@Visscarionovich: The Tejas IS flying on a GE 404, you're so full of shit. And Kaveri ain't dead, its merely under powered with 89 KN of torque as opposed to 98, Google what it means fucking paanchvi pass.

@TheWarriorIndian LCA has some major problems even after its induction,the most important one being a lack of thrust; the test flights have only reached M1.4 and 4Gs,not exactly impressive for a multi-role fighter. The Indians don´t know which engine to fit in the LCA since their "indigenous" Kaveri-engine is years from working.Jet-engine companies from both Russia & France have trying to fix it,but it seems to be at a dead end.Any new engine will require major redesign of the fuselage.

LCA is 4.5 gen fighter .... the only problem faced by LCA is its engine... it's not as per requirement..... it uses composites material but still slightly heavy then estimated weight. A new engine is on way for which LCA has to be redesign. Furthermore it's design has one serious problem that it can't take out more than +6g turn..... weapon load is 4000kg but still can't pull a full weight..... some where near 2020 it will be fully ready as 4.5 gen fighter.
