i hope mk2 rolls out soon.

With this slow movement on getting MK1 ready, do you really think DRDO will be faster with MK2 that is only on drawing board, while they are distracted by N-LCA and now also by AMCA as it seems?
It just shows how badly DRDO is managed and where they put their priorities. Not on delivering, but on promising things!

GE 414 SN6, will be delivered 2015, hopefully mk2 will fly by 2016

First we need to have even a mock up of the MK2 airframe to integrate the engine, fuel tanks and avionics, before we can even start ground tests. With FOC of MK1 running at the same time, it will be difficult to get MK2 done too. As I said in another thread, it doesn't matter how manny projects DRDO has running, but how many of them they actually can deliver to the forces!

- LCA MK1 SP1 IOC 2 standard
- LCA MK1 SP2 FOC standard
- N-LCA NP2 hopefully with a hook
- LCA MK2 moving to prototype stage
- N-LCA MK2 concept stage
- AMCA concept stage

And they wonder why things constantly get further delayed?

Now HAL will manufacture only sp1 this year. + NP2 if thats taken into account for FOC and SP (serial production)

next year 2015 --> 8 tejas max in IOC configuration will be produced.

By God s grace if FOC is achieved in 2015 december, will HAL, UPDATE the production standard to FOC standards by jan 2016 or will they continue the remaining 10 in IOC standards itself ?


I can't understand why Manohar Parrikar said 20-30 tejas will be inducted soon..

Where it says foc by Dec 2015?

 

[halupridol]

Delay due to non-supply by Cobham of quartz radar cone and inflight refuelling probe. Nothing ADA HAL IAF can do, except what has been done, which is that an IAF team has been sent to London to speed up the delivery.

ok then what happened to BVR and Gun firing ?

We can WVR firing, for BVR at max range not sure if composite nose cone has the required tracking range.

We may have to wait until quartz nose cone arrives..

Gun firing and AoA increment should be possible.
