He knows very well in what a precarious situation our airforce is today. Dwindling squadron strength, Tejas MK1 is facing inordinate delays because of supply chain issues in GE, AMCA will take another 15 years to become fully operational when other countries will be flying 6th generation aircraft and everything is going well as per ex airforce chief.😮😮😮
Some of the bottle necks experienced by our Indigenous Industry because of " Global Conflicts" & further Supply Chain delay is neglected by the former IAF chief...... I feel he is correct in his sense.....
I think he is trying to calm the public. But honestly we don't have much options. Russia is in a mess, If we go with Russia Su-57 (which is in desing stage also ), we generally don't like their engines and maintenance is a challenge. Even getting more Rafale now is a challenge as Dassault is also facing similar challenges and have many orders already. We have to push GE to get engines fast. Simultaneously develop our own engine with help of Safran if possible. Modi govt is trying to bring in reforms in DRDO. Hope they do something for HAL also.
@@vaibhavj701 The Xiaolong fighter is equipped with PL15 long-range air-to-air missiles with a range of more than 145 kilometers. The missiles and fighters are equipped with active phase control radars and have helmet-mounted reality functions. Pakistan is far ahead in this regard and exports to several countries.
@@rojooexdi4480 Pakistan has procured export versions of these fighters . Everyone knows export version has inferior quality goods than the original one. The purchasers of these weapons are in Chinese debt trap . does not required higher quality of goods. to their expectations were to show that just have new weapons than old one. They actually are not going to any war. So inferior quality goods will work for them . Weapon supplier China and engine supplier Russia are two big names behind why they have customers. With them.
Things are going to get worse. USA is going to get back at us, have no doubts about it. Getting F404 deliveries back on track will be Jaishankar's acid test considering his "personal equations" with people who matter in the US Govt. As for the raksha mantri, less said the better. Considering Tejas is built on the Mirage platform, we should have opted for a Safran engine from the begining. Modi's obstinate atmanirbhar bullshit has cost the country dearly. You dont insist on it for something that was required 25 years ago. For the first time a very senior serving officer (the vice chief of IAF) was forced to publicly mention this at a recent seminar. Just forget about Kaveri, MIDHANI does not have the metallugical expertise to develop material required to operate engines at such extremely high temperatures and altitudes, as simple as that. Everything else comes later. Also, the long rope that GTRE has got to develop this engine is criminal. If there is one Public sector unit which needs to be shut down it is GTRE. Even at this late stage I hope the govt. will realise and cancel the 414 deal. France has been our trusted partner for decades, the govt. must deal with them on a war footing.
Why blaming modi govt... Lca was sanctioned and mediocre funding happened during congress government. It was Indira Gandhi who rejected Sweden offer to joint devlopment of jas 39. It was narsimha rao government that opted for su 30 just few months before general election. Narsimha rao government refused french offer for shifting entire mirage 2000 assembly line to IND in favor of su30. It was congress government that was obsessed with assembly of fighters jets in india so that work could be given to hal.
1st flight of AMCA would be after 15 years, then they will take another 5 years to test it. Then IAF will get its 1st AMCA after 20 years. Note :- Manufacturing 100s of AMCAs will take another another 30 years.
Ye engine problem aaj ka thori hai. Marut ke time se engine issue hai India k paas. Marut bas underpowered engine ke wajeh se duniya ka best fighter nahi ban paya. UK ne uss time bas 3 crore mange the India se research kar ke ek powerful engine banane ke liye. But India ki congress Nehru sarkaar ne mana kar diya.
Bhai engines are coming from General electric , a company of USA. These engines have not yet arrived due to supply chain issues. But i get it that entire IAF is against desi Aircrafts. They want white women and aircrafts. Aukaat chamach kharidne ki nahi hai aur chahat mahal mey rehne ki. Do kaudi chief.
Everyday 10 vid of Tejas 10 vid of MRFA. 30yr plan..I don't think even a file moved at office of DoD .fly .drones or fly patang.. ..old model aircraft..even IAF wasn't impressed..
India should scrap the fighter aircraft program altogether. Its a pointless exercise. India is 50 years behind in terms of jet technology if US jets. Even China is 20 years behind US tech. India wont gonna catch up and leaving security of the state vulnerable. Even when all Tejas are inducted there will be 6th Gen Fighters. Then pilot less jets. While India will be using outdated jets with expensive saleries of pilots as well. This whole thing is a sham. India should spent all that money in R & D of pilot less jets.
India is on right path. We r making everything from scratch . So it is taking time . We had trusted GE and ordered 99 engines and now see what's happening . Technologically 50 years ahead country can't provide engines in time . So it's always better to make your own slow and steady but far better.
The F414 deal is nowhere in sight and given the track record of the IAF-HAL-MoD troika, there is no doubt that they will mess up AMCA. While both Turkey and South Korea are testing their 5th gens, our troika is only indulging in verbal acrobatics. Just look at the MRFA! Absolute mess. Shameful. Irresponsible.
Everyone blaming IAF for the delays is also sleep walking. The government has done nothing about the babus and babu culture, they have not done enough to put in big money on R&D, and hiring a highly qualified workforce and creating a modern state of the art work environment. Get the babus out, things will work out.

