CCS Clears 3rd Production line for speeding up production of Indigenous LCA TEJAS


CCS meet chaired by PM Narendra Modi cleared a proposal to ramp up the production of indigenously built LCA Tejas fighters. CCS meet was chaired yesterday by PM Modi and one of the crucial agenda was approval for HAL to set up third Tejas production line. 

 HAL already has identified land near Nekkundi for setting up structural assembly hangar, process shop and sheet metal shop, among others.

  But CCS clearance will allow HAL to start the process of seeking various clearance and also prepare a report for capital expenditure required for the new facility.
Defence Analyst Ranesh Rajan speaking to idrw.org informed that CCS Nod only means HAL Proposal has been approved and final clearance is still far away but still can be seen has positive progress and it is expected that in next few years a 3rd production line facility will be established to execute Indian air force orders placed for 83 Tejas MK1A .

    Since Tejas have come up with some stealth features, as the Chinese claimed, due to its small size and use of composite materials (small radar cross section), more the number in the IAF within a short time will give India the protection against Chinese J-20, the stealth fighter under development. So, the Third Production Line is a very welcome move and will help to fill up strategic gap of the IAF that is ramp up its fighter strength from present 33 squadron towards 42 squadron, the sanctioned strength required for a two-front war. Three cheers to Modi Model Modernization!

China on Tuesday unveiled its J-20 stealth fighter jet at its biggest air show which will have major implications for India as it is the first indigenously-made fifth-generation Chinese aircraft which Pakistan has shown interest in acquiring. Two J-20 aircraft which made waves in the Chinese media in the last few years flew at the Zhuhai city air show where the Pakistan Air Force is also taking part flying with its J-17 Thunder jets which are jointly manufactured with China. This is the first, public show of the J-20 warplane. Pakistan, the largest importer of Chinese arms has said earlier that it is in talks with China to buy the FC-31 - an export variant of the same aircraft. The FC-31 was briefly flown in the 2014 Zhuhai airshow. The stealth aircraft is regarded as major breakthrough for China which is otherwise mostly reliant on Russian aircraft including advanced versions of Sukhois. India is yet to make stealth aircraft which can penetrate through enemy radars. The J

Jammu is up in arms against the authorities. This time, it is not against discriminatory policies being pursued by the successive Kashmir-dominated and Valley-centric governments in Jammu & Kashmir since 1947, but against the settlement of Rohingyas from Myanmar in Jammu and Ladakh, both strategically vital for national security. According to the late Jammu and Kashmir chief minister, Mufti Mohammad Sayeed, the number of Rohingya Muslims living in different parts of Jammu city and around it, was 5,107 in 2010 (AINS, 10 October 2015). And, as per Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti’s June 2016 Assembly statement, there were 13,400 Rohingyas and Bangladeshis living in camps in Jammu.

The break-up of Rohingyas settled in the state is as follows: Jammu – 5,086, Jammu’s Samba district – 634 and Ladakh – 7,664. The total number is 13, 334. The Jammu Chamber of C
