India Grounds “Flawed” Tejas Jets

POSTED BY: GEORGE ALLISON OCTOBER 15, 2015

Within months of joining the Indian Air Force, Tejas fighter jets have been grounded because of problems with their landing gear.

The HAL Tejas is an Indian multi-role light fighter developed by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited.

This new problem, relating to the landing gear on the aircraft, comes after previous problems with the jet but is the first since the aircrafts introduction to service.

The Indian government had decided to accelerate introduction of the Tejas Mark 1A into the Indian Air Force in order to make up for a shortage of fighter aircraft.

In May 2015, the Mark I aircraft was criticised by the Comptroller and Auditor General of India for not meeting IAF requirements, such as a lack of a two-seat trainer, electronic warfare capabilities, the Radar Warning Receiver/Counter Measure Dispensing System, weight increases, reduced internal fuel capacity, non-compliance of fuel system protection, forward-facing pilot protection, and reduced speed. Most of these issues are hoped to be rectified in the future Mark II version.

These sort of small problems come even after induction. We have grounded even Mirage and Sukhois many time after 10 to 30 years of induction.

Normal Routine.

Teething problem nothing serious.

Just scrap the LCA.

kya hua jammer bhiyye daaton me jyaada dard hai kyaa... hota hai mere father ke daant jab girne lagge the to unko bhi bara dard hua thaa ... aap denture kyon nahi lagwaa lete

now lets get on topic thing is testing & trail phase is still on with LCA till it gets FOC and with new wieght cutting old landing gear is already going to be changed with a new more compact and light wieght landing gear in LCA as the older one was much much more beefier and hefty as it was designed for testing .... but i guess all hub bul watan pakistanies tend to ignoare that fact

and then some pakistanies say they are not scarred of LCA while they leave no opportunity to make fun of LCA strange isnt it

 

[Guynextdoor2]

Just scrap the LCA.

Why? LCA is an excellent aircraft as a point defense jet.
