I think it's Not official..
Done be college guys..
Certain numbers also wrong, like fuel..
I am sure others will find more.
Seems like it's a 1200 lts drop tank which was previously restricted underbody. IAF seems like experimenting with it under wing and dropping the Pylon along with fuel tank just like the F-22 drops the Pylon along with it to reduce RCS further.
I don't understand why they call it 'fall'. It's a f***ing 'drop tank'. It's supposed to be 'dropped'.The question is not that it was dropped but why was it dropped in a field instead of the designated unihabited areas.
Reporting is just pathetic.
Normally these tanks are jettisoned in case of engine failure or assymetry due to one side tank not emptying out. In case of planned jettison you do it over a designated area. but in case of emergency, you have to do it ASAP.
PROCEDURES Guynextdoor. Stick to procedures. Specially in stressed environments. ANd immediate memeory. That is why most pilots will resay for themselves basic procedures before taking off every times (if incident before vs, abort. etc.)
what the *censored*???!!! The level of reporting...
gen LCA... Can these presstitutes *censored*ing get worse???
Jo bhi hum thik karte hai, "Israel is worhing with us"
*censored* these *censored*s
He isn't a reporter. Enthusiast you can say. A senior member of Other Forum., goes by the account name Bengalrider or something.
There is a internal study going on , it's more of a feasibility study to determine if actual work is worth the effort.
I had come across a study for stealth shaping conforming to a base non stealth design. They are working to develop customised software to help in the conformation. It's too early to to keep expections though.

Tender is out for LCA mk1A with delivery to start from 2022. By then all 40 LCA mk1 will be delivered.
Kaveri engine is now gone underground like black project. Work is definitely going on with some critical breakthroughs but everyone is tight lipped. A few breakthroughs could be due to tech transfer for Rafale deal but not coming out. If more Rafales are signed or emerge as winner for mmrca2 then Kaveri engine is just around the corner. What surprise me is we still have not signed for GE F-404 for Mk1s with 16 SPs out and 8 in pipeline we may have already finished our inventory, as, if I am not wrong we just 24 F404 engines. How and what engine will go into the remaining 16 is interesting to see.
Only engine that is in hand is F414
Either aircraft (to house F414) or Engine (safran Kaveri) is changing for sure then.
Only RFI?
No mention of number of units required..
Same size 5 inch display but smart display.
Why aren't we going for large single display screen...
The RFI mentioned 40 units needed. Although it seems the document has been moved elsewhere. Let me see if I can find it again.
The HAL Supersonic trainer aircraft(SPORT) would be the first to feature a large smart display with all necessary data presented in a split screen manner, of course the Mk2 will have it. The Mk1 probably won't have it because of time constraints, I would love to be proven wrong though.
Means the FoC 16 SP will be built for at least another 2 years at rate of 8 / year

@randomradio @lcafanboy
When he said "About 3 years from now.", he's referring to the Mk1A.
FOC deliveries will start this year and end next year. In 2021, we will see deliveries of trainers. Then, Mk1A the next year.
There is a chance for the trainers to be delayed, not sure about that.
