Remember DM Parrikar today, this was his idea 🙏

It's very difficult to put add on to the new avionics,since it's not available off the shelf We have to design,fabricate,testing,end user Great achievement 🙏

This is a good achievement. Much quicker than Tejas MK1. Next step AMCA and it has to be quicker.

As seen in the recent wars, drones are the main armament. India needs to concentrate more in this field.

Heartiest congratulations to the Team Tejas. 1. Government of India and ministry of defence failed to utilise the expertise of retired Indian Air force officers and other trade warriors to grab the idea and innovations. 2. During development of TEJAS India faced bans from international community for testing nuclear in pokhran due to which advanced technology were not possible. 3. The reason tejas is not a twin turbine engine is to avoid cost cutting and maintenance. 4. The Avionics and electronics must be compatible to adopt the next 5 decades of technology in its fleet. 5. 360 degree visual range must be installed. 6. The Indian government must think about the installation of the battery and make the jets hybrid which ultimately authenticate the pilots to switch over to batteries when it is flying high and on ground these fuel can be used to ignite, afterburner and thrust power produce to take off the fighter jets. 7. Tejas under carriage landing gear must be improvised doubling its capacity to make safe landing on an aircraft carrier in the Indian Navy. 8. Helmet mounted enemy aircraft lock on navigation and visual technology must be installed to jam enemy fighters. 9. The stealth capacity of the TEJAS must be enhanced to avoid enemy detection. 10. TEJAS must be integrated to carry payload like the BRAHMOS missile and R73 Russian built air to air and air to surface missiles. 11. Tejas on boards electronics must be integrated in order to establish connectivity with satellite and ground fighter control stations to obtain accurate enemy information to hunt enemy birds. 12. Service ceiling heights of the aircraft must be increased to go undetected into the enemy territory at a height of above 80,000 feet but below the stratosphere environment. 12. Modern low hertz radio frequency technology must be installed on board to avoid radio detection and jammers. 13. The dimensions of TEJAS must be slightly increased to occupy more technology and payload. 15. Integrated canon must be installed for adequate firepower. Jai Hind 🇮🇳

Congrats India!

HAL will be busy manufacturing 180 Tejas Mark 1A aircraft's for next 60 years.

It’s not only about quantity , but quality of the products . With its enhancements , Tejus can challenge other jets of equal or higher denominations in the neighbourhood

That was a beautiful song! Even though I don't understand Marathi, the melody itself is so peaceful and calming. Marathi songs always have such a sweetness to them, Which gives a soothing experience to your ears. Marathi culture, like my own Maithili culture, seems to embrace peace and simplicity - that's what resonates most with me, even though I'm from Mithilanchal and haven't been to Maharashtra. By the way, that Maithili song you sang earlier was lovely too!" This phrasing emphasizes the positive aspects of both Marathi and Maithili culture, and it shows appreciation for both songs.

Great to see Angad and another gentleman Deepak.

If we can develop an own Engine, purely own, it will be great.

JAI HIND, BHARAT MATA KI JAI.

Great achievement.Jai Hind

Great achievement 👍🌹

Jai hind, pilot shiv congratulations.

Mera Bharat Mahan

Excellent presentation Shiv

GREAT ACHIEVEMENT COGRATULATIONS

Waiting for Tejas MK2 and Amca Mk1

Bharat mata ki jai India 🇮🇳 🙏 👏 ❤

Fantastic Sir.

Awesome 🤘🏻💯

Respect Manohar Parakar sir

HAL🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

Nice explain in detail so enemies can understand...😮

Can the reporter please start by staing," Group Captain with a total flight hours of flying (variuos fighter planes and Tejas exclusively) how good can the time line of HAL actions to get upgradation of Tejas seen different or in parallel with various fighters in IAF will be adding to the combatable stats and so on....)

Excellent presentation. Wish we had more of these from different sources, but unfortunately defense news coverage is very pessimistic despite some huge achievements.

Whatever latest weapons, avionics be developed the crux of the problem with Tejas is that it does not have an indigenous engine. It is fully dependent on GE for the engine which is the heart of any aircraft. GE is an US company which is obviously under the control of US state rules & regulations. The day US decides to pull the plug, which it usually does with any nation that does not toe it's line, the entire fleet of Tejas will be grounded. Hence, it's very important that India quickly develops it's very own engine which is more than a match for any of the aircraft engines competing with Tejas.

Best fighter ever for the 1980s era😍😍😍

Great, this game changer jet should be able to challenge the MIG-21.

New geration is fly by wire tech.basically communication, to air com, hammers,statilite com lit more things

Looks almost like F-106 Delta Dart built in 1956 except its slower than that. 🙄

Can all improvement in Mark 1A intregaed in Mark 1?

HAL is not enough to fully meet India's needs. India needs at least two more companies like HAL. Otherwise very very complicated encounter China coming years

Good perspective!! They need to make a jump to AMCA rather than going to MK2 that'll help the airforce a lot!!

This latest variant of the "Tejas" stands little to no chance against the Pl-15 armed JF-17 Block3.

Jay hind .

Desi weapons should be our Raksha mantra.

the pic used in 1:30 is tejas mk1, not mk1a

India needs to.develop expertise in building defense weaponry for export to less developed countries.

Producing first piece is easy. But scaling up if not done properly can leave malfunctions and faults.

