This is interesting @HALHQBLR CMD said no waiver asked and @YusufDFI says ACM Singh lead IAF diluted “many of its requirements”.
You have to respond @HALHQBLR or else we should all assume Yusuf is right.
Well, he can only do what his predecessors did, hope for HAL to deliver. His elevation is not going to change HAL and its timelines.
The IAF under ACM APS diluted many of its requirements to speed up induction of LCA Mk1A. Yet, HAL hasn’t delivered. If one dilutes further down to basic requirement like firing a missile, and induct fighter aircraft and call great achievement for aatmanirbharta, sure.
They cannot ask direct questions to Mantri ji and Secretary.
They won’t
Any serious defence discussion in India is incomplete without asking for a “complete roadmap for future propulsion”.
Low-bypass turbofan
High-bypass turbofan
Turboshafts (broadly clear with Aravalli)
Turboprops (piston engines seem largely sorted)
With detailed test facilities
Please @VishnuNDTV & @ShivAroor do ask about these.
I would make it as simple as “can India have its own ONERA in IIT Kanpur”
They could not deliver the aircraft designed by DRDO (ADA) and we were hoping engines will be made and designed in India.
HAL should name itself as brand ambassador of Dassault aviation.
That makes total as 10.
Now it’s time @HALHQBLR should start delivering Mk1A
If Kaveri were nearing completion today, India would be negotiating with GE from a very different position.
It would put pressure on GE over both F404 & F414, while giving us far greater leverage with Rolls-Royce and Safran for the high-thrust engine.
The real cost of Kaveri
Tomorrow is 31st August, and as per GE’s last commitment, two engines were supposed to be delivered this month, bringing the total to 9 engines. The 7th engine was delivered in July.
@HALHQBLR Any Updates ?
Ye wala khatam karo fir Kisan pipeline me hai and then comes Kaveri Janta Party Dharna where @alpha_defense will do Amaran Anshan till GOI approves 3 dedicated engine programs.
85KN
98KN
110 KN
since it is Uttam you can call it same but they are different in configuration.
These are all 3 configuration
Did @AshwiniVaishnaw really tweet this @rajnathsingh ji ?

Constant reminder: for last 15 years India did not had a dedicated gas turbine engine program.
Dry Kaveri was converting already existing program into non after burning engine
Do everything “just don’t make your own jet engine effort”.
Safran, Rolls Royce, GE, UEC koi toh de do.. but we don’t fund our on program.
Appreciate this video @alpha_defense
India need 4 categories of engines
1. 85KN - F404 category
2. 98 KN - F414 Category
3. 110 KN - Safran/Rolls Royce
4. 150 KN - 177S category
Kaveri janta party congratulate DRDO for the success of naval antiship missile system MR. By the way this system uses advance Turbo gas generator engine ATGG which is India’s first turbo jet engine.
Kaveri janta party congratulate India on the successful test of ballistic missile shield program phase 2
But it seems they are coming up with this requirement now @Defencematrix1 ?
