patches689: Fangirls have no idea the importance or meaning of a low turn around time-but that price! The C begins at 70 mn$ and the E tops out at 80 mn-ouch!! The J 17 B 2 is 35 mn $ and B 3 45 mn$ with both Tejas in same range. http://nationsdawnofanera.weebly.com/-fighter-aircraft.html |

EMW01: IIRC,the Police had in flight stability issues with this and lost 2. True,many types can be a problem but the ground guys know their ishyt! Ideally you'd have light/medium gunship ,light/medium/heavy transport and medium utility ie fire team battle taxi/gunship. |

SANDF sending hand-launched UAVs to the DRC The South African National Defence Force is deploying hand-launched unmanned aerial vehicles to its peacekeeping force in the Democratic Republic of Congo for the first time. This appears to be the Indiza, locally developed by the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research. The South African National Defence Force (SANDF) has been testing the UAV since at least last year – this has included successful evaluations in the Kruger National Park. In October 2018 an SANDF official told defenceWeb that the evaluations were ahead of a potential deployment to the DRC. The Indiza was developed by the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) and can be folded up into a small container for deployment. The CSIR revealed that the aircraft is in production for a client but was not allowed to reveal who it was. A CSIR official told defenceWeb that the Indiza has been flying a lot, and recorded over 100 flights and 70 flight hours in the current financial year. This included successful testing in 50 km/h winds and on border safeguarding missions with the SANDF. Indiza is a hand-launched two metre span, rugged mini-UAV that can fly for over an hour at distances of up to 10 km using a brushless electric motor powered by a lithium battery pack. The Indiza airframe can house a number of generic camera pods, including day and night cameras. Various payloads up to 500 grams can be accommodated in Indiza’s modular payload bay. The camera is retracted on landing, which is assisted by a laser ranging system that is able to determine the UAV’s height above the ground. Indiza’s ground-based equipment consist of a laptop with data link modems and optional tracking antenna system to extend the range and improve the communication quality of the video and data links. An optional radio control transmitter can be used for man-in-the-loop control of both the airframe and camera system. The CSIR said Indiza can be used for surveillance activities such as public order policing, border management and infrastructure monitoring as well as research and development projects. “There are very few other unmanned aerial systems that can match Indiza in terms of low-cost, advanced functionality, ease of operation, adaptability and open architecture design. The culmination of all of these renders Indiza unique in its class and our engineers and test facilities are readily available to perform adaptations or to evaluate new concepts of use. The next variant of Indiza will be able to perform up to a four hour mission by maintain the existing design baseline, but switching to a different propulsion option,” the CSIR said.

kikuyu1: The contract for the supply of JF-17's to NAF works out at about the same unit price as the SAAF contract. You cant compare the unit costs unless you review the entire supply contract and quantify all the extra's you have to buy to operate them. Tejas is a P.O.S that is more comparable to the new breed of light fighters like the KA-50 or YAK-130, but no where near as sophisticated as the KA-50 and no where near as capable as the YAK-130 1 Like |

nemesis8u: How about the Indian airforce? The Indian Air Force (IAF) has issued a new report listing several deficiencies found with India’s first domestically designed and produced light fighter aircraft, the Tejas Light Combat Aircraft (LCA), in yet another push to convince the government to procure foreign-made single engine fighter jets. According to IAF assessments, the Tejas LCA, when compared to Saab’s JAS-39 Gripen and Lockheed Martin’s F-16, boasts reduced airborne endurance — 59 minutes versus three hours for the Gripen and nearly four hours for the F-16. The Tejas can also only carry a weapons payload of around three tons against nearly six tons by the Gripen and seven tons by the F-16. Furthermore, maintenance requirements for the Tejas LCA are also higher than with foreign combat aircraft. The Tejas LCA requires 20 hours of serving for every hour of flying against six hours for the Gripen and 3.5 hours for the F-16. In addition, the service life of the Tejas LCA is also half that of the 40 years found in both the Gripen and F-16. 2 Likes |

nemesis8u:1. Ad hominem argument 2. The deficiencies were listed in an attempt to get foreign jets instead of the Tejas. 3. All the specified deficiencies are in the public domain already http://tejas.gov.in/specifications/leading_particulars_and_performance.html https://www.drdo.gov.in/drdo/pub/techfocus/2011/feb%202011%20.pdf Tejas is simply not in the same ball-park as the JF-17, Gripen and F-16. Thats not a controversial statement. 1 Like |

nemesis8u: I have to spoon feed you everything? Are you so blinded by fanboyism you cant see what i just showed you? You could just read the first link and see that it confirms limited payload You could just read the second link and see that it confirms a limited service ceiling and that its slower than mach 2 Gripen and F-16 are almost 800 km/h faster. [Thats really bad for interceptions, isnt it?] Or you could spend 30 seconds on google and see that India Today broke the story of the IAFs criticism of the Tejas https://www.indiatoday.in/mail-today/story/tejas-indian-air-force-f-16-mig-21-fighter-planes-ajit-doval-1083350-2017-11-10 Or that its limited combat radius is common knowledge https://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/pictures-indias-tejas-receives-initial-operational-clearance-394420/ Or that the Times of India confirmed its maintenance intensive https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/jaipur/tejas-a-poor-performer/articleshow/62796155.cms You have yet to provide any evidence to prove that a single thing I said is incorrect. Instead you threw a giant tantrum, like a child. Tejas is trash compared to the Gripen, F-16 and JF-17. Deal with it, grow up, control your emotions. 1 Like |

patches689: I simply asked u to prove ur crappy payload and crappy flight time comment , and u replied by post all MSM nonsense links etc and yet u failed to give the answer. And LCA MK1 is a light weight category fighter and you genius is comparing it with medium weight category fighter like F16 E/F and Gripen E. Rings any bells now. Let me explain further incase u still can't process it , compared to Su35 Gripen E has crappy payload and crappy range. Got the incredulity of ur stupid comparison now ? Different category different capabilities. Anyway forget it I am done with u , no point discussing with online experts. I will avoid u from now. Seriously u now will teach me aeronautics sir ? U know Tdayof ? Next time he comes online don't forget to ask him about my aeronautics or avionics etc And now accuse me of fanboyism ? That's a serious U turn lol Plz allow me to jog ur memory , see the comment below which u posted a month or two ago in reply to mine lol Unlike many I prefer to make comments based on technicalities rather than bullshiiit without an iota of subject knowledge. 2 Likes

nemesis8u: 1. I provided links for everything combat radius https://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/pictures-indias-tejas-receives-initial-operational-clearance-394420/ Speed, service ceiling https://www.drdo.gov.in/drdo/pub/techfocus/2011/feb%202011%20.pdf Payload http://tejas.gov.in/specifications/leading_particulars_and_performance.html If you want to say the biggest Newspapers in india are wrong, you must provide evidence. 2. We are comparing the Tejas to the rest because it costs about as much as a Gripen. Thats how the Tejas came up, please follow the discussion on this forum before derailing it with your antics. 3. Yes, Tejas is a light fighter. I said so about a dozen times. Thats why I compared it to the KA and YAK So you disagree with me about the Tejas not being as good as the Gripen, F-16 or JF-17 but then say "yes, its a light fighter its not as goood" What exactly is your malfunction? What exactly are you disagreeing about? 3 Likes |
