Key takeaways:
Covid did impact HAL production
Four FOC Tejas are ready to join the IAF fleet.
10 FOC to complete by fiscal year (on/before March-22).

OK, no need to mention all the projects in IAF, a year ago you were trying to convince this forum that this would be a record year for Tejas delivery, looks like there is a chance of zero planes being delivered this year.

So IAF still has 1.5 Tejas Sqds?

and your block 3 thunders,numbers are zero ...... but hey these things take time

 

[Yasser76]

Yes, they do take time. We have 130 Thunders in service, the best you can do is compare your initial version delivery with the final version delivery of the JF-17. Desperate times, but I think the heart burn is strong in you now that you are grabbing onto anything to avoid facts ("looks at all our foreign weapons blah blah")

HAL is on track to break a global record of not delivering any planes whilst in full scale production.No other country has acheived this. Well done Made in India....

 

[The Maverick]

yes,China has delivered 130.planes in 11 years .. well done China
we have 270 su30mki delivered in 16 years

what's is your point

 

[Windjammer]

Well it's now obvious your brain cells were manufactured by DRDO.
What's with we........Russia started delivering SU-30s to IAF in 2002.....before mouthing off nonsense about China delivering the JF-17s ......swallow your non pride about producing the SU-30s...you assemble kits, we manufactured the JF-17 hence supplied them to likes of Nigeria.

''On 24 December 2012, India ordered assembly kits for 42 Su-30MKIs by signing a deal during President Putin's visit to India.''

 

[Yasser76]

You have finally lost the plot. No more arguments left I guess.

 

[Black Tornado]

Do to tell us the local components used in thunders of pak origin.

Hey welcome back from you latest hiatus (ban). I was missing you I must admit.
Ok back to business
1) Indians said that the jf-17 bravo would take a long time Pakistan delivered 15 of them in less than a year ….

2) Pakistan has committed to drop the first squadron of jf-17 block 3s by end of the year - so far4 more months to go so watch out for the December surprise just like 2020 dec

3) the surprise maybe more as you may see 36 j-10c e in Pakistani colors by then

so by 2022 there maybe over 66 aircraft with AESA pl-15 bvr capability in Pakistani inventory and by 2023 over 86 aircraft lol

so wait n see the PAF has always delivered

How about these REK Bombs produced by GIDS (Pakistan) that were also delivered on 27.2.19

 

[Black Tornado]

Not talking about weapons, the local components that you say you use in thunders is of pak origin.

How about these REK Bombs produced by GIDS (Pakistan) that were also delivered on 27.2.19

your not getting 15 thunders in 4 months
that's ridiculous

at best 2 or 3 by year end if that

as for j10.I suggest you go back to archive of pak defense forum.you will countless threads on j10 arrival.since 2010 ... all.of them.imminent because you have cha cha ji ... uncle or cousin.in.the airforce
no official news exists in pak media just hearsay

thank you for the welcome back I started with the Rafale f4 news breaking

the purchase of reaper drones

the upgrade to 90 heron drones with new radars and strike weapons

imminent arrival s400 and it's massive impact on long range tracking and engagement of all.sorts enemy weapons

finally news that vikrant carrier was pushed out of dock to start sea trials

how long will.this survive in a environment of s400 and Rafale combined and Barak 8 for good measure...

the thunders would be great at tackling the obselete end of the iaf ie mig21 bison and jaguar
but all the migbisions are gone by 2025
at best with 2nd Rafale squadron inducted another tejas upcoming sqds and mig29upg order for 21 planes the thunder will be hard pressed to find legacy fighters

instead

Rafale
upgraded mirage2000
upgraded mig29ug
su30mki
