Lt Col Nestervoe of the Russian Air Force who flew the Tejas prototype trainer aircraft PV-6 with Gp Capt N Deepak, chief test pilot of the National Flight Testing Centre said that the aircraft was compact with very good quality avionics.
During the sortie the capabilities of the aircraft in terms of manoeuvrability and the capabilities of the avionics was demonstrated along with laser-guided bomb and synthetic attack radar attacks on ground targets.
Earlier this year, the Tejas programme finally become combat-ready after more than three decades. In February, it was accorded the Final Operational Clearance (FOC) by the military aviation certifying agencies.
The IAF has placed orders for 40 Tejas aircraft (16 fighters each in IOC and FOC and 8 trainers), of which Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) has rolled out 16. In addition, HAL has received Request for Proposal (RFP) to supply 83 Tejas to the air force.
Defence Acquisitions Council has also cleared acquisition of 83 LCA for IAF and that production is planned from 2019-2020.

FAKE NEWS! The source is indian:

What you expect the Russian to say? "Its a piece of junk! "

Russia biggest arm buyer is still India. They are not stupid to say the truth... If Indian not buying a single piece of Russia arms and see what they will say about LCA.

 

[Azadkashmir]

secretly the tejas design is copied from samosa

 

[IceCold]

The russians are impressed by the fact that its over 4 decades and still Tejas is anything but operational. They must be damn impressed.

 

[Pakistan Space Agency]

Joke of the two centuries, the 20th century and the 21st century.

Price?

 

[Pakistani Fighter]

A Tejas costs $76milllion a pop!

Hence, it has super techonology!!!

Wow. U can buy 3 Thunders for it

 

[Imran Khan]

they impressed so much that they canceled su-57 and buy tejas now

 

[faithfulguy]

Wow. U can buy 3 Thunders for it

This is the definition of a failed project. I think India can produced the first gen of Pentium chips from the 90s now, but for a much higher price. And it's a outdated tech....


Am I giving India too much credit????

The Russian pilot also said, "the ejection seat is very comfortable".

"I would like to thank Indian authorities for giving me the opportunity to fly Tejas. I am proud to have flown it. I have had the experience of flying Mig-29, Sukhoi-30 and Sukhoi-35 fighter jets but flying Tejas was a great experience. It was very controlled and smooth. All the systems in the cockpit are great, I could very easily understand them and the ejection seat is very comfortable. In Russia, we say a beautiful plane can’t fly well. But your jet proved otherwise. It is very beautiful and very manoeuverable. I enjoyed flying it and frankly, I would like to fly more, may be in a dogfight with Sukhoi-30.”

HAL agreed to deliver the MK1A version for around $39 million USD. The MK1 version was priced at $23 million USD.

The most important feature on LCA is the ejection seat. As it must work during accidents and parades.

On the positive note, India has no need to test the ejection seat as the plane is hit by a missile. Even Indians are smart enough to keep a parade plane away from a battle. They have shown the aptitude when it's placed on a truck instead of unnecessarily endangered lifes by flying it
That shows Indian leadership have discernment.
