with which country is helping them
somalia , sudan and maldives
Thanks A lot Mauryan for your post. Lets hope that Kaveri too gets developed
"completely " with its recent success in high altitude trials in Russia
and consultancy offered by SNecma
The annoncement for new engine for Mk 2 must come soon .EJ 200 or GE414.
Its a shame actually that IAF took so long to order even two squadrons as if they are still in doubt of LCA project's future. LCA is now at such stage where IAF can safely order 6 squadrons. This investment will improve production speed as well as give a big boost to confidence of LCA team. Also this will convince DRDO to invest more into LCA programme, otherwise LCA will die just like Arjun, a success but tiny orders.
This lethargy of IAF to push or support Indian R&D is very visible. A large part of Indian defense budget is unutilized and has been returned to Finance ministry. Its a shame that they couldn't invest some of it in futuristic R&D related to LCA-MKI or MKII.
US airforce is famous for its heavy funding across universities for future weapon systems and studies.
What Indian Airforce is famous for? For paying 50 visits each year, to foreign weapons companies and funding studies to discuss "imported" toys.
IAF will never improve its vision and will always remain dependent on imported toys.
^^^,I fear that I might have to spill some beans here and there.LCA-MKII with new engine and new radars( mind the numbering) and new EW suite will be no way less than the top notch 4.5+ gen fighters flying today.
It will be pissing the enemy with its utter low RCS that no other below 5th gen fighter posses.Do I mind saying that MKII is utilising the technologies developed in house for AMCA?Yes I do.
LCA-N will feature so many wonderful avionic and surface tracking and targetting systems which for the first time ever been developed in the country that are even comparable or exceed the capabilities of similar systems from the west.
AWACS and Samyuktha programs offered so many spin-offs that can be integrated on the current and future aircrafts including the long range IRST developed from a civilian program.
All in all,even if DRDO promise that LCA-MKII can be inducted by 2015, take it with positive spirit-because it will still be comparable to the aircraft we will be inducting then aka MRCA.
nope afghanisthan,
New Recruit
Dude, not even close to the Ansat model. C'mon now!Overall specs & shape are identical to Kazan Ansat-2RC.
New Recruit
T-129 and LCH are similar in most aspects. But, LCH is brand new while T-129 is old. So, expect some unique features in LCH that gives it an edge over the T-129s.is it have par with t-129 which Pakistan is going to by from American firm (specially made for turkey)
with which country is helping them
just saw it flying near HAL....really looks beautiful....
Btw, fact that we need foreign help on any main part of LCA MK2 and N-LCA, says enough about developing MCA in house alone. Not realistic at the moment and just distracts from the work we still have to do on LCA. Without developing LCA till the end, there is no hope for MCA anyway!
