Excellent picture… Looks like extensive modification under fuselage as well as wings ?
Regarding LCA, I believe India should go for large scale deployment. Thats how you will gain invaluable operational issues and fix them instead of doing million test sorties.
I think military technology is all about three things
1. Keeping weakness under carpet.
2. Improve on problems operationally
3. Advance technology comes only on field testing.
I guess all the above said is not done for LCA which is why is it moving no where.
Believe me.. countries like US, britain has fielded technologies with limitations but did constant improvements to reach what they are today.

Assembly of Pakistan’s first F-16C Block 52 began on 14/08/08 as part of the “Peace Drive 1” foreign military sales program. With Musharraf’s resignation today, do you expect Pakistan will be allowed to take delivery of those jets?
US will have to find new ally 😮 shortly.. no other go..