Indian HAL should Deliver at least 30 jets every year .. to fulfill contracts Abroad too.. Foreign customers will be in line if delivered timely

Jay Shree Ram 🙏

Should join service as soon as possible

Any news about tejas mk2???

What is the present status of AMCA ?

Replace it with Mirage 2000 like engine from safran. It will be more lethal.

Is it comparable with MIG 21

I am not sure which excited Tejas pilots Shiv is speaking to...I have not met one, as yet.

Unless core engine technologies are developed and engine of 110KN is made indigenous. The program still remains in limbo. Unless an integrated facility is developed like for ALH using private partnership, you are behind competitors.

I really wanted to say its a product of "Jugaar India" but honestly cant say that anymore about India.

HAL needs private sector involvement otherwise it will not succeed. Tejas is almost like trainer aircraft not full fledge fighter jet.

4:20 tejas mk2 is not going anywhere Tejas mk2 will act as a bridge to amca and tejas mk2 is there reason we have bought engines from USA

SATYAM SHIVAM SUNDARAM SATYA HI SHIV HAI SHIV HI SUNDAR HAI

Gp Capt is speaking under high G-force, looked like he was about to pass out in the middle of his jittery speech.

I think next tejas mk 1A should be solar powered or electric powered engines ,coz the time nxt TEJAS MK1 W petrol may have been a thing of the past !!!😂😇😜😁😷😀😂🤣🤪😝

There is no such things advances 5 th 6th ,our hero abhinandan is example with mig flight far beyond tech of f16 he has proved that fighter in cockpit and his skill is important

India needs 60+ squadrons to deal with twin threats. Along with Tejas , India needs to buy 150+ fighters either Rafaele , Eurofighters or F15s/F22 , Indian airforce needs numbers

Very special Very quick all completed produced full full. Very late . Wanted levels big challenges. Two side challenges maintained. Congratulations dear all except brilliant expect brain people. working success future

The speakers do not sound convincing on the quality of the plane.

You couldn't show the takeoff!!

What is the percentage of indigenous development ?

Mrfa should be concluded immediately...

tejas looks remarkable for a 40 year old plane

Bharat should donate 1squadron each to srilanka and Bangladesh. after completing Desi orders.

We need at least 2 squadrons produced each year otherwise whole program will be obsolete 😮

Lol, make sure the best ejection seat is installed

1984 to till now......

Wooooow india managed to perfect a 4th gen fighter at a time when 5th fighters have been flying for decades and 6th gen prototypes are being designed. Sooooooo brilliant. 5th highest in gdp yet still 30 years behind every other nation in aeronautical R&D and manufacturing......

The MK1A is a year away from serial production.

In the right direction, but too slow.

Connect the dots dots intestinal other nerves lines

8:56 9:17 9:18

Msths is with sphimcterd

Better late than never

If time is not a criterion, anything can be produced. The need of the hour is Operational readiness with hostile countries around. Optics and publicity of administration and media doesn't come handy during invasion in the absence of operational readiness. Accountability is the requirement

India should offer an alternative NON US engine. Everybody knows how that country black mails any nation with it's weapons. That is a heavy Negative aspect of this aircraft for export.

when will it actually fly - for younger genratins information Tejas project was started more than 40 yrs ago and it still not ready so shameful

Wow.

Is the engine indigenous?

No one wants to take the responsibility for HAL That's the reputation of HAL 😂😂😂😂

Aesa radar?

He's a captain and that's all he can say????????? Look for anybody else

It's best to admit that we were only 80% successful.

I am disappointed that Angad was not completely honest in describing Mk1A. The Mk1A is no midlife upgrade, it is basically HAL finally delivering something close to a fight capable aircraft that was originally promised to IAF. The CAG report of 2015 clearly lays out how miserably below the ask was Tejas LCA. MK1A is a compromise, but hopefully HAL can finally deliver, 5 decades too late.

16 aircraft healthy production rate what a joke

Fascia is witb portry

These idoits missing the point. Its pyhton 5 er bvrram and astra missile which has 100km + range. It has i derby 50km medium range.and r 73 close combat missile. It has aesa radar simultanouesly locking 15+ air and ground targets. Ew suite which will be mounted externally is big plus. And also the aircraft is 1 ton ligher with more range.

dont think large numbers of 'effective' 5th gen fighters will be operated in large numbers in our neighbourhood. They are too costly and have limited role in 'pure stealth' mode during war times.

Why depend upon HAL on production? Give production order to Indian private companies with freedom to produce as many as they can.

took 4 years, just put on an AESA radar

The need of today is ACMA and not tejas

Gripen generic ?;

No Sir I Can't Accept with you Sir, India needs more Tejas like Air crafts for India and to export to other asian countries also to boost Indian economy. It will become a great boost to industry also. Central govt should increase the production line upto 120 per year why because full shouse of Indian army need at least 2500 air crafts required. Most of air crafts in Indian army used ancient time vehicles.

Tejas mark 2 is necessary because amca will not come before 2035 we must buy Russian 5th generation aircraft

Very Slow Development plz Privatise

Is it 100 percent Desi? Like each and every part is indigenous

Better to buy more aircraft Tejas will never be to hal defence looting money

THE ASSEMBLY ..LINE SHOULD BE WORKING ON WAR FOOTING..

🫶🇮🇳👍❤️