So sad affairs of state even after seventy years of independence our country is unable to have its own fighter jet engine but our IIT and other engineering institutes are doing from such a long time.
Mr Bhaduria you are an honest person but not as smart!!! Not talking on the Rafale deal.. You must not be defending the Govt. Or Govt. Agencies like HAL or DRDO..
People are talking about tejas fighter utility if u see Russia and Ukraine war ,, Russia and Ukraine are using both modern and old fighter planes ..this show it’s not only weapons it’s strategic uses
Here we go again. Yet another failure. Disappointing. Why dont we just scrap this 4th gen plane. World has moved to 5th gen and this scrap of a plane is constantly bringing embarasment for us past how many decades??
Supply Chain delays is simply Euphemism for lack of Imagine at the Time of Conception and thereafter none engagement by the Top Echelons !!! Sad --- 😅😅😅
Hmm what does he mean by state of art?! This aircraft came super late, and still very light and cant match something like rafale from 1986 or other fighters. 100s of this stuff will be off no use as Pakistan is getting 5th gen, and may be 6th gen from china in the coming decade. We dont even have 5th gen yet and when amca comes out hpw good it will be? Aircraft engine is one of the most complex technologies, probably much more than rocket engine. Unless we need this developed not much development can happen. We need to put more money on R&D. May be more private/public companies should enter the field.
Are you from airforce? Did you fly Tejas? If your answer to any of these is no, you must rely on what the pilots who flew say. From what I heard from IAF, Tejas Mark 1, 1A and 2 are for defence, while Rafale and (upgraded) super Sukoi are attack fighters. Flying these later fighters is an expensive ask. Flying a fighter is a very expensive affair. Just to give you an idea F-35 is the best 5th Generation aircraft, no aircraft comes close to this, it costs more than USD 3.5 million per hour to fly. I am aware that only bright people get into IAF, becoming a pilot in IAF is an accomplishment. While I got admitted into IITD, my close friend went to NDA from where he became a pilot. He is as smart as I am if not more. Please have a basis when you want to challenge them. After all they have dedicated their lives for the nation, if you are not working in forces you and I are outsiders having very limited knowledge, let's not discount what we hear from these folks
@@venkag i am not sure what u took offense too, and talk abt bright ppl etc. we all know the lca is extremely delayed and the aircraft is not much of competiton for jets that came decades ago, by the way fact check, f35 costs about 33000 usd per hour and not 3.5 m dollar.
Also in a democratic country we have the right to our opinion just saying u dont work in airforce so u cant comment is not right. I only said our program is delayed and we need mpre r&D effort.
So, in 23 years (from 2001 to 2024), India managed to produce only 40 Tejas aircraft, averaging about 1.73 planes per year. At this breathtaking pace, the goal of producing 200 Tejas MK2 would take-wait for it-115 years! So, mark your calendars, folks: India might just get those 200 Tejas MK2s by the year 2139. That is of course if the mass production of MK2 is started today. Better late than never, right?🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
I not see Tejas as world class aircraft which can compete international jets as already disclosed it has now problem in installing isreali ELTA AESA radar, fly by wire and mission computer. And this people just making foo l to people talking it's best aircraft.
You are one of the few people who understand, but this is the reality. Indian leaders are unwilling to make progress, talk too much, and do not understand that technology requires comprehensive guidance. They are always eager for quick success and quick gains, resulting in the fact that even an aircraft that is already lagging behind cannot be successfully completed and still has to be controlled by others. . This is India's tragedy.
@@rojooexdi4480 technologies requires years of enhancement through research and r&d.

