India spent 28 years building the first homegrown fighter what is it called

LCA Tejas fighter.

In 1983, India's LCA light combat aircraft project was officially launched. Although key components, including aircraft engines, are imported from abroad, the development work is slow due to the limitations of national strength and the level of aviation science and technology. By the time the first demonstrator was launched on 4 January 2001, India had spent $100 million.

According to the Indian Air Force**, it will have to wait at least until 2015 to actually put it into mass production.

Ah San's LCA Brilliant Fighter can be described as world-renowned, a well-deserved century fighter, which has been under research and development and has never been in service.

When in service, they faced retirement.

LCA Tejas fighter.

The fuselage is light, and there are more than four degrees of fly-by-wire control, which are better than the Thunder Dragon. However, the radar detection range is shorter than that of the Thunder, and ** higher than that of the Thunder.

The overall performance is similar to that of the Thunder.

The LCA was first proposed in the early 80s to counter the F-16 purchased by Pakistan, but due to India's limited aviation research and development capabilities, it still decided to purchase the MiG-29 from the Soviet Union and the French to purchase a multi-role light fighter with high and low matching. In 88, when HAL published its concept map, it expressed that its performance was better than that of the development, in addition to HAL and other Indian companies, it also received the assistance of companies such as Dassault of France and LM of the United States. And use more foreign systems, such as Ericsson's PS-05 fire control radar, General Electric's F-404 engine, etc.

Despite this, its development progress is still full of twists and turns. On November 17, 1995, the first technical demonstrator TD-1 left the factory, the first flight was originally scheduled for July 96, and then postponed to mid-99, and finally on January 5, 2001, the test flight was carried out, and mass production will be at least after 2015.

This cargo is definitely a strange fighter jet, and WW's IDF has a fight, are based on F-16, but IDF is good and bad people can be a high-level god horse, this cargo flight once decayed, all kinds of technical indicators are on paper, as soon as the day immediately stops, more than 4 tons of full hanging immediately lie down in the nest, this is not often the radar system autonomously turned on or not on, or the sad 7 ** pylons ground test often appear the phenomenon of electricity, and then again, It's the same 7 pylons, Baba Sheep's fortune speed, climb rate, use ceiling, and logistics support rate are stronger than this goods, and the most critical thing, Fortune has been put into service, and the three-pot LCA is still in ink, it is said that even the Indian Air Force is reluctant to accept it because of pressure.

The 30 years that LCA has been developed and have not yet entered service are considered to be a wonder in the world's aviation industry.

The main fighters currently equipped with the Indian Air Force are:

1. Su-30MKI (Sukhoi Su-30MKI), there are about 250 or so.

2. MiG-29 (Mikoyan MiG-29), the Air Force has 69 units.

3. Dassault Mirage 2000, there are about 60 aircraft of various types.

4. The Tejas fighter (Hal Tejas), produced in India, currently has only a small batch of 8 aircraft.

5. MiG-27 (Mikoyan MiG-27), there are still 85 of them, but they are old.

6. MiG-21 (MiG-21), there are still 125 obsolete ones.

7. Jaguar attack aircraft (Sepecat Jaguar), there are currently more than 100 aircraft, and a batch of second-hand goods have been purchased for transformation.

The Indian Air Force currently has 272 Su-30MKI fighters, 66 MiG-29UPG fighters, 51 Mirage 2000-5 fighters, 125 MiG-21Bison fighters, 139 Puma attack aircraft, and more than 100 MiG-27 fighter-bombers.

The total number is about 789. Although there are 20 orders for LCA fighters, they have not yet formed a full-fledged combat capability. In addition, the Navy has about 20 MiG-29K carrier-based aircraft and 11 Sea Harrier carrier-based aircraft.

Fighter: Fighter aircraft, also known as fighter aircraft, is a military aircraft used to destroy enemy aircraft and other flying air attack weapons in the air.

During the Second World War, it was widely known as the destroyer. The main task of the fighter is to engage in air combat with enemy fighters and seize air superiority (air supremacy).

