This is a useless rant, order for Uttam has already gone out, and it's a big one. It'll fly on the production when the aircraft becomes available, which is scheduled for next year
The incoming Air Chief has said on record that Uttam and SRK ew suite will find a place on the mk1A. A lot of work has gone into it and follow-on variants for the MKI and AMCA. It's too big a program to fail.
If anything goes wrong, we have backup ptions like the Hawkeye series from Data Patterns.
