Just wing roots. Not canards. This seems to be a twin-seater, certainly not Mk-2.

F-15EX is not an 'upgrade' its a completely new-build plane. The internal components are very different from that of any serving F-15C. Our plans on the other hand call for upgrading of existing airframes considering they're not that old. As such we cannot conduct any such deep changes (like...

What nonsense, IDRW showing its standards again. Calling Mk-2 as AMCA. It's true the Mk-2 is being termed as a Medium Weight Fighter (MWF), but it still remains a single engine plane. AMCA is a 5th generation jet concept totally different from Tejas program.

The use of dedicated jammers is not going anywhere in the foreseeable future. The Raytheon NGJ is an example. Radars are inherently narrowband which means they cannot conduct blanket-jamming of the entire frequency range. SPJs can do wideband jamming against radars of all wavelengths & bands...

I heard that the need for a new radome was because the old one was incompatible with the radar. Nothing to do with aerodynamics.

Problem is availability of internal space, which is very minimal on LCA. Already there is speculation that even the Mk-2 might have to carry an external IRST pod because very little space is available in the nose/cockpit area. If an internal IRST is possible, it must be a very compact one. Like...

Multi-missile pylons have apparently been requested as an out-of-the-box requirement for the Tejas Mk-2 by both IAF & IN.

As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words.

Hands down one of the best profiles of Tejas I've seen to date.
