Indian Air Force - Indigenous Fighter Jet - Tejas - Part 5

[kashsoldier]

The indigenously designed and developed Kaveri Engine was successfully flight tested on an IL76 by DRDO yesterday during the Flying Test Bed (FTB) Trials at Gromov Flight Research Institute (GFRI), Moscow, Russia.

K9 version of Kaveri engine was tested from take-off to landing and flew for a period of over one hour up to at an altitude of 6000m at a speed of 0.6 mach on its maiden flight. The engine control, engine performance and engine health during the flight were found to be excellent

Tejas Mk1 Initial operational clearance by early 2011

Indian air force has ordered 40 Tejas Mark 1 and Indian Navy some more Tejas mark 1.

We are also looking at 100 Tejas Mark 2 for Indian air force and at least 50 Tejas Mark 2 for Indian Navy

In total, we are looking at least 200 to 250 Tejas for both Indian air force and Navy for both mark1 and mark 2 versions.

Next step is AMCA (Advanced medium combat stealth aircraft). I hope kaveri gets ready for this twin engined beast.

[kashsoldier]

The Mark 2 will have a more powerful engine, refined aerodynamics.

would be the perfect replacement for our ageing mirage 111 fleet! greetings from Argentina.

[aashish1703]

cool...i heard tht indian army will be getting new assault rifles...better than insas...can u tell me when it'll b possible ?

[dethica]

@ aashish1703

they bought a bunch of tavor rifles from israel, and i think they might license make some micro tavors, but think these will mostly go to the special forces and border guards, other then that i think the insas will stay

[intrepidZANY]

Is India developing any commercial airliners? What is the yearly budget for HAL and what is the yearly budget for NASA?

[puntertakeson]

Can India stop nuclear missile?

[kashsoldier]

sure !! SRBMs and MRBMs can be intercepted with PAD and AAD. India is also working on AD-1 and AD-2 to intercept IRBMs and ICBMs. We are also working on ABV kill vehicles to intercept ballistic missiles with multiple warheads.

India is also working on laser

(BARC 5000)to intercept the boost phase of the ballistic missiles.

[puntertakeson]

Indian Defence company HAL is ranked 34 Out of top 100 best defence company in the world. I can't even find single chinese company in the world.

Sources : defensenews (dot) com. It's an official defence ranking website for US.

Kash can you tell me about j-17 jointly developed by China and Pakis?

[kashsoldier]

sure !! JF 17 was funded partly or fully by Pakistan. China just ripped off F16 design and asked Russia to provide engines RD-33 for J-F17s.

Paint job also done by Pakistan. PLAAF refused to induct JF-17, since they know what it was all about.

[kashsoldier]

Sorry, It is not RD-33 but RD-93 Russian engine. Schedule times 2006-2011. Contract for delivery of 100 RD-93 engines in 2006- 2008 for Chinese aircrafts FC-1 was signed in 2005 with Russia.

[mikoyan07]

[jinnahvoice]

We will get it soon in the iaf.

[darshak99]

Can someone explain why is it flying with the landing gears still out?

[kashsoldier]

[whitelotus2006]

BTW, Any idea when the kaveri engine is gonna be completed and how it will compare to the likes of ones from eurojet, general electric etc.

[kashsoldier]

[mikesanders9898]

[rajkiran1982]

Guys, we'll be insulting ourselves if we keep bothering abt shitty pakis.... Countries of comparison are only US and China....lets not insult ourselves.

[shamurshamur]

[icedfun]

That looks pretty nice but why is it flying all the time Wheels down?

[kashsoldier]

First flight!!

[chakde26]

In a test flight, u test certain parameters, the things u dont test (in this case, the wheels hydraulic system), u dont use em.

[coumarane]

well done India;Soon we will be capable to rivalize with all the western aircraft.

[Royyy85]

Jalous faggets Pakis you genetic mistake of Allah

[raghavaj]

You paki sons of bitches are asswipes. your people used to wipe my ass after i was done taking a shit because thats the only thing y'all were good at. You used to be citizens of the great Hindustan the greatest country there ever was. You get everything even Weed. What do you paki sons of faggots and bitches have? Seriously? you idiots are dying out there and you're government is not gonna do anything. You all are assholes and don't understand the Social Contract Theory.

[tarzangorrilla]

Indians are great making their own aircraft bit by bit. India is very much on track. Congratulations. I hereby invite hindu people of understanding to great religion Islam which guides you to worship one God. Dont hesitate, start reading Koran and you will also be among righteous.

[suhasvkamath]

we may worship may god man but for all us hindu's we have one faith. and as for ur invitation to follow islam, well thanks a lot we r happy in our religion in fat i would like to invite u to read ur Bhagvath Geetha. and u will find that both Ur Koran and My Bhagvath Geetha teach only one principle that is "Love",Love in god and Love on his people".

[Madraskings]

dear Bro I am Hindu and i have read ( To the Best of my ablity) the Glorious qu'ran and to my really suprise I  found that the Bagvath Gita and the Q'uran and for that fact all the Books of god diliver the same message that god is one no matter how many names we call him we shall finally meet him on jugedment day

[suhasvkamath]

[smarteddie21]

[suhasvkamath]

it may be a small sparrow but it is powerful enough to kick the ass of those paki's pigs

[Thanatos833]

let me assure you it's being constantly updated in development. This will certainly outmanuever any 4.5 gen aircraft. It will prolly hold its own against the 5 gen aircraft. Of course for the 5th gen teh Indians are getting the MCA ready.

[gareth85k]

whens it coming it service no ones interested in importing, more capable and proven fighters availiable. Uprated F 16, 18s and migs etc
