I would be genuinely happy if Turkey can produce an "fighter" variant in 4 years and not an trainer. Then it means something to learn from Turkey to all world nations including India, US, Russia, China on how to design a design, prototype, test and induct an "fighter" in 4 years. My comment...

I have really no idea on what you mean sir. F16 is an LM bird. Turkey probably developed some subsystems for F16 so it would be easy for TAI you mean?

I have to prove what? And Turkey is embargoed for what? From getting F35. Not from getting components to make its fighter or systems or lab facilities. Isnt BAE an design consultant for TAI? It's definitely not wrong in this globalised world and I hope India had this opportunity to work with...

I am not sure if you had understood the gist of the my posts or not. Infact I agree with you on most of the points. I believe Turkey would be able to deliver an trainer version of Hurjet by 2026. I am not even talking about TFX. What I differ and still stand by my point is a fighter version of...

You are already buying most of the stuff from outside. Engine, Lab consultancy, design consultancy, test facilities, avionics and what we do not know. I am definitely not comparing Turkeys programme with India. India had her challenges. We were not in NATO and we have had to develop every...

I studied in a college in ECR, and many students came in Kalpakkam. We had no issues bringing guests in for Symposium. Most of the time it would be from IGCAR. Being a def bluff myself, I would try to understand what they explain. Sometimes they would come with slides to explain to us kids what...

I will believe it when I see it. Developing an fighter, especially 4th gen fighter is no easy feat for the first time. There are a lots of learning, re-learning, mistakes and corrections. And Turkey hasn't designed a fighter jet from scratch before.

Unfortunately I believe PFBR has been delayed very long by now. It's original date was supposed to be 2017. I would say it's right now under debug. It has been turned on and off I believe and engineers trying to resolve issues. Hopefully we get them resolved. PFBR is very essential in long term...

You could. But it would take lot of time. As of now the induction time of 2026 for.hurjet if I believe is only for the trainer variant. For fighters, FCS needs to be refined to.be able to carry higher loads at higher G forces, drop tanks testing, BVR missiles. You would be looking at 2030...

Good beginning. This would allow us to start production of basic semis which we use in every day use and in almost every pcba. Like clocks, timers, Arduino chipsets. Most of these ICs are open source. Pay an small license and you can manufacture and sell in your name. Some small companies are...

Think they have been over for sometime as already some parts machined had been shipped to ADA/HAL.

Mk2 is a different plane. With canards. Though it will have influences from Tejas.

The KaI offered it to whom? To KAF? They might have offered during development phase, but once an product is developed its set in stone. Tejas was designed initially with Kaveri Engine at its core. Since the engine got delayed the dev team had to proceed with the GE 404 variants. And it took...

A fighter is designed around an engine. It's not really an plug and play with different engine types. If one wants with different engine, then there is whole lot of development involved. From inlets design, engine related hardware changes to FCS software.

It's actually an misconception that other airlines have "young" hostesses 😂 but Air India air hostesses are sometime rude. Had faced it twice. Hope they work out the attitude. I understand they are under pressure. So are we for various reasons.

Will be air India for sure. Infact I expect Air Asia India and Vistara to be absorbed into the bigger air India family. But I don't know how long it will take them to make a profit. Last aircrafts were bought in 2004-2008 circa and they were never renovated. Renovation needs to be done. In...

The thing is investment of this scale takes time. Taiwan will more likely want more than acceptance protection for its big investment.

5 spies were caught. I think that's delaying the user flight trials.

I wont celebrate till it's confirmed......

Can be updated after some testing with real prototype models. Since it's only an trainer and not an full fledged fighter as of now, it seems alright. Later if they want to integrate drop tanks, and based on design, they can increase MTOW. Last for Tejas, they have officially increased payload...
