India should immediately stop the tejas program and restart their efforts for a mid sized stealth aircraft from all the experience from the tejas!
HAL should be in the lead with DRDO contacting members from the Pakistani defence forum for their detailed advice on the requirements. This process should be meticulous, takeing at the very least 20+ years to ensure nothing is missed with public debate on the PDF.
my initial feeling is that the jet should have 10 tea cup holders incase shot down and saving the IAF from the indignity of accepting that the tea in Pakistan is fantastic , a functioning toilet as per Modi ji’s initiative to ensure all Indians have access to a toilet and have a place to review dance moves of the squadron in preparation of the IAF inter squadron dance completion.
Then off course the requirements locked and prototype development should take another 20-30 years.
finally after FOC and a run of 4 super superior aircraft are built and the acquisition of foreign 2nd tier aircraft at extremely high costs the right step of abandoning this flawed made in India with mostly foreign parts project and start working on a super stealthy AI based pilot less heavy fighter aircraft should start with the above mentioned process.
by removing the incompetent IAF pilot the plane will be at-least 50% more effective.
this should continue till finally the Indian people are given true happiness and freedom by their one true Pakistani Muslim rulers inshallah
