Tejas specs design was first started by outsourced to France DeAssault 40yrs ago, then completed by dozens of West & Russia contractors. This 40yrs old airframe fighter worst than F16 will be IAF future main air power.
In comparison, China Wang Wei took just 7yrs to roll out 5th Gen J20 & JF17 simultaneously, while other Chinese aviation industries roll out more advanced J10a/b/c, J11, 15, 16 and 5th Gen FC31 all in space of 5~15yrs. All are 100% indigenous, except Russia engines awaiting to replace with more advanced indigenous ones.

50% is highest ever achieved but its indigenous. Then the other 50% parts also has below 50% indigenous. Finally an assembled imported parts with less than 25% made in India on non-technology parts is called Made In India indigenous pride.
Doesn’t matter Tejas cost twice of F16 & Su30MKI, triple of JF17, its compared to & deemed better than its peer PAF JF17 that equipped with more advanced & longer range PL8, 12 BVR AAM.
Similarly, Rafael cost twice of J11c that PAF has acquired from China recently, is deemed slightly better too.
At 16/yr production rate, it will take another 15yrs to catch up PAF current JF17 numbers. Nice.
Was expecting Modi govt to ink Tejas with Anil Ambani, after all Rafaele was not given to HAL as PSU was not doing a good job, Anil Ambani was apparently having a great company with decades of aircraft experience. What changed Modi mind, was Farmer protest the reason?
