Calm down lungi.
Calling me names is pointless. That's all you got to argue with?

"Bilal9, post: 10776193, member: 154508"]All Indian posters here are trying to whitewash this obsolete excuse of a fighter (first belated flight 2001), when their Airforce won't place any confidence in this product. In simple American English, it's called a DUD.
Meaning something that "fails badly or is totally ineffectual". DRDO was totally out of it's element in developing this fighter. The last great Indian DUD was a MARUT - which, although designed by Kurt Tank of Focke Wulf fame, died a premature death too. No prize for making guesses. India remains the 'paradise of chori' in spite of Sanghis trying to paint it as an advanced economy.
Then, as now, the problem was the same.
Witness the foreign made components used in the LCA project, this is one third of the list (even fuel cap is imported)....
- Lack of commitment for Indian politicians to developing indigenous capability in aerospace manufacture, which does not help their pockets percentage wise.
- More importance given to lining politicians' and defense chiefs' pockets using 'phoren' equipment purchases, witness BOFORS and other expensive scams
- In spite of the Americans building HAL in the 1940's to repair and refurbish USAAF transports, (C46s, C47s and C119s) and gifting HAL (spoon-feeding an Aviation Industry) to India in ready to go form, the proven capability of Indians to eff-up a ready-made-thing continues. Even compared to the equivalent efforts in Pakistan and Indonesia, the performance of HAL (and DRDO) is dismal in this area.

Take away your green Pakistani jealousy and try to understand the real achievements.
India is flying Russian junk from sixty years ago. This needs to change
We need to build Indengious aerospace industry
Unlike Pakistan we have money and people to do this
Look at our warships we build and thecsuccess of isro our space programme.
Lca is no world beater but it's better than a the migs we fly and on paper better than the third tier Chinease budget plane you people are buying on loan from Chengdu
that's a major concern.Combat radius is way too less for any use in real case scenario. Min should be 550.
The Mk2s might have an extended combat radius.
Otherwise at this rate, we will need to deploy all LCAs at LOC and deploy everything else towards LAC.
Which aircraft is beside Tejas in white???
really ! is that why we are making it. So what to do park it at wagha border ?i think LCA is meant for forward bases..

Notice the canards... which are lacking on tejas
Unless u add them ... it's an obsolete design...
Yes we are!
JF17 is joint fighter
We never claimed it was indoogi-eeneus this is an Indian obsession
We have had a good airforce for decades in actual air combat we have bested the indian and Soviet airforces and took the israliis to task when the Arabs couldn't
We wanted to utilise our experience to guide development of the JF17 and we would obtain parts from anywhere in the world with the aim of gradually manufacturing as much of the plane as we could in-house
Tejas has a cranked delta wing design,the crank solves the problem of vortex burst at high AOA and adds to lift just like a canard without increaing drag due to extra control surface and without increasing RCS and eating into the stealth of aircraft which are undoubtedly inherent property of canard.
FYI - The below wind tunnel model of Tejas did not enter production as the engineers solved the vortex problem without compromising on the stealth/RCS.
