Tejas Mark 1a tranformation into Mark 2 latest pictures

[KapitaanAli]

The PhotoShop quality looks really bad and has fanboy written all over it. Not official.

HAL & ADA make bad posters, but not bad PhotoShop.

If, and I repeat IF the Tejas Mk II prototype makes it first flight in 2020.
How long before FOC?
The Gripen NG demonstrator flew in 2008, which is 15 years from FOC IN 2023.
The Gripen E prototype flew in 2016, which is still 7 years from FOC.
Tejas Mk II FOC in 2030-2035?

I doubt that India will cancel MMRCA 2 because of Tejas Mk II.

Agreed, production of Tejas should be privatized.

Production of 70% of the aircraft has been outsourced to private companies.

IOC is aimed for 2025.

I doubt that India will cancel MMRCA 2 because of Tejas Mk II.

MMRCA 2.0 is for twin engine MMRCAs. The requirement for 200 Gripen will instead be fulfilled by LCA Mk2.

India will not cancel MMRCA 2.0

India needs over 450 fighters in the next decade.

110 MMRCA + 200 Tejas + 100 5th gen fighters

MMRCA 2.0 is for twin engine MMRCAs. The requirement for 200 Gripen will instead be fulfilled by LCA Mk2.

Twin engine is just speculation.

 

[Crixus]

The aircraft industry will only takeoff in India when the private players will be engaged ...... HAL is nothing more then a white elephant ...... Tejas Mk 2 is just a hot air as of now

Twin engine is just speculation.

The RFP will be designed for twin engines, particularly in favour of Rafale. But single engines can participate and try their luck. You won't find the IAF or GoI clarifying it because of the F-16, but the IAF wants a twin engine jet. The Gripen will simply be duplicating the LCA Mk2's capabilities.

If Modi is gone Rafale is gone.

L1 will win. Nothing to do with politics.

That is what you wish/hope.

Reality is quite different.

In the new tenders, there is no political interference. It's all completely transparent. The bids are opened in front of all the shortlisted vendors.

MMRCA will not happen until the new government is in place. Many things may happen between the cup and the lip.

Neither govt can change requirements though. The RFP will come from the IAF.

Wah - From picture to another picture - Tejas sixth generation conversion is complete - only in picture though.
