i am an indian and still a novice.
but don't u think LCA is too ambitious a project?i mean we are trying to implement every possible state of art technologies into it.i mean we cud have built a "less capable"LCA and then slowly upgraded it to match everything we face.
i have immense faith in the capabilities of our ADA and DRDO,but aren't we trying to design a F1 car when we cud have started with high performance sports cars?
comments are welcome
thanx

You people are having a millitary discussion with Mr fuey?
lol
"Yep, JF-17 will be inducted into the PAF next year and the LCA wont be till 2015 by which time fourth generation fighters would be being phased out"
I never knew Pakistan was going to be phasing out the F-16s in 2015.
The FC-1 being a 3.5-4 gen fighter will also be phased out come 2015
For a country that gets millitary aide money they sure are rich.
The FC-1 is a 8-8.5G pulling stable airframe and has the manouverability between a MiG-21 and F16. It will have Chinese avionics as per latest reports and the engine has been refused by Russia as per last month's issue of Janes.Last edited by Sameer; 21 Sep 05,, 15:55.

1. an statically unstable airframe is flying with quad fly by wire design all too new for india.
2. loads of avionics have been put in upgrades/MKI from the LCA program.
3. and many more.
But of course one of the most imp one hasnt been up to the mark. i.e. the engine. but frankly we need to realise that even chineese are using russian engines in their J10's.Engine technology takes time. for frankly with electronics india isnt too far behind the west . but in mechanical stuff we are decades behind rite now. but that shouldnt be the worry. As at least the first few ones (till kaveri isnt ready) will come with GE engines.
There are more tests that need to be seen. the MMR will be the next breakpoint. If its good nough. Then i guess we have done 80% of the job then even without kaveri theres nothing to stop LCa from production.

hack i dont know what kind of engines or avionics will LCA will use but JF-17 will be equipped with fairly good kind of missiles and bombs which are being bought for it from european countries and its engine will not be RD-33( same as mig-29 engine) it will be RD-93 which is an upgraded version of RD-33 RD-93 is a more power full engine and besides iam not saying it but all the experts believe that it will be avionics that will give JF-17 a slight advantage over LCA but this prediction was before america gave green signal to pakistan to buy some more F-16's and C-130's now JF-17 can also have an option to go for american avionics which did not seem possible earlier :)

besides JF-17 is an excellent aircraft to counter an airforce which is having half of there aircrafts being MIG-21 and its still not sure when LCA will finally rollout from assembly line they keep postponding the dates untill IAF will be ready to indict LCA into its fleet PAF will alrady be having 250 of JF-17's and in the end one Very very very Important point that goes to JF-17 is its cost effective-ness (12 - 15 million each per bird)
