I always do not understand this AOA thing . Tejas is said to have AOA of 20 deg and few articles claimed that it would be increased to 28 deg in mk2 making it better than rafale . Is rafale AOA is less than tejas or would be in future ? And what about sukhoi 30 mki . it's AOA is 135 deg . If it is then is tejas and rafale even a match for su-30 mki in terms of AOA ?

Tejas MK1 AOA is 28 deg, LSP-8 was not meant for AOA still it did preform 20 deg AOA..

There are no data on MK2 AOA as there are no prototypes in test for MK2..

Only LSP-8 will handle 20 deg. AoA tests have been moved to FOC stage along with LSP-6. LSP-6 is meant for AoA tests.

Final AoA limitation will eventually be 24 deg for LCA.

Earlier IOC target for AoA was 22deg, but with LSP-6 being moved to FOC, the IOC limits were relaxed.
A tejas mk-1 LSP has already achieved 22 deg AOA .