The second is to intercept enemy bombers, attack planes and cruise missiles, and can also carry a certain number of ground attack ** to carry out ground attack missions.

Fighters include interceptors used for air defense in important areas, but since the 60s of the 20th century, due to the improvement of radar, electronic equipment and systems, the task of special interceptor fighters has been completed by air supremacy fighters, and interceptors are no longer developed.

The fifth-generation fighter aircraft had a maximum flight speed of 3,000 kilometers per hour and a maximum flight altitude of 20 kilometers, and it was also equipped with advanced electronic countermeasures equipment.

It is mainly used to annihilate enemy aircraft and other air raiders in the air, and is characterized by high speed, fast ascent, high ceiling, and good maneuverability.

Although both countries are customers of Soviet-style or Russian-style fighters, it is not difficult to draw conclusions.

India's advanced fighters mainly come from Russia, while China has imported Su27s with similar performance

The performance of the Su27 export version is not very good, compared with the Russian mainland, there is a big difference in the radar detection range, the number of targets tracked and hit at the same time. The Su27 also did not perform well in actual combat around the world.

China saw where these problems were, hence the J-11, which had the best result in actual confrontation exercises was that it could defeat the Su-27 with a ratio of more than 1:10. The reason is that the J-11 internal system has improved by leaps and bounds over the Su27.

But is there still an advantage over the Su-27 in Russia itself? There may still be, because the military is aiming at this point for improvement and research and development. At the same time, the improved J-11 also had advantages over the Su-30 in simulations.

Because the Su-30 is inferior to the J-11 in simultaneously tracking and striking targets.

Seeing the great success of the J-11, Russia was quite angry back then, saying that China had infringed on its intellectual property rights or something. Hehe.

In this sense, as long as the performance of our fighters surpasses that of Russia, India's shrunken version of the fighter will not be a problem.

Secondly, the foundation of China's aviation industry is much more developed and advanced than that of India.

In addition to the backwardness of aircraft engine technology, China has the ability to surpass Russia and even the United States. Engines are generally imported from Russia. The domestic ones are really not cold.

China's self-developed J-10 is a good illustration of this. In addition, China's J-20 has also made a major breakthrough, and it is currently in the process of testing and minor modification.

In wartime, China can adopt J-10, Su-30, and J-11 high and low comprehensive combinations (indispensable early warning aircraft) to form a super combat effectiveness, which cannot be compared with India, which is heavily dependent on foreign countries.

Don't be superstitious about the Russian **, the Su-27 does not have a good reputation in the Chinese side, and it has almost become a garbage product.

Different types of fighters Su-30 is a heavy multi-role fighter, China's main equipment is given to naval aviation, Su-27 and China's most advanced fighters are J10 and J11B. I say, the Su-30MKI is a customized version of India.

Eldest brother... f22？Now there are only 187 that only the United States has, and Russia will cooperate with India? India is currently inferior to China, but when India is equipped with Rafale, that's another story.

<> "The fighters of the last century are still half-finished, and India wants to have three fighters, a fool's dream!"

Aircraft carriers have always been the maritime giants that every country wants to have, and with the existence of aircraft carriers, a country's naval strength will increase several times.

For the country as a whole, not only the military strength of the Navy has grown very well, but the aircraft carrier has also become the best symbol of this great power.

India has been looking for an aircraft carrier that can show its national strength.

The Indian military finally has an aircraft carrier, although this aircraft carrier is from the Russian side.

With the upgrade and modification of this aircraft carrier, this aircraft carrier is considered a top priority by India.

With aircraft carriers, carrier-based fighters have become a very worrying thing for the Indian Navy.

In order to meet the thirst and demand for fighters, India ** developed new plans.

This plan is to drastically reduce the cost of national defense imports and use more military spending on domestic research, which makes India's military factories even more excited, and there is a feeling that domestic carrier-based aircraft are about to come out. Rubber osmosis.

With the successful take-off and landing of LCA fighters, India is preparing to develop carrier-based models of LCA and new AMCA fighters.

One is a carrier-based aircraft specifically designed for aircraft carriers, and the other is a domestic fifth-generation fighter made by India.
