[Zhuge Xiaoche Military Intelligence Observation No. 1] [3432] According to media reports, the Indian Air Force has recently created an unprecedented miracle. It turned out that the LCA fighter, which took 36 years to develop, could not shoot. Once the cannon fires, it will seriously affect the performance of the fighter. This left the outside world stunned. The inability to use the cannon meant that 36 years of effort by the LCA fighter had been wasted, and the airframe needed to be redesigned. This time, the United States and Russia were strikingly unanimous, mocking India's industrial level. Some military fans commented: Is 36 years of hard work going to be wasted again? How unreliable are Indians?

[Zhuge Xiaoche Military Observation No. 3432] As an Indian-made domestic fighter, India's creation of this fighter project is very ambitious, because the world's most advanced third-generation fighter was only in service for a short time when the LCA project was initiated. At this time, India dared to propose the development plan of the third-generation aircraft, and its courage is commendable. At the same time, India realized that its forces were insufficient, so it chose a light fighter with relatively low technical requirements in its third-generation aircraft program.

[Zhuge Xiaoche No. 1 Military Observation] 3432] But what India did not expect was that it took India 36 years to build this fighter. If India were to complete the fighter within a decade of the launch of the project, it would have been an absolute feat at the time. This will mark India's rise as an aviation powerhouse. However, it took India more than three decades to successfully develop this fighter, which is actually very unfavorable for India. With stealth fighters in service and the appearance of a large number of medium and heavy fighters of the previous generation, what role can this Indian light fighter play?
What makes India even more embarrassing is that this fighter cannot use cannons. For warplanes, while modern air combat models have largely been replaced by missiles, cannons can still play a huge role in some cases. As a result, India found that the domestic fighter jet vibrated violently when firing, which increased the flight risk. The reason why the fighter swayed was because the weight of this Indian fighter was too low and the fuselage design was not scientific, so it was in the embarrassing situation of not being able to shoot.

[Zhuge Xiaoche Military Intelligence Concern No. 1] [Chapter 3432] India is not satisfied with this. It also plans to add canards to the LCA to further improve the fighter's maneuverability. Let's not talk about which fighter this fighter copied from. It can only be said that the unscientific installation of artillery has already doomed this fighter to a failed product. The reason is actually very simple, because when firing the duck version of LCA, the cannon is likely to hit the duck, and the air flow near the gun port will also have an unstable effect on the aircraft. It can also be seen from here that India developed this mosaic fighter, but today when stealth fighters have been put into service and three generations of medium and heavy fighters are flying in the sky, this fighter is of little use. Even if India deploys this domestically produced fighter on a large scale in the future, its position in the Indian Army will be very embarrassing.
