Tejas grounded after snag in landing gear

[sathya]

No need to be worried, even entire sukhoi 30 after 10 years in service were grounded for issues..

It's a good news actually,

We got to know that probably new light weight landing gears are tested for MK 1p

It is a very very good platform. I don't know why you're so hostile to it. This is regular technical stuff that any jet will face.

For the love of heavens over your head!!!

Can Tejas stand a chance against Chinese flankers or PAF F-16s? It is an OBSOLETE design not fit for 21st century warfare. The world is moving towards 5th generation stealth aircraft, Newer generation IR-guided and radar guided BVR missiles, AESA etc. What new does LCA bring to the table?

mr false flagger i know PDF mods and admin have diffrent rules for pakistani and chinese trollers and false flaggers but you at least have some shame ... why are not you using your nations flags ... why are you so insecure to use other nations flags and call your self patriot of your enemy nation

but as for your question tejas is already tested in all kinds of weather , day&night and all altitude in using its lightning LDP and LGBs attached to it so is all kinds of israeli PGMs (like paveway & spike 250) while for air to air combat since it has very high off boresight DASH HMDS which enabells its pilots to lock its Python5 and R73 missiles on them for more than an angle of 90degrees to its either direction and alreay intigrated with active radar seeker BVR like Derby and is already in process to be intigrated or is already intigrated with latest version of Derby= the I Derby ER which has the same if not more range than AIM-120c at almost half the cost

and since more than 45%of its total body mass is made of carbon composities and more than95% of its skin area combined with a very conpact frontal and overall design its RCS is almost 1/3rd of M2K and since its second batch(after its first 20 IOC2 configuration are complete ) it is salted to get AESA (el2052 as stop gap and desi AESA UTTAM ) i hope that is good enof for a point defnce fighter that is made as a goal keeper/point defnce/homeland security role.. what say you ..... mr false flagger

He is Indian yes may be doesn't follow your notions and not always defend disaster Tejas and Arjun still he is India and mods know which country he is from.

For the love of heaven man. Tejas is a point defence fighter. You can't build an entire AF only out of raptors. It's job is to intercept Falcon, Flanker etc. within the perimeter of defence around a city (which it can). FOr further intercepts we have Su 30 and MMRCA.

Tejas is a point defence fighter.

How many seconds will it last against PLAAF Flankers and PAF F-16s?

 

[Guynextdoor2]

It's gonna have AESA and excellent AA missiles along with BVRAAM capabilities (I think the Astra will be integrated.) what more do you want? It'll be range limited because it's light but that'll also make it nimble. It has a specific 'role' and it's damn good for it.

mr false flagger to engage LCA chinese flankers or PAF F-16s have to fight and survive MKIs, M2Ks , Mig29s and Bisons and then comes multi layered air defnce networks comprising of Akash and Spyder SAMs and many others types from russia and france and if some how PlAAF flankers and PAF F16s somehow survive them then they will have a go at LCAs and then with 80Km track range of EL-2032 (for 2 msqu 2 RCS target...F-16s have more than3msq2 loaded and flankers are 20msqu2 loaded RCS)and R73-Python5-Derby-IderbyER combo they have to fight with LCA tell what do you think ... mr false flagger

For almost 3,000 hours of flying, the made-in-India combat aircraft “Tejas” was a pilot’s delight, but within months of joining the Indian Air Force (IAF)’s fleet, these jets have been grounded because of nagging problems with their landing gear.

This major snag — the first since the military jet’s maiden flight in January 2001 — has showed up at a time when the country’s air strike wing is contemplating induction of 120 of them to make up for the depleting strength of its squadrons. With the Union government taking a decision to acquire only 36 Rafale fighters instead of 126 as originally planned under the multi-billion dollar, medium multi-role combat aircraft (MMRCA) contract, IAF chief Air Chief Marshal Arup Raha has spoken of the need to add at least six squadrons (108 fighter aircraft) to shore up the total strength to 42 squadrons, and indicated his preference for an advanced version of “Tejas”.

Sources in the ministry of defence (MoD) told this newspaper that IAF pilots encountered problems with the landing gear of “Tejas” twice — first in Bengaluru and the second time in Jaisalmer after a round of weapon trials at the Pokhran range. The fighter was flown from Jaisalmer to Bengaluru with its landing gear deployed after the second incident. The upshot: the entire fleet consisting of fighters, the naval variant, trainers and prototypes have been grounded. “Occasionally, test pilots have attempted solo sorties, but the problem with the landing gear persists,” sources added.

Sources in Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd (HAL), Bengaluru, confirmed that the snag has resulted in discontinuation of flights of these military jets but disclosed that the glitch would be fixed soon as the cause for malfunctioning of the landing gear has been identified.

The first “Tejas” combat jet was handed over to the IAF in Bengaluru on January 17, 2015, by defence minister Manohar Parrikar with the first squadron set to be based at an air force station in Sulur, Tamil Nadu.

So what's the big deal @Zarvan? Stop blowing it out of proportion! All aircraft have problems including your much vaunted Thunders. Even the F-35 is still beset with problems galore. Nothing is perfect in this world!

There's no need to dance and shout and keep bashing the Tajas. Take a break. Have a Kit Kat!

he he he first hub bul watan pakistanies said tejas is not flying then they said its no threat to them and then they say they will have all the capabilities what tejas in even IOC2 level has been tested will be there on block III version o there DSI tech enabelled super duper fighter

its another matter there super duper DSI tech enabelled fighter had been grounded a few times for varioous resons

Stuck in Sichuan: Pakistani JF-17 Fighter Program Grounded

Pakistani JF-17 Program Grounded!!, page 1

point is pakistani hub hbul watans dont let any opportunity of making fun and mocking LCA project as they are jealous and very scarred of it and see it as a very grave danger to PAF and then they say they are not obsessed with india , IAF or LCA project..... strange isnt it

Why you guy quote Mr.Gandhi? He is the same guy who you killed b/c he want friendship with Pakistan.

Tejas will make mince meat of PLAAF or PAF fighters once they enter Indian skies.

hey wise guy is this thread about ghandi or his killing ?

or are you too worried about LCA and the danger it possess ?

or is that the post of mine you are quoting is to bitter for your ego to swollow ?


but to be fair i quote ghandi as he is one of the greatest leaders india has ever produced and architect of non voilent freedom struggle and he was not killed cause of his friendship with pakistan but for his appeasement of muslims after watching the horrors of partition as how muslims looted raped and killed hindus in bangladesh and pakistanafter the so called "direct action day" he was doing fast on to death to stop hindus in retaliating and giving money to pakistan which was used against india when pakistan attacked indian kashmir in 1948 from the money ghandi gave pakistan .... but thats another story

lets remain on topic ... shall we

Agree. With sukhois , rafaels on the front lines LCAs will have their task cut out. LCA's will serve for internal security purpose.

Again with AWACS roaming the sky , every enemy aircraft along the pakistan border will be kept track of. If there is an aerial attack it will be only using missiles.

Day by day the anti-LCA cabal's desperation is growing. These ppl are happy with crappy mig-21's but go ballistic when LCA is mentioned.

Why are you so getting so nervous then, does India have any immediate threat or the sky is falling. The PAF too have yet to replace its old J-7, Q-5, and mirrage 3/5 with jf-17, and Plaaf has to replace its old planes in large number with its j-10B, they too are strugling with the engines and have more worry on their eastern border.
