Mistake @12 Dec. it sould have been 1951+3 = 1954. Don't worry Sudhir sir will clear that

Of course:

But the point was, that there was no need to ground LCA, only because it has some issues with a new HMS as reported, since other helmets were available too.

There is no sign of AA target practice new for LCA!!!

Only news is that R73 is integrated.

what kind of maintenance is needed for LCA?? Is it a low maintenance bird in terms of number of hours required to make it flight ready after every sortie???

It would be overall low cost of Operationd & maintaince. But it's too early to state what it would be. Let it get in first. Rest of the info will follow it

I want the SP series jets in IAF hands for flight trails hopefully the next jet will roll out soon from the production line and will be handed over to IAF for user trails along with LSP 7. Then the flying hours will shoot up and can see the maintenance issues if any.

Good work, sir

How many flights were completed as of 23 december? (today).

Im eargerly waiting for the 2,000th flight - it'll most probably come in the LiveWire-2013 air exercise.
