LET US FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO https://defencesecurityasia.com/en/india-amca-stealth-fighter-rcs-testing-satellite-images-fifth-generation-jet/
>>65233295Wasn't this thing supposed to be flying already?They kept blaming GE for not delivering engines, but even after the engines got delivered it still hasn't flown. So what's the delay?
>>65233295Good joke, OP.India can't even get a gen 3+ jet out of the prototype stage after 40 years of development.
>>65233301Nah, that's the Tejas Mk2.Tejas uses F404 which had engine deliveries, but they still can't fly because software/integration issues.AMCA is using the F414 which won't be delivered until 2028/29. The ink for the deal was just signed a few months ago.Both programs are likely to see significant delays however.
>>65233295Given the way the tourists post on here, especially about random bullshit military procurements, I genuinely wouldn't be shocked if you were actually excited about this development and genuinely typed up this thread with your brown, shit encrusted fingers OP
>>65233295This is presented as some kind of leak or OSINT finding but its clear from the details that this is more of an astroturfed government release.Stepping away from the metapresentation: This is still early days and there is still a ton of work to go before the hype can really be warranted. Heck, this could just be the first attempt and they may need to iterate through many additional mockups before the figure out what works. I will reserve any real judgement one way or the other until they get MUCH further along in development.>>65233313>gen 3+ jetTypo and you meant 4+?
The first fighter jet fueled be fecal matter.
>>65233314It’s the ge-404 which is experiencing delivery issues you American retard. The ge414 deal is still in process and license manufacturing will be set up.AMCA will be powered by ge-414
>>65233784>Tejas>4+
>>65233295Making a plywood F-35 isn't the win you think it is.
>>65233295These are the same people that spent the last FIFTY years trying to build the Tejas?
>>65234341The Tejas mk2 is absolutely 4.5 (or 4+ if you prefer). Hell, the mk1/1A is 4th gen alone. No sane person involved in anything to do with military aviation is going to say either constitutes as 3+. The only way a person could claim otherwise is for one of three reasons: they are trolling, they made a typo, or they are a retard. I extended goodfaith in the initial reply and left out the last. You go ahead and confirm which one it actually is though.
>>65234332Retard, they're the GE F404 and F414Not GE414, everything else you said is exactly what I said.
>>65233295INDIA SUPER POWER BY 2030 SAAR
>>65234425saar no we did it build it saar fuck you bloody
>>65234563Not going to argue whether or not the Tejas is a 3rd/4th gen fighter because its moot point to argue, but the Tejas aircraft as a whole barely exists and I doubt we'll see HAL produce the complete suite of orders for the MK1As and MK2s before India's 5th gen fighter enters production >The Tejas mk2 is absolutely 4.5 (or 4+ if you prefer).Except for the fact that ZERO MK2s physically exist because production isn't planned to start until 2029. >Hell, the mk1/1A is 4th gen alone.MK1 only exist at a total count of 32 with the MK1A being produced at a total of 6 so far (Out of the total of 277 ordered). And even the MK1A program is in deep shit because of a whole suite of issues.
>>65234636>Not going to argue whether or not the Tejas is a 3rd/4th gen fighterThat was literally the original claim and the thing I explicitly asked about. Its not moot, its the entire fucking discussion.>everything elseI don't have anything to say in disagreement. Principally because its not something I ever engaged in a conversation about. Either you're shifting the goalposts (if you were the original anon) or you are trying to make the conversation about something it clearly isn't (if you are another anon).Get your shit together.
>planned to enter service in a decade>while china has already been flying gen 6 aircraft for a couple years now oof
>>65234682>Its not moot, its the entire fucking discussion.Except yes it is moot because the aircraft BARELY FUCKING EXISTS IN REALITY>(if you were the original anon)I'm not. >or you are trying to make the conversation about something it clearly isn't (if you are another anon). Get your shit together.Anon, if the entire family of the Tejas lineage is sub 40 aircraft despite having nearly 40 years of active research and development than it doesn't fucking matter what its jet fighter generation designation is or isn't. India is now 2 generations behind China and 1 generation behind Pakistan with regards to their most advanced fighter aircraft.
>>65234754You literally can't read and just want something to get mad at. Piss off, kid.
>>65234769Why are you so upset over whether or not the Tejas is seen as being 4th/4.5 gen over an obvious shitpost claiming that its 3rd gen? Just ignore them and start discussing things that matter (rate of production)
>>65234789>Piss off, kid.
>>65234632>can't even keep the paint on
>>65234762>planes is hard>>65234766That seems to be where we are headed.
>>65233295Implessive, as soon as they finish the Tejas they will be unstoppable.
>>65234378It says on a temple wall India would totally win.
neat i hope they manage to produce someWith Rafale and Tejias being produced slowly bringing any additional planes online is better.
Who's got the turd gun pic?
>>65238124>army of the earth>is a planeI'm not gonna ask if the frogs are retarded because learning French will tell you yes beyond a shadow of a doubt, however I must know if this is some kind of joke or misunderstanding
>>65233295More like CULTS OF THE VARIETY OF CARGOOOOOOOOOO
>>65233301>Wasn't this thing supposed to be flying already?Inb4 "worry about ur own country cumskin white women love indian men timmies are in shambles"
>>65234762Pakistani pilots would have landed it just fine.
>>65234822HAF F16s are in worse condition. But it's hard to tell who's who between the two of them, so
looks good asf
>>65234347Look, it's full-scale alright? A lot of balsa wood and elmers glue went into this, and we had privates running around the thing with hairdryers evaporating all the captured moisture away so that the RCS results come out acceptable. I'll bet my monthly izzat allowance on it.
>>65240933>HAF F16sHellenic Air Force?
