ADA always qouted only practical mission payload. Indranil article later confirmed practical payload of 3900kg. This is max rated just like saab gripen c/d . It is technically correct but practically useless. Just like for gripen c/d . But it helps in fighting broucher wars.
Saab really a fucking when comes to marketing the product, their promo video shows that gripen killing SU35 in bvr &wvr with ease
Combat radius is classified . Again 350 km figure is most conservative. On a cap mission it will be much much higher.
Yup they go overboard. They can't beat su35 but they have beaten Chinese j11 in bvr in Thai exercise . They even claim gripen e is better than f35.
Oh yeah, I said wrong... The max load Tejas hardpoints can take with which it can still get airborne, at the cost of reduced internal fuel. @WARREN SS
I donot know, maybe very short ranged CAS bomb-runs?
Janes says derby ER dual pulse is already tested with lca!!
It was I - Derby which was tested in July 2018.
Report clearly mentions dual pulse missile with software defined radar seeker. And this is Janes reporting they know their missiles.
kindly name the news agency please........Costs More Than a Su-57? India’s Tejas Fighter Turns Out to be Very Expensive
March-20th-2020
Tejas Single Engine Light Fighter
The Indian Air Force is set to finalise a deal to purchase 83 Tejas Mk1A lightweight single engine fighters, which will mark the second major order for the aircraft following a prior order for 40 jets. The Tejas began development in the early 1980s, and following massive delays and almost 40 years of work the aircraft was accorded final operational clearance (FOC) by India’s aviation certifying authority in February 2019. The fighter is from a comparable weight range to the Swedish Gripen and Pakistani JF-17 fighter, and is considerably lighter than higher end single engine designs such as the American F-16 Fighting Falcon and Chinese J-10 Firebird. While touted as an indigenous program, many of the Tejas’ core systems are purchased off the shelf from foreign suppliers including an American F404 engine - the same as that designed to power the F-20 Tigershark light fighter in the 1970s, an Israeli sensor suite and electronics, and Russian air to air missiles.
Su-30MKI Heavyweight Fighter and Tejas Light Fighter
Development of a lightweight and low cost indigenous fighter has been pursued by a range of countries from Sweden to Taiwan from a number of reasons - allowing them not only to tailor the jet to the needs of their armed forces, develop high end technologies domestically and pursues their own design philosophies, but also because manufacturing jets domestically is usually a great deal cheaper than importing them at market prices. Considering the highly ambitious plans India has to expand its fighter fleet, which will require the induction of over a dozen new squadrons in the near future, a low cost lightweight indigenous jet would provide an effective means of doing so while remaining within the limits of the country’s defence budget. The only issue with this is that India’s Tejas, largely due to its reliance on very costly foreign technologies, is very far from a low cost fighter - with the recent order costing the Defence Ministry $62.7 million per airframe.
Tejas Single Engine Light Fighter
Purchasing the F404 and Israeli sensors and electronics at export prices, which are the most costly parts of the jet, the Tejas cannot be manufactured as a cheap indigenous platform as Pakistan’s JF-17, Taiwan's Ching Kuo and Brave Eagle, China’s J-10 and JL-15 or America’s F-16 are. Using the American F-35A as an example of the discrepancy in the prices of domestically produced and exported fighters, the jet is being purchased by the Air Force for around $80 million each but is being marketed for export for around $200 million each. Similarly, while Russia’s Su-57 is currently the most costly non-Western fighter being marketed for export, with an estimated export price of around $110 million, it is being purchased by the Russian Air Force for just $35 million each. Compared to the prices Russia and the U.S. respectively are purchasing the Su-57 and F-35A, both state of the art fifth generation designs which are considerably heavier and more sophisticated than the Tejas, the Indian fighter appears to present the country with much less value for money than previously thought.
Hit job by dalals !! Damn these traitors.
sounds like national interest. some one tell these duffers that 62$ million is the total cost including spares and maintaince.Costs More Than a Su-57? India’s Tejas Fighter Turns Out to be Very Expensive
