Indian fighter Tejas adopted by the Air Force of the country

The Indian proprietary supersonic fighter Tejas has finally received the final approval of the Indian aviation regulator for use as part of the country's Air Force. This is reported by the TV channel NDTV.

According to the TV channel, the solemn ceremony of the transfer of the relevant operational documents was held as part of the Aero India-2019 aerospace exhibition held in Bangalore, India these days. The ceremony was attended by representatives of the country's Ministry of Defense and the developer company Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd. Indian Air Force commander Marshal Birendra Singh Dhanoa called getting the Tejas fighter a permit to be used in the country’s air force as an "important milestone" not only stories combat aviation India, but also industry in general.

During the tests, the Tejas fighter made many sorties and demonstrated accuracy when using weapons

- declared Dkhanoa.

The development of the Tejas multipurpose single-engine supersonic fighter began in 1983 and lasted for more than 30 years. The aircraft on the 60% is a proprietary development of Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) and the Ministry of Defense of India. It is assumed that the Tejas fighter jets will replace the Russian MiG-21 in the Indian Air Force.

The Indian Air Force Command previously placed an order for more than Tejas 120 fighter jets. According to the plans of the Air Force, the fighters will go into service before the 2025 year.

Well, here at least there will be no one to complain to the Indians, when the planes begin to crash.
But! Well done.

[Aaron Zawi]

Very good news for us. There are avionics on our 2 / 3.

[tchoni]

Is it possible for LREO in more detail? Radar with AFAR? EW?

[Aaron Zawi]

From memory these are el / m 2052 radars, electronic warfare, overhead containers and weapons.

[Pereira]

Well, let’s fly.

[rotmistr60]

The fighter, although his own, was not without outside help. Not for nothing that they constantly require technology transfer during procurement.

solemn ceremony

And there were dances with songs?

Patience. They are preparing a version for cinemas.

[Renat]

Very similar to the alteration Mirage 3

built in agony yesterday’s car ... one less long-term construction ...

Even if so. In the world, not all countries are capable of producing cars at least yesterday. Here you can only congratulate the Indian aircraft industry. They will rivet for themselves.

[silverwolf88]

Well, maybe so ...

Among the main shortcomings of this aircraft, experts distinguish low maneuverability, greater exposure to electronic warfare, small resistance to overload, etc. In fact, India has created the 4-generation fighter, which is now available in virtually all countries of the world, and any prospects this project does not exist.

[Pecheneg]

But probably better than the old MiG-21, I mean the year of release, and not the technical specifications. This plane will fly against Pakistan, and there is a Su-30MKI against China.

The important thing is that they made their FIRST airplane. Even 70 years ago they had a 200-year occupation. Two hundred years of occupation, Karl!

Well, so I'm talking about the same thing. What are the claims?

[pytar]

This is not their first plane! On 17.06.1961, an Indian jet flight was made HF-24 Marut (Spirit of the Storm)! The main designer in the Company Hindustan Aeronautics was Kurt Tank. The aircraft was commissioned and he participated in the Indo-Pakistan wars. Built -147 Ex.

First Indian reactive combat-training aircraft flew 04.09.1964 g. This Hal Kiran. The educational version of the Mk.1 is released -190 ex., And the training-combat Mk.2 - 61 ekz.

It seems to me that this Tejas is nothing more than an alteration of the French Mirage 3.

[Roma 1977]

Appearance should not be deceiving. Even the MiG-29 of the 80s and the MiG-35 are two different complexes. Although they look almost the same.

[Renat]

Mirage-3 and Mirage-2000 showed themselves very well in the Middle East conflict between Israel and the Arabs, after which many countries copied this machine in their variations. After Mirage-3 and Mirage-2000 were in service with India. Hindus are well aware of these machines, some parts and spare parts for them were made in India. so most likely this version is true.

You are not far from the truth

[Renat]

There is a mixture of Mirage-2000 and Mirage-3

30 years old! This is a damn record .... Having a ready engine and avionics to give birth to a car for as long as you need a genius to be ... I suppose you will be able to complete your Air Force with 30 for years ...

These people, without firing a single shot, were driven out by the pissed rags of the British, together with their army armed not only with pistols and machine guns.

[voyaka uh]

This decision is against American plans to transfer production of the F-16 to India. Both aircraft are single-engine.
It is unlikely that they need two types of single-engine fighters in the Air Force.

[Shuttle]

Gun GSh-23 (Russia)
Engine General Electric (USA)
P-77 and P-73 rockets (Russia)
Avionics a little more than half still Russian.

However, the plane is already Indian.
Soon they will be able to do everything themselves. There are more than a billion of them. They themselves need everything of their own. For them, with their 140 millions, we are just a big, cold and sparsely populated area. All of Europe is not much different for them.
Mlechchi and we are revealed to them. That's all.

[Nikolaevich I]

Well ... ash-tree stump, what is used here is a typical journalistic expression! By and large, in reality, I mean "tailless with PGO" ... It's not worth talking about the "duck"; despite the seeming similarity of the schemes, they ("duck" and "tailless with PGO" ...) are different ... ("duck wing "larger than the PGO in the" tailless "scheme)

[irazum]

They finally gave birth ...

The gods do not burn pots.
As if other countries did not go the same way.
