Stealth is overrated for ships, IMO.

Closing thread; you boys give yourselves a break and refrain from flaming please. You can restart a new thread when the 05 prototype comes out. 🙂

But will conflicts of the future actually involve opposing fleets driving to within range of guns? I’m of the opinion that it won’t…

Sorry Google Alepou 340MB is right, that pic of yours is a Ukrainian ZUBR. U420 Donets’k.

No need to be sorry. I realized that after I posted the picture, but I was a bit too lazy to bother editing it. Thanks for the correction Alepou!

OK, great. So we have the project start year nailed down. So it’s not too long a program then.

Yes, they can. My mistake. Thank you Victor.

Finally we can bury the 1983 “start” date that’s mouthed by lazy reporters including R. Bedi.

Project definition stage was completed late 88. So the actual development of the plane started around early 89. I am assuming it took a few months to get the tranche of money for developmental phase. Btw, that is an underestimation of the time in the Indian bereaucratic system but we’ll go with that.

However, this depends. FOr Western fighters, is the feasibility study included as part of fighter development?

Do you have a picture of the artist’s rendition? Would love to see that, thanks!

Whatever Jane’s said. (not the feasibility study date).

excellent, I’m glad we solved the question about the beginning date of the LCA program. That wasn’t so bad.

What’s going on with the status of their ADS, or are they not building that?

From JAWA – 2004
Updated May 21, 2004

Notice that the much quoted 1983 “start date” is nothing more than the begining of the feasibility study. Meaning that it was only meant to gauge the level of competency, money, and ability the prospective project required. Along with how much the project would cost, etc.

Only in 1987 did the project definition stage start, which ended in late 1988. Still hardly much work was done on the actual plane. This phase was to nail down the capabilities the IAF wanted in the aircraft.

It can be justifiably argued that the actual funding for the development of the plane only started around 1988-89 timeframe.

The first flight from start of development took about 13 yrs. Admitedly lengthy timeframe due to the political, technical, and managerial hurdles the project had to manuever.

So how much time will it take for the LCA to finish its flight tests and go into service?
