LCA Tejas renamed Anant!



LCA
Bangalore: The latest update on the DRDO's ambitious project LCA is that the fighter jet has been renamed to Anant to imbibe and resemble the immense time and effort put in by the scientists. The ceremony will be held in presence of DRDO chieftains and Shri Rahul Gandhi who will be Chief Guest for the occasion.


DRDO chief clarified that Rahul Gandhi was chosen to preside over the ceremony as he stands for the same spirit as that of LCA. Both are supposed to be future of India. Both are still evolving and adapting silently with the latest in their area. They have both been ridiculed as a "baby" and somewhat cute in front of their contemporaries and we don't know when these both will be finally ready for their "Job". Search is still on for their right soul mate(i.e engine in case of LCA). Also there are concerns of not being completely "indigenous" in both these cases.


Blaming the govt for the delay in the project, he said that we put in much time and effort to study the Chinese aircrafts and accordingly advise govt to buy same if not superior avionics and other parts for LCA. By the time govt approves it and tenders executed, the Chinese have already develop a better technology.


On the apprehension of LCA being an indigenous product as we are buying most of the parts and technologies, he quipped "We should not re-invent the wheel".
