IAF Chief Raha: Have ordered 120 TEJAS planes in different forms of upgrades. Can take more also if the maker overcomes the flaws admitted.— Jugal R Purohit (@jrpur) October 3, 2015
Very bizarre, what is the MoD playing at? Why, if these commands are ready to go, are they holding back on formal approvals?IAF chief Raha confirms the three services HAVE set up SPACE, CYBER and SPECIAL OPS agencies already, pending format approval.
Fits with the AMCA's timeline nicely.IAF Chief Raha: Atleast 15 years before MiG29, Jaguars & Mirages retire. Enough time for us to plan indigenous replacement.
6 SQNs= 108 Rafales + 36 from France= 144 Rafales (at least).IAF Chief Raha: While we are getting 36 RAFALE jets from France but the requirement is for six more squadrons atleast.
So basically attain FOC (improved radar performance from the Quartz radome and successful IFR probe integration) work on both is going on as we speak and should be certified within a few months.Ready to induct 120 LCA Mk1 on 2 conditions: higher production rate & proof/demo of radar/missiles/IFR: IAF chief Arup Raha
IAF Chief Raha : IAF stands by its order for 120 Tejas fighters. We'll induct as it is & upgrade later. Production behind schedule
15 years plan for AMCA. So India will have a prototype in fifteen years... Congrats to India.
I, and others, have been reiterating this point for a while but, alas, that is neither here nor there. Confirmation (officially) at last....So we are getting 7-8 squadrons of rafale. Ab kaha gain jst 36 ko maan ne wale??? The mother of all deals remains the mother of all deals.
To my understanding, By 2022So basically attain FOC (improved radar performance from the Quartz radome and successful IFR probe integration) work on both is going on as we speak and should be certified within a few months.
Looks to be the case (Mk.1A/P whatever you want to call it). The original 40 Mk.1s will subsequently be upgraded to this standard once it is the production standard (this is referred to as concurrency in military system development).To my understanding, By 2022
40 mk1 + 80 mk1P = 120.
