Not at all. ORCA was advertised in the air force variant form by HVT a long time ago. This was followed up with a naval variant also. ORCA is simply a twin-engine MWF or Mk2.

TEDBF is a brand new naval design. No render of a design has been released yet.

As Milspec pointed out in the previous page, ORCA came out of HAL's ARDC whereas TEDBF is from ADA. So we are now playing with 2 different designs from 2 different R&D houses. Hence they can now compete.

Dude, I can't believe you didn't get what he said.

He's clearly pointed out that ORCA and TEDBF are two different aircraft. Points 3 and 4 clearly bring out the difference.

Yes. But according to him the ORCA is derived from the TEDBF unlike what you're conjuring up.

Exactly. ORCA and TEDBF are two entirely different aircraft from two entirely different design teams from two entirely different R&D houses.

I don't get all the confusion around it. The fact that all the ORCA renders say "HAL" instead of "ADA" is proof enough.

The ORCA is as different from the TEDBF as the N LCA Mk-1 is from LCA Mk-1.

Leaving aside who designs what, you've yet to come up with proper sources & citations of the ORCA being independent of the TEDBF as far as designing of the former goes & the reason why discussions on this non issue was prolonged over a couple of pages .

Nearly every informed commentator I've read have all endorsed the point that the ORCA is derived from the TEDBF & that the latter made sense economically only if the former is produced so as to bring down the prices.

'Cause ADA is talking about making a clean-sheet design. A modernisation of LCA Mk2 is not a clean-sheet design at all. It's just a derivative. And the deficiencies of the LCA Mk2 will then get carried forward into TEDBF as well, even if HAL is the lead integrator in the project. You combine that with a low production run on a deficient design, the Rafale is going to gain more importance instead.

Anyway ADA is going to release a model in AI 2021. So it's simpler to wait until then.

TEDBF is meant to replace the Mig-29K. IN plans to buy 57 Rafales/SH for Vishal.
