He obviously meant those which are in limited/serial production(of which u obviously knew he meant), of which there are only 3 as of 9 May 2017

Then he should have asked "How many Serial productions for induction" rather than "Is full-scale serial production started? How many will be build this year"... anyways from now on I will try to read between the lines

Makes for dull writing man. As it is, the sales of newspapers are down. Do you want to further kill the sales with dry "news"

The Derby bvraam test firing takes Tejas one step closer to the FOC. Aerial gun firing and IFR trials are the next in line before FOC is achieved. Dry contact trials with an IL-78M aerial tanker are scheduled for this month .
Earlier schedules called for FOC to be achieved by June . However now FOC is planned to be achieved by December of this year. The postponement was made to ensure that the crucial tests arent rushed through and the finer details aren't overlooked.
However FOC Sop ( Standard of preparation )will be handed over to HAL in June. What this means is that HAL can start manufacturing the SP series of ac in their final operational clearance configuration from this June onwards.
Currently SP-5 is in the equipping stage . It's being manufactured in the 2nd Tejas line,the line which has been set up in the Kiran hangars.
SP-6 is in power on stage at present. It will have its first flight in June and will be delivered to the IAF before SP-5.

Production Rate is slow due to FOC process. But will be scaled up as soon as FOC will be done.
HAL already received fully furnished components for 9 Aircrafts at assembly line warehouse.

Experienced IAF Test Pilot getting ready prior to the Air-to-Air Beyond Visual Range (BVR) Missile Firing Test.
The missile fired from Tejas LSP-04 hit it's target with pinpoint precision.
The flawless launch was demonstrated with all on-board systems performing satisfactorily and the missile scored a direct hit on the target with complete destruction of it.

Thanks for the Image but the second one is not visible.
And can anyone name the Missiles on the Tejas?
I see a Derby and an R73 Training round(?)....what is she carrying under the Left Wing,next to the R73?
Edit: Looks like an adapter for the Derby. Need to get my eyes checked

 

[hacker J]

wow 20 already built that great

just looked at the site apaart from LSP, SP are the ones that we count, other never really enter service
even LSP dont make it into service usually

Yes they don't without upgrade.

Sorry the Second image is the same from FB, but not showing here , hence had to save and upload the same image as a file

The middle pylon on the port wing is just carrying a launcher - no missile. Possible to see how the frame behaves in terms of balance load

Sorry need to edit myself with the technical terms . A Pylon is an equipment on the wing of an aircraft used for carrying an engine, weapon, fuel tank, or other load. Thus can be also called a Launcher.

So the best term in this case to use is HARD POINT ... So the Middile Hard point on the port wing is just the launcher (looks like the same for the Derby on the starboard wing)

The Helmet mounted display contains many features like symbologies which includes Missile status data, seeker acquisition envelope and critical flight data such as load factor, speed, AoA, altitude, Mach number and horizon too. Cueing boxes produced from radar and RWR/ESM data can be used to mark the position of a target at the limits of visual range.

With a helmet mounted sight the pilot just has to look at the target to designateit and launch a missile for potent ‘First Sight First Shot’ capability.

From the archives of May 2014..

Presenting an image of KH-2014 (LSP-4) flying with a 725 Ltr Centerline jettisionable drop tank. The three drop tank configuration will add some more range and reach.

Jai Hind..

LCA TEJAS Delta wing plane is becoming a formidable plane. It is now ready to be inducted in number in the 2018 -2020 period. Though the pace of induction is slow- there has been a qualitative improvement over the years.
GREAT GOING

KH-2018 (LSP-8) landing back after a test sortie with the IFR.
Slowly but steadily, these tests will culminate in dry and wet engagement to the feeder machine.

Jai Hind..

that probe infront of the canopy makes the plane look ugly
