Tejas fighter that India launched more than 30 years ago and managed to build.
Tejas is also the crystal of Indian-style defense corruption, as was the case with other weapons.
What is Indian-style defense corruption
- People who are neither capable nor qualified form research groups
- Lobby the political community to launch a project group and make the research group selected as the developer.
- Using research funds as a trickle to do business or buy real estate.
- There’s a righteous soldier in the evaluation team of the project team, and he’s got a tackle
- to drive the soldier away in contempt
- No research and development after all these years, and copying Chinese or Russian-made weapons and falling behind are caught by the opposition or a newly established political party.
- The cartels are not punished. They are from a powerful political party.
- The professionals who were kicked out come back and “go back to the drawing board” or “keep doing what you’ve been doing” but it doesn’t work either way.
- Half of them close their business, but half of them are made by copying foreign weapons because the sunk cost is a waste.
- That’s how the Ajun Tank and Tejas fighter came out into the world.
South Korea received Soviet-made tank technology to build a third-generation tank fused with German-made ones, and a fourth-generation upgraded version was soon announced. On the other hand, Indian tanks are crummy and have no quality assurance.
Korea used to license unmade jets, manufacture goods that might be trainers or attack aircrafts, and built 4.5-generation fighter jets, and is about to mass-produce them now. India, on the other hand, has managed to build third-generation fighters three times longer than Korea’s, but insists that they are fourth-generation fighters.
The Tejas crash yesterday after an accident at the Dubai Air Show that appeared to be caused by a gas abnormality.
In an air show, pilot mistakes and poor maintenance are regarded as design defect accidents.
(More: The video doesn’t seem to have complied with the lowest altitude, but it’s hard to understand why the veteran pilot did it, so I think the possibility of a gas defect is high.)
Tejas is now clearly branded as something people around the world shouldn’t buy, like the unlucky F-20.
