I worked at GEAE in 1995.

Thrust to weight ratio, baby

Go talk to someone in HAL or IAF. Go find out why India invested in Kaveri?

I have been following this since you were a baby and when you are my age you will get some sense knocked in to you.

India cannot do some things which is why it is partnering. Time is running out and progress is very less. Read the link that I posted. It is a recent assessment of where we are, not some 2017 article.

Ah got it. We created a better engine in 4 years, but the smaller engine we don't care so we are importing it after failing for 27 years.

This is why east or west India is the best.

If it has then ask yourself why are we importing engines for LCA?

There is lot of misinformation in India and the negative news are rarely reported, so people think we're are doing great, but the devil is in the details

Just five years ago with technology transfer from Russia. 2017. Not quite a while Whereas kaveri is 27 years in development.

Really? They are manufacturing these planes with kits provided by Russia and France. Recently the technology transfer may have happened. Can you point out where and when they did this?

So can't reverse engineer ge engine and use it for fighter.

Where will it be used?

Why would you argue against nationalism?

Kaveri engine is still being developed.p The link you provided is a 12 year old video India still imports for LCA.

After March 2020 i recently wore my leather shoes and had hardly walked when I noticed one shoe was loose compared to the other one. The stitches had chipped of the rubber sole as they hardened due to non-usage. A little later same happened to the other shoe.

My badminton shoes hardly last for 3-6 months. Mostly they tear at the wrinkles or the fabric tears. The glue normally doesn't come off, and if they do I just glue them back and get going.

I have to disagree.
