HAL Chairman, rather than being given an extension, must be sacked
Yes GE engines is an issue but 2 other things happened
1) HAL is pushing other delivery/readiness issues under the GE Engine umbrella
2) HAL Chairman was on record last month, assuring everyone of on-time delivery
Did he not know about GE Engine issues? Must have been cooking for a year at least. He is such an imbecile and/or a liar. Why would anyone trust anything from HAL!
The IAF must also cop a fair share of the blame. It was only due to the late Parikkar that they warmed upto Tejas and even then ordered only 40 Mk1s. They were also asking for changes to Mk1a even as recently as a few months back
If they had gone for 3-4 more squadrons of Mk1 itself a few years back, we would have not had these delays
Intersection of incompetence & vested interests
