraft makers, boost domestic aviation technology capabilities and help with the government's 'Make in India' cause.

Its big news. Whoever doubted 2018 2020 timeline, think again if this is done.

I believe Mk II will not be delayed.

We are also hearing such dead lines for lca mk1 since our child hood. Keeping in view the pathetic performance of hal and ada in meeting the previous dead lines.

There was PDF in your childhood?

The force is strong with LCA

The force is strong with LCA

Mk II will be game changer in many ways.

Mk II will be game changer in many ways.

Only time will tell...

 

[IND151]

Only time will tell...

Mk II will be superior to Mk I in many aspects, so it will be a game changer.

Mk II will be superior to Mk I in many aspects, so it will be a game changer.

Still it will be a desi light fighter,and IAF has a bad reputation when comes to desi products.Also we yet to see the actual tejas mk2.No body know how it's airframe will behave on drag issue.
