India should market LCA Tejas Trainer has lead-in fighter trainer (LIFT)

[damiendehorn]

Just a question to all those who think this will be a option in the LIFT market. Who would buy them, what would be its advantages against its competitors and what would the likely price?

A advanced dedicated teainer like the YAK 130 cost around $17-20m each, the L15 most prob around the same. The current estimate for the LCA is a minimum of $26m each excluding dev costs, it will cost more then $40m each for export. A 2 seater LIFT version of the LCA will cost a minimum of $35m each, who would buy it at that price? Vietnam? Israel? Who?

$35 million for an IOC Tejas. No BVR. No Mid-air refuel. AoA at 24-26 degrees. Massive ejection issues and an oversized helmet.

What excellent radar? What super manoeuvrability? What super ew suite?

A pilot after flying this flying object will not like to fly a real combat fighter aircraft?

Thats why your post needs to be merged into the jokes section

The Tejas Mark I will be one of the world’s most affordable fighters in its class. Ministry of Defence (MoD) sources tell Business Standard that Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd (HAL) has quoted a price of Rs 162 crore per aircraft for the first 20 Tejas fighters that have begun production in Bangalore. That translates into a dollar price of approximately $26 million per fighter
Broadsword: HAL pegs price of Tejas light fighter at Rs 162 crore

It is because you lack the knowlede in the area. LCA is praised for its excellent flight control system, Initial turn rate and agility and pilots rate it above Mirage 2000 which is an exceptional plane so far as handling is concern. Even after arrival of new planes like MKI, Old mirage lead in this area. Tejas is on of the same aircraft. You can not have a better trainer than Tejas which has a 90 KN thrust engine with low weight and high agility. Its multi mode radar is among the best in class. It can fire and guide the missile with just looking at it. Except the thrust, Tejas score in many area.

Wrong as usual.

Its 200 crore per Tejas mk1 in IOC configuration.

Price will escalate to 250 crores minimum by the time FOC is granted as more systems will be installed.

About the same price as the much superior Gripen

Old radar. Sea Harriers are using it.

AoA is at 24 degrees. Cannot even do Pugachev Cobra move.

Only you are praising it.

Tejas scores in no area. Except delay and cost multiplication.

How come LCA MK 1 so expensive?

 

[vsdave2302]

So what. It was used to upgrade Sea harrier. In new Mirage upgrade, they have installed excellent PESA radar.Now would you argue that Radar is dumb since 4 decade old Mirage use that?

AoA is at 24 degrees. Cannot even do Pugachev Cobra move.

AOA 24* is very good. Can you please name any trainer plane which does Pigachev cobra or 90 KN thrust engine and go upto mach 1.6? AOA will go to 28* with FOC of tejas.

Only you are praising it.

So as pilots who has flown it.

Tejas scores in no area. Except delay and cost multiplication.

You need to learn more on Tejas.
