The Light Combat Aircraft will attain IOC this year and FOC by 2015

Is this Parsun blog ?

Force is his magazine.

Ahead of the FOC, crucial milestones that the project needs to complete include, integration of the missiles with the radar(BVRAAM), integration of Russian-made 23 mm GSH gun, air-to-air refuelling probe, better braking system and change of nose cone radome from composite materials to quartz for an improved range.

What!!!! not even gun has been integrated on LCA...Seriously is this some joke...Apart from this the radar on LCA doesn't even support BVR enagagements....Great another nail in the coffin of IAF..... keep this project going on.. you people are doing a great great job...well done!!!

@Oscar @Aeronaut Take care of this troll please.

I am highlighting the facts from the article and you think i am troll...

''LCA took 40 years.''
''LCA's radar range is hardly 50 km's & doesn't even support BVR enagagements.''
''LCA cannot none can fire bvr or even wvr missile.''
''LCA has RCS of 5m2''

You have won...

''LCA has RCS of 5m2''
''LCA has no gun''
''LCA radar doen't support BVR''

Thanks!!! You don't either have any proofs to debunk my claim's...Above are the reasons due to which IAF is not in the mood of inducting this plane, rather LCA is being forced down IAF throat...

Project definition commenced in October 1987 and was completed in September 1988.The LCA design was finalised in 1990 as a small tail-less delta winged machine with relaxed static stability (RSS) to enhance manoeuvrability performance.Phase 1 commenced in 1990 and HAL started work on the technology demonstrators in mid-1991; however, a financial crunch resulted in full-scale funding not being authorised until April 1993

do the math for yourself.

And whats the range of Elta M2032 ? your guess ?

R-73 is an infrared-guided missile, range less than 30 km's ( it is still in testing phase)..We are talking about radar homing BVR's...
Apart from the video both articles doesn't state any figures..or do they???
range of Elta M2032 is 80nm or 130 km's, but the nose of the aircraft distorts the radars performance decreasing it by more than 50 %..

You did say it cant fire a WVR,didnt you ? And you did say it cant carry anything other than dumb bombs.

Now prove that Elta 2032 doesn't support BVR enagagements.

Apart from the video both articles doesn't state any figures..or do they???

What figures ? RCS or time taken ?

About RCS its 1/3 rd of comparable fourth gen designs.And development period is 24 years,from finalization of design to entry into service.

range of Elta M2032 is 80nm or 130 km's, but the nose of the aircraft distorts the radars performance decreasing it by more than 50 %..

Hence a new quartz radome is being developed.

@gslv mk3

You are putting way too much effort on trying to make people understand, that doesn't want to understand, so why bother? You made some very informative post a few days ago in another thread and I suggest to simply make such posts here as well and let the facts speaks for itself. Those who are interested in the fighter, it's techs and capabilities will appreciate it, those who only want blame games won't but should not bother you.

Just ignore the trolls and keep the thread on the LCA and it's development!

@sancho are these the final production planes that will be given to the IAF or are these for testing purposes?

No, they include prototypes and early versions too. Some of them has the old APU for example and at the left side, you can see the vertical tail of the N-LCA MK1.

India have money because their economy is doing well so they can afford many military projects and LCA is one of them, also west want them against China so they will get tech which west may not like to provide to others therefore their equipment will be having advance tech same goes for LCA it has foreign equipment like engine, radar etc and Dassault helped them in perfecting the design of the plane.

If all above mentioned factors were available to Pakistan then JF-17 would have been much more advance plane then most modern F-16s block-60/61.

Pakistan brothers please don't get into troll posts regarding LCA as it will be a 4.5 gen plane soon but it will take India to make it fully indigenous as they claim it is now.