This is very fishy, how till few months it was all handy dandy Mr. Ananth, now all of a sudden this Blame game on HAL and MOD. Rising issues are ok, if it is there, every journo has the right to do it, But one big question is timing. HAL is the only aircraft Integrator. ADA, DRDO and IAF are who does R&D, D&D, and Selection of the Systems and Sub-systems which has to go in. So if the Engine, Mission Computer and Radar have problems, it is not due to HAL. FYI to all, any aircraft in past or present, had or has some sort of the issue, Major, or minor with engines, mission computers and others. These are a generic issues across the platforms from F-35, F-22 or Eurofighter Typhoon, Mig-29 and even SU 30MKI. 1) Very wrong, How ELM-2052 radar is not performing, when it's working with others like Jags with similar weapons (logically, proven system with access to the source code). 2) Mission computer issues, I mean how. Whether it's software concern or hardware. (logically, our mission computers were more reliable than Russian with open-architecture). 3) Last a question to Mr. Ananth, were you not aware of these issues, when you were making videos at HAL just few months back, you could have raised the issues then itself.
Bro we just can't blame Government for everything HAL is a waste my friend they are fooling us with the help of the government, We can't even produce a single fighter jet by our own and that's the fact.
@@Humble_BalaclavaIAF is not doing R&D, they are just the end users, and can only assist with testing. So, the bureaucratic functioning of HAL, DRDO, etc are definitely a problem. But, since people dont know much about their indepth functioning, they tend to give them a loose rope. Participation by private players and joint ventures for ToT transfer from friendly foreign countries are very essential for India to speed up these development processes.

What BS are you talking about Ex Chief? You are the end user of Tejas you should be there at HAL and ADA everyday to make sure the projects get completed in time. And here you are making excuses like fly by wire is world class. Is the current Tejas production rate world class as well? Is Kaveri engine integration world class as well? Is the proposed timeline of AMCA production about 8-10 years from now world class? IAF is fast asleep and they will only wake up when another Balakot incident happens like 2019.
What can IAF do in all this bureaucracy. IAF's job is to fight, as you said it is only the end user. They cant arm twist civil controlled and operated PSUs on which they have no authority. IAF can only assist im the testing. It is not miltary's job to start doing R&D. They ultimately can only test and operate what they are given by developers and producers like HAL, DRDO, etc. And yes, once again, IAF has no authority and control over these bureaucratic civil organisations.
Wrong fact! Not even half! Pointless Q&A! The way the ex-Chief is responding makes it clear that he thinks the public knows nothing. And the interviewer too is putting across his questions in a very lame manner without conviction on the data that he has. Tejas-MkIA is supposed to be delivered at the rate of 16 per year and then 24 given the augmented assembly line. Then there is no discussion around the sudden noise being made the HAL Chief about the Israeli AESA radar's faults which will delay the deliveries further. The HAL Chief is also claiming issues in the supposedly best in class fly-by-wire software custom built for the Tejas. All in all, IAF, HAL and MoD have all worked overnight to mess up IAF's combat squadron capability augmentation plan. Very poor indeed!
Can we buy 2 squadrons of F-35 and 1 squadron of SU-57? until we have AmCA ready in another 10 years from now? We dont have any stealth fighters.. keep the atmanirbharta running in parallel but we need to procure more
Buy SU57 and the caatsa dog will bite, not capable enough, no mass production yet. F35 impossible due to S400 and interoperability issues, closeness with Russia and neighbouring china.
I’ve waited forty years reading about LCA then renamed Tejas and fifty years reading about Arjun Tank but nothing happened, I think, we are still children in developing such technologies, what a joke
Repeat of Hf24 story all over again. ALAS when will we learn lessons particularly on reliability concerning USA as a defence partner. Hf24 lowpowered engine so is lca

