The Tejas is an armed training jet, just like the Mirage, except not as good.
Tejas is a light-weight point-defence fighter jet. It has to face JF-17s for most of the part and a few F-16s. For that role, it is more than enough. Yeah, India can use it for training fighter pilots too. It has been reported as much easier to fly and much forgiving to pilot errors. So, when are you folks getting your own 'training space launch vehicles'?

Doesn't matter. When we were trying, we were more than 10 years ahead of you and we'll get there again.
You copied Russian cryo-stage design. The access to Russian rocket technology came first. We started from scratch, we didn't even have access to Nazi rocket scientists like Russia and the US. You spent decades wasting money and now that it looks profitable again, we're rejoining. This is investment strategy. You invest in things that are profitable.That's some British logic there. Show me a country that can't design a jet fighter with its own engine, but not an (operational) medium lift launcher.
Your model state China developed launchers first before developing a fighter jet with its own engine (reverse engineering won't count)
It has. That's why your compatriots, and you here- wannabe Anglo Irish- is seen whining every time Indian space program achieves something.
Why, does all those brown skinned Indians beating you in space hurt your your bloated ego ?
The only thing you are going to launch is some small satellite launchers. And given that it's a British project, it would be expensive & non-competitive.
But good luck, competing with established players in an already congested space launch market.
Can't believe that this is coming from a country with zero space launch capability & zero experience designing anything other than tech demonstrator LVs. But if that makes you feel better...
And you have have nothing to say when asked to name a Russian launcher with large solid boosters as is case of Indian ones. Funny as hell.
Now here is GSLV Mk3, a launcher capable of putting 4-5 tonnes in GTO & 10-12 tonnes in LEO. A third generation Indian launcher & end result of four decades of our efforts.
It's solid boosters are third largest in the world (Russians don't have one like it, neither do they use SRBs). It's cryogenic upper stage is the most powerful in operation (again Russians don't have one like it operational)
(Does it look like a big middle finger BTW? No visual pun intended.)

You can always ask for ToT of older Delta/Atlas LVs from you masters & fellow WASP nation, the USA. Ask them not to put their kill switches on that.
Apparently we were left with 18th century standards when we became independent in 1947, all thanks to the assholes called British.
Don't worry, it seems like well achieve manned spaceflight as well as high HDI in the first half of the next decade.
And we'll be making our own space launchers, spacecraft, fighters, helicopters, ships, submarines, cars, trucks, nuclear reactors and most things you can name.
You were left with 18th century standards because you were thick.
You still need foreign help with everything (planes, jet engines, ships, subs, toilets, sewage), so the idea that your rocket program was entirely of indigenous origin is simply ridiculous.
China had access to Soviet tech for rockets too and NK had access to either Russian or Chinese tech as well.
But you didn't beat anyone in the space race, it ended in 1969. We got there first, then looked at the costs vs expenditure and said, "nah."
Is that why it is called 'Air Defence variant'
We hadn't even started 'when you were trying' & look where we are now.
It does matter. That's why two British satellites are now sitting on top of an Indian launcher in some launchpad in South India
And the only way you'll get a decade ahead of us would be India getting nuked or getting hit by some asteroid. Given the chances of that happening, it would remain a wet dream...
The best you could achieve by the next decade would some little microsatellite launcher (we would be launching heavy lift launchers by then). And given the way you boast, your government & propaganda outlets would portray it as the biggest thing to ever happen in rocketry since V-2 & Saturn V.
So MTCR is no good ?
"Access to cryogenic technology came first'' lol.We spend millions of dollars & several years designing our own cryogenic engines.
And you'll somehow get the technology without spending a penny. Are you retarded or something ?
Is that why India started developing when a bunch of pricks left here?
A space filler because France was wasting time with other European countries. The Eurofighter would have arrived 10 years earlier without them.
It doesn't matter because we diverted investment. Now we're moving the investment back. You're claiming you won a race against someone who wasn't racing but beat you when they were. That's like a Renault Clio being destroyed by a McLaren 720S and then the McLaren driver moving back down to a cruise and the Clio driver flooring it and exclaiming that they won.
Our aim was not some petty space race but the development of space technology & it's applications.
And that's why we are launching satellites of some boastful losers today.
Britain won the space race with launching one 140 kg satellite to LEO ?
As I said earlier, you can keep whining like a bitch. It's not going to change reality.
India have home-grown space launch capability while you have none. Zilch. Zero.
Doesn't matter. You had a flying brick as your fighter once & you have the gall to criticize the LCA
So much of empty rhetoric. You will have to start from scratch & is already decades behind.
Using the same logic, USA didn't beat India to the moon. It's just that Indians didn't try...
Poke
I live in and support England - what happened in the test matches ?
You been so quiet for the last month?

would've been better to lose to Pakistan. Oh the HORROR!
