The Billion Dollar Question is
Will ADA / DRDO work with HAL
HAL right now with all the adverse media coverage might not really cooperate with
Any body , they are sulking badly
DRDO has more credibility than HAL

You should be locked up with at least 3 priests , for atleast 2 days
You will come out completely cured and cleansed
HAL is GoI resource, it's up to this government whether it want's to strengthen it, or run it to the ground. With TV Spokesperson in command of MoD, I don't see much hope for defense establishment for India anyways. Same goes for CSL and MDL, in two years, Phase II funds for IAC has not been released.
You mean Phase III? 'Cause Phase II is almost done.
CSL is awaiting the final order for Phase III.

But even if I lock you up for 30 days with those same 3 priests you will not be cured.
Till date just 12 SP models. We must be doing something wrong somewhere. Not to mention the damn FOC.
F-16 at its peak had a production rate of 30 per month! And this was '87.

dont forget - after 2019 maybe HAL will make chappal and phones as well along with 1 LCA per 4 months.
Still looking forward for your HAL article, any chance of completing it, or did i miss it?
Breaking News: Tender for first 5 Tejas Mk1A issued. Tejas Mk1 production to complete by Dec 2020. From mid 2021 Tejas Mk1A coming...☺☺☺
Is there any 4th gen plane which has Fly by wire, EW, AESA, BVR, WVR, quartz radome, Software defined radio, all glass cockpit, all together?? If not then why IAF wants all this before FOC of tejas???
Because thats what they can get if they buy off the shelf, Indian PSU's will have to keep up, sort of atone for delays caused by their own mismanagement.
1. AESA is not part of FOC
2. IAF has BVR capability since Kargil, nearly 20 years ago, so that's not really much to ask
3. even upgraded Mig 29, or Mirage 2000 offer these capabilities and more
4. If LCA would have got FOC as planned, it would had been in service for 6 to 10 years by now and would get AESA radar as an upgrade as well, because the original radar and EW capabilities are outdated now (see Jaguar Darin 3, or coming Su 30 MKI upgrades)
So IAF is not asking anything special from LCA, it's just the looooong delay in the development, that makes IOC versions outdated already and FOC at least multi role capable, but not modern anymore.