This is very fishy, how till few months it was all handy dandy Mr. Ananth, now all of a sudden this Blame game on HAL and MOD. Rising issues are ok, if it is there, every journo has the right to do it, But one big question is timing.
HAL is the only aircraft Integrator. ADA, DRDO and IAF are who does R&D, D&D, and Selection of the Systems and Sub-systems which has to go in. So if the Engine, Mission Computer and Radar have problems, it is not due to HAL.
FYI to all, any aircraft in past or present, had or has some sort of the issue, Major, or minor with engines, mission computers and others. These are a generic issues across the platforms from F-35, F-22 or Eurofighter Typhoon, Mig-29 and even SU 30MKI.
1) Very wrong, How ELM-2052 radar is not performing, when it's working with others like Jags with similar weapons (logically, proven system with access to the source code).
2) Mission computer issues, I mean how. Whether it's software concern or hardware. (logically, our mission computers were more reliable than Russian with open-architecture).
3) Last a question to Mr. Ananth, were you not aware of these issues, when you were making videos at HAL just few months back, you could have raised the issues then itself.
Bro we just can't blame Government for everything HAL is a waste my friend they are fooling us with the help of the government, We can't even produce a single fighter jet by our own and that's the fact.
@@Humble_BalaclavaIAF is not doing R&D, they are just the end users, and can only assist with testing. So, the bureaucratic functioning of HAL, DRDO, etc are definitely a problem. But, since people dont know much about their indepth functioning, they tend to give them a loose rope. Participation by private players and joint ventures for ToT transfer from friendly foreign countries are very essential for India to speed up these development processes.
@@adityavikramsingh9483 IAF is and will be final decision taker and maker for the systems or sub-systems, going into a platform either be it Domestic or of Foreign origin.
IAF inputs are always taken into account by the ADA-DRDO, So they selected GE F404 & EL/M-2052 from Elta, are as per the IAF suggestion and many other subsystems is to by same process.
Bureaucracy is necessary evil, similar to friction, there is no two ways about it.
DRDO-DPSUs-HAL etc, have done very commendable job with the many Science and Technologies, but they are overshadowed by the underperformance in some critical paths like aircrafts and aero engines especially.
TOT, by allies from either West or East have not been that true, there is no 100% transfers and critical content/tech have always been withhold by them, except for few simpler or common systems were true/full TOT has been given.
There are critical GAPs, Retapes, Administrative overlapping, Bad babus, non-flexible IAF, MOD being slow, Poor funding and Armed forces changing the the GSQRs very frequently.
PPP is the need of the time, but Pvt Industries have to take the first step without taking support of the GOI, which is not happening majorly, except for few like Kalyani, Data Patterns, Tonbo, SSS, ZEN, NSR etc.,
I was with DIAT, so i have seen quite closely who these things work.
The Blame is on everyone, GOI/MOD/DRDO/DPSUs/IAF/IN/IA...........Period.

What BS are you talking about Ex Chief? You are the end user of Tejas you should be there at HAL and ADA everyday to make sure the projects get completed in time. And here you are making excuses like fly by wire is world class. Is the current Tejas production rate world class as well? Is Kaveri engine integration world class as well? Is the proposed timeline of AMCA production about 8-10 years from now world class? IAF is fast asleep and they will only wake up when another Balakot incident happens like 2019.
What can IAF do in all this bureaucracy. IAF's job is to fight, as you said it is only the end user. They cant arm twist civil controlled and operated PSUs on which they have no authority. IAF can only assist im the testing. It is not miltary's job to start doing R&D. They ultimately can only test and operate what they are given by developers and producers like HAL, DRDO, etc. And yes, once again, IAF has no authority and control over these bureaucratic civil organisations.
Wrong fact! Not even half! Pointless Q&A! The way the ex-Chief is responding makes it clear that he thinks the public knows nothing. And the interviewer too is putting across his questions in a very lame manner without conviction on the data that he has. Tejas-MkIA is supposed to be delivered at the rate of 16 per year and then 24 given the augmented assembly line. Then there is no discussion around the sudden noise being made the HAL Chief about the Israeli AESA radar's faults which will delay the deliveries further. The HAL Chief is also claiming issues in the supposedly best in class fly-by-wire software custom built for the Tejas. All in all, IAF, HAL and MoD have all worked overnight to mess up IAF's combat squadron capability augmentation plan. Very poor indeed!
Can we buy 2 squadrons of F-35 and 1 squadron of SU-57? until we have AmCA ready in another 10 years from now? We dont have any stealth fighters.. keep the atmanirbharta running in parallel but we need to procure more
Buy SU57 and the caatsa dog will bite, not capable enough, no mass production yet.
F35 impossible due to S400 and interoperability issues, closeness with Russia and neighbouring china.

sir u have no engines...stop bluffing..lost all respect for u...
I’ve waited forty years reading about LCA then renamed Tejas and fifty years reading about Arjun Tank but nothing happened, I think, we are still children in developing such technologies, what a joke

No reason to be impatient because India will eventually have its LCA probably by 2100.
