[Ronit_]

India when it comes to missile technology -- 💀💀💀💀🤯🤯

India when it comes to fighter jet production rate and jet engine development push -- 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

[chethannayak]

HAL asking private sector to adhere to delivery timeline. Joke of the year 😂😂

[Anniyan-v.]

I don't think IAF would be inducting 1200 fighters rather it could be a mix of fighters and UACAs (Unmanned Aerial Combat Aircrafts).

[bijitkarmakar]

Even jaguar is saying change me into OMCA 😂😂

[kiransengupta]

The present is uncertain but the future is bright

[anuragkaushik-mise]

I don't know English but my interest in defence so please touch in hindi version

[aruunmenon]

TEDBF is delayed because of NO FUNDING. IAF disinterest is a REASON for that delay in funding.

[ThePerfectHuman-imeq]

Sir, we should join global combat air programme.

[govindankt]

Is it possible to reuse MIG-21 into a missile like warhead.

[Knightrider]

Is tedbf really going to be 4.5 gen, i think they Will upgrade it into 5 gen and make MK2 varient

[LastFight-zb]

Armed variant of archer ng first flight when??

[Braveheart_]

1200 ? Don't decrease, make it 120000🧐.

[adm]

I think they mean 16 squadrons, not 60 squadrons.

[emotionalIntelligence]

HAL has finally taken one significant step : 50% stake. Another game changer will be Foreign partner in AMCA...or maybe an individual contract for parts like 120kN deal and other things might also be a good option as it ensures independence and keeping foreign firms just at supply chain level.

[sanjayjayachandran]

Tejas mk2 program should be speed up of for design and stealthy design and should ramp up the process 🇮🇳❤️

[deepaknagvekar]

HAL should practice before it preaches. How can HAL expect others to adher to the timelines when HAL itself has no timelines for itself.

[empowered_soul]

Instead of buying foreign jets, they should build assembly lines

[WhoAmI]

If archer can fire astra and saw then we don’t need MRCA 😊😊😊
