At this relatively small quantity in order, there is no way, the IAF will be able to get to 42 squadrons.

Cost will drop as demand increases - China's jf fighters have proven to be junk , the fuselage cracks quickly & many have been grounded , China giving it free & countries still don't want it , Tejas is world class it's intent is to be as good as a euro fighter & f-16 workhorse. Economics wise - govt placing huge orders means Hal stock value goes up , this follows the u.s military blueprint & will eventually reach a point of fully private contractors like Tata & others getting the govt contracts instead of non Indians cashing in. This helps to protect the Indian economy from overseas volatility. All said & done it's a great move & congrats to all involved.

Ofcourse everything is good , even before its tested in real life. Its the best air craft in the whole world. Keep drinking the kool aid and stay delusional. Tejas is a light aircraft , its no where near the F-16, which explains why F-16 is a contender for MRFA (Multi-Role Fighter Aircraft) which is the successor program to MMRCA But tejas is not part of the shortlisted candidates. And Eurofighter is more in the category of migs, sukhois, rafale & f-15. Not light air craft like tejas, which explains no one actually bought it despite all the propaganda by Indian authorities and news media. Every now and then HAL would spread fake news that contract is close to be signed with some country in south america or asia or africa but it never happened. The only successful Indian export is brahmos and that too is made with russian collaboration that is russian did most of the design work and Indians provided most of the money.

Mk1a is a huge upgrade from original Tejas lotsa drdo inventions like Intel helmet with 2d & 3d maps , more powerful bvr missiles, ability to launch brahmos & other missiles ( Israeli, Russian & Indian ) DRDO radar that will use navic & 2 other track & radar systems - DRDO with IIT created a auto pilot system when pilot passes out from steep / rapid climb or drop - it's a quality fighter costly @ $ 4 million per fighter but it will deliver as a front line strike craft thats lethal. The navy & amca versions & demand standards modifications etc point to a demand to rapidly modernize Indian air power-seems like the target is 5 years we probably r Gona see a 3rd world war. China will be the cause in the conventional sense but reality is battlefields have changed to cyber space & Islamic radicals more than a idiotic communist state.

Are indians trying to sell the basic tejas with inferior radar in world markets? Is India had been participating in air shows around the globe with basic tejas to woo potential customers?

India has been producing incountry airfcraft such as the Jags and Migs for decades, it can't produce its own aircraft. The Tejas design was started in the early 1980s. India needs to produce its own engines also. P.S WHY IS THE PRESENTER WEARING THE DISGUSTING JEANS???

Guest expert’s quality is awful 😢

It’s shocking to know the first batch of tejas has no advanced radar despite 40 years of development. And it is shocking to know tejas is replacing only MIG21. Then which indian fighter will replace the mirage, jaguar, MiG 29?
