Will be the same fr
#AtmanirbharBharatDefence
#TejasMk2 #StealthAMCA #TEDBF
REDUCING the develop time substantially
They will hv #UTTAMAesa , EW suite of the same tech base, weapon integration, with sensors & mission computer , dersiking each other
Forgot to mention this , Tejas Mk2 will share Mission management & display computer software architecture with Amca & TEDBF program .

#AtmanirbharBharatDefence
stealth fighter can be taken up by @HALHQBLR as it's internal program, with consultancy from ADA, ADE, NAL, BEL etc
With proven #TejasMk2 avionics, radar & weapons suit
We need a 4.5 gen light fighter powered by a single reverse-engineered AL-31 FP

We need a #DefenceCommissionOfIndia to vet these PSQRs, GSQRs, ASRs
And stop unrealistic spec upgrades during R&D
No

Zorowar is a hilarious example of how Indian users create the conditions for failure of Indian IP
-emphasises multiple times the importance of high power to weight ratio for high altitudes, in fact the former DG puts a number of >30hp per ton as a preference (requirement?) and also limiting ground pressure
-justifies the 25-27ton weight limit on airlift limitations from Leh (naturally there is zero focus on how they have deployed and redeployed 50+ ton K9, T90/T72 from Leh)
~25 tons limit also allows for amphibious capabilities (he mentions for the Western sector and island territories)
-then makes it clear STANAG 6 protection has been a QR from day 1
So the entire absurdity of their requirements have been baked into this project from the start. Even a superficial search will highlight that no tracked fighting vehicle that weighs less than ~32 tons has STANAG 6 protection of any form. NONE.
To get the 30hp per ton, STANAG 6 etc you’d end up creating a ~32-35 ton tank with a 1000hp engine, effectively the Type 15 which he states DRDO were initially effectively copying until the army created the QRs (which bound them to ~25 tons)
A process absolutely destined to fail from the outset but the bigger picture that is clear is the DRDO DcPP effort is the sideshow for the light tank requirement, the 59 units allocated to them were to appease DRDO, the 295 Make 1 effort is their focus. No doubt it will run into the same limitations
59 for DRDO, 18 MK1, 42 MK1A
295 Make 1 split 60:40
What an absolute circus that will go nowhere anytime soon despite the fact that Zorowar went from design to testing within 3 years and initially looked like a success story
Contrary to how this episode was billed no real answers were given, just an insight into the mess of Indian user requirements vs Indian industry and why Indian IP will always struggle to emerge, let alone ever be inducted at scale.
They either don’t know what they want or it cannot be achieved but they are very certain what they are doing is correct. Rinse and repeat
+ your angst at the lack of compounding on Zorowar was valid @VishnuNDTV , that is the crux of the issue and the former DG didn’t engage with it very much at all other than clutching at the QRs that are inherently flawed (protection AND lightness). DRDO/Zorowar/this entire effort was setup to fail, and then they point to Arjun as a failure when it had the exact same treatment.
We shd hv a #DefenceCommissionOfIndia to vet these specs
And stop unrealistic spec upgrades during R&D
No

This entire video could’ve been 5 minutes long. Let the general explain their requirements, then ask what product in existence is capable of meeting them. 25 tons is your limitation fine, given the laws of physics how do you meet that (or get even close) if you also demand STANAG 6?
They wanted a Type 15 built out of unobtainium
Parrikar’s words only get more valid every time you listen to Indian users

lied on #CtrlAltDefence, that SOP18 was offered by HAL in 2018 & IAF promptly accepted it.
Truth: HAL was offering it frm 2014. Is that ,"scholarship ".

Worst govt ,since 1947,
#56InchFake ##NindaTurtle put up a #BuffoonRatna as def secy,
who is stalling #StealthAMCA PV build , #GTREKaveri 2.0 fr 2.5 yrs , put #TejasMk2 under a cloud, cdnt issue ASR fr IAF #TEDBF version in 3yrs & salami sliced #MBTZorawar
Now ruling DRDO!
Daily reminder that a Babu is leading DRDO
"Whole-of-nation approach needed for AMCA, Tejas Mk-2"
Former IAF chief RKS Bhadauria says India's future aerospace capability will depend on a strong national effort around its indigenous fighter programmes.

#TejasMk2LieNumber:4
Not just new softwares r tested on #TejasMk2
Whole new LRUs with sensor fusion & integration gets tested.
Instead of wasting yrs on testing them in old mk1A with no new benefit
A potent parallel Mk2 development adds new capabilities to IAF
Go to sleep
@sakthivel_cit93 Why it doesn't make sense? Rest of the world tests new software on any available platform.
#TejasMk2LieNumber : 1
#TejasMk2 validates crucial #UTTAMAesa GAN radar , indigenous EW suit, IRST , integration +sensors fusion & OBOGS etc before they go on #StealthAMCA
Besides also validates
MMDC software,
#DRDOGandiva #DRDOAstraMk2 & so many weapon integration fr AMCA
The statement of the CAS again reeks of no skin in the game attitude.
Support the AMCA but not the LCA Mk2 which is the logical path towards proving sensors and systems that will go into the AMCA.
You can't leapfrog between generations without proving intermediate tech.
China built #J35 #J20 simultaneously 2010s
They built half a dozen choppers, bombers, freighter s , #J36 #J50 simultaneously in 2020s.
Their jet engine giant AECC has 60000 people.
#NindaTurtle #BuffoonRatna s divedend strip & cut HAL work force & want to "drop" #TejasMk2
#ScrapLCAMk2 and focus on AMCA!⚡️

My article on why Tejas Mk2 is a stepping stone towards future
#TejasMk2 #StealthAMCA needs parallel development s
Both pvt sector & HAL.need to be given money to develop 5 PVs each.
That's how u get a 2nd pvt prdn line ( like USA does by commissioning two firms)
