^^ forget about export..untill and unless private players are included this LCA program will be stretched too far..
 
.
initially it was 8 per year and was being said that it can be increased to 12 per year..

plz provide a link for this

that might for just limited series .... i am sure they will improve the rate .....
 
.
^^ 100 is not PRETTY SMALL, however its not big also...dont forget that LCA is somehow increasingly becoming test bed for techs which will be used in AMCA..
and it will take atleast 6-7 years to produce 100 LCA MK-2..who knows we might be testing AMCA by then...

Why is it not big? With the 40 MK1 we would compete PAFs present orders for 50 block 1 and 100 block 2 JF 17. What comes beyond them is hard to tell.
For example, everybody is thinking about AMCA, a multi role twin engine strike fighter. But does IAF really need another twin engine multi role fighter? We alrady will have an heavy class, multi role fighter. The Aura UCAV is maint on stealth and strikes, so be it for air superiority, multi role capbability, or preemptive strikes, there seems to be no futher needs, which leads me to one question:

" Wouldn't a stealhy 5. gen LCA MK3 be a better choice? It can take over the interception and CAS role, instead of just another twin engine fighter?

I think they want AMCA for the strinke role and the replacement of Mig-27 and Jaguar in the coming decades , probably after 2020.

The moment you make LCA stealth and try to make it like F-35,there is no other option other than using two engines..we will need atleast 150KN thrust for such a plane..where will we get an engine like this..and spending money again to develop such engine will result in waste of time and money.
Isn't it better to use two Kaveri in place of one imported engines..

plz do not compare iaf to paf ....... iaf is already much better than paf ..... we must see the chinese threat !!!! thats why i said 100 lca's is a pretty small....

well the right word will be

Chinese + paf

we have to be ready for worst condition
 
.
Wats the engine which would be used in lca? and wats its thrust?

lca mk1 uses fe 404in20 engines ... but iaf is not happy with the thrust ... so lca mk2 version which will come with improved avionics , aesa radar and a 95-100kn class engine .... for which contenders(99 engines) are ej200 and fe 414 engines ...ej200 also has tvc on offer but is expensive too thus rising the lca cost !!! m88-kaveri hybrid is also on offer !! which maybe used on further lca's !

Curosity kills the cat.
65 air battle... wasnt tht enough to bust the myth.
Anyways keep dreaming.

And when will LCA enter service?
And the mk2 version?
And wats kaveri hybrid?is it somethin out of the failed kaveri or some western product or JV?
By the years end we will have 2 sqadrons of JF-17... for BLK-II a chinese engine with 100 KN which can be increase and is underdevelopment for more modifications per PAFs requirements.So is AESA.And PAC is already testing 4 indigenous Avionics for JF-17.

^^ ha how typical...bring 50 yrs. old result which does not matter a bit...
you keep dreaming and live in the past..

One should learn frm his mistakes instead of being ignorant.

We learnt lessons frm the past live in the present and hope best for future.... ur problem is different.... u guys live in FUTURE and forget the past and act with ignorance.
 
.
yes..i agree ..but if ignorance and living i future means we are developing than so be it..
Rather than your method of We learnt lessons frm the past live in the present which can clearly be seen in your country i would choose my method any time..
