Yes, contrary to you who keeps jumping back and forth reversing your baseless opinions, I am indeed constant in what I say.
And no that's not the ASR, but as the site itself states:
, that shows specs that the author gave, which doesn't even fit to the specs of ADA. So you don't even fully read or understand what your own sources say.
Just as in the case of Kaveri engine, I made a post long ago, to understand the problems of MK1, the need of MK2 and how the MK1A compromise came in between:

Or
The CAG report, that already proved you wrong on HMS and the time lines, also sums up the shortfalls too:
So IAF, a defence minister and the CAG confirmed, performance shortfalls, overweight and other problems, that caused the failure to meet the ASR and the sanctioning of LCA MK2 and
therefore prove everything you "believe" to know about Tejas, to be absolutely wrong!!!
You can also take well known defence journalist and Tejas supporter Saurav Jha into account, who is reporting about this in detail for years:
No matter how often you want to deny the facts, with made up "opinions" and the lack of knowledge you continue to expose, it doesn't matter, because you simply remain to be wrong! 
Saurav jha says 1995 ASR.
When was the project started?
Project Definition started in 1984,
Present tejas exceeds original IAF ASR in so many areas & subsystems, from
1.Open architecture bus,
2.AESA radar in mk1A,
3.DRFM baesd ASEA jamners
integrated with mayavi EW suit,
4.close to 100 KM range Astra BVR missile,
5.R73 E coupled with Elbit developed HMDS system,
6.ability to fire python & derby,
7.software defined radios
8.Refueling probe,
9. 45 minutes engine change time,
10, Sortie turn around time of 30 minute,
11. 6 sorties a day,
12.pressure refuelling, whole plane can be refuelled in a few minutes,
13.hot refuelling, which means fighter can land with weapons after a sortie, get refuelled within minutes & go back to air to take up another mission. .
14.modular engine design for easy maintenance
Etc,
First you ask experts ,
if it is possible to design 5.5 ton empty weight fighter multi role fighter(not a specialized air to air like Mig 29) ,
with 4 ton weapon load, with a single 80 KN engine,
& 500 combat radius,
Which can attain the f16 STR & MIRAGE 2000's ITR,
With India's technical capabilities of 1994.
Every kid knows ,
low wing loading ,
high wing sweep angle deltas
like mirage 2000 & tejas ,
excel at ITR, & hv a low STR.
Compared to,
High wing loading , low swept wing angle fighters
like F16 ,which excel at STR. & Hv a low ITR.
So if some one combines
,the STR of f16 & ITR of mirage 2000 in a single ASR,
he is expecting F22 level engine tech
Or
Mig29 like twin engined ,low range, low weapon load, very high TWR fighter, specially designed for air to air, due to indian tech level of 1994,
But tejas is a multi role figter, supposed to hv a 5.5 ton empty weight ,
a single 80 KN kaveri engine with an engine TWR of close to 8 ,
combine the STR of F16 & ITR of mirage 2000,
To lift 4 tons , with a combat radius of 500 km & endurance of 2 hours.
This was supposed to be achieved with indian tech level of 1994,
It is a very tall order,
Nobody knows whether such an ASR is feasible,
However taking that ASR as a baseline,
We now hv a AESA radar, tejas mk1A with higher Thrust to Weight Ratio than gripen E.
Which is no ,"Mig 21" class fighter as some guys are mischeviously repeating here.
Trying to spin it for the 3rd time, this time no HMS or missiles?
