    Why Tejas Mk2 (MWF) Will Be Important

    Tejas Mk2 or MWF is evolving now. It will have a big weapon inventory on offer. India's own Astra Mk1, Astra Mk2, Rudram 1, SAAW, Astra IR, SFDR shall be integrated. Python V and ASRAM can give it a significant edge over J 10 (I do not count JF 17 as any competitor). I derby, R 37, R 73 are...

    Why Tejas Mk2 (MWF) Will Be Important

    Ultimately, IAF will go for Rafales only. They might float new MMRCA tender for better deal.

    Why Tejas Mk2 (MWF) Will Be Important

    No countermeasure can work against a mamoth air to air missile like Brahmos NG. Its massive seeker will ignore any electronic countermeasure and hit plane with 200 kg of explosive.

    Why Tejas Mk2 (MWF) Will Be Important

    In this scenario, missile like sfdr will come into picture. If you can shoot AW&C from 350 km, aw&c will loose it's utility.

    I don't know whether what you say is true or not.

    Why Tejas Mk2 (MWF) Will Be Important

    Rafale is build on different philosophy. Reduce as much RCS as possible and complement the shortcoming with State of art EW. I am very sure that It can have reasonably good performance against F 35.

    Why Tejas Mk2 (MWF) Will Be Important

    Agreed but the advantage it offers is that it can detect enemy plane without exposing itself. MODERN IFRTS can detect the hit signature from about 100 KM. Most of the Radars can not detect enemy plane with RCS of around 0.1 M2 from that distance. More over stealthier planes like J 20 can be...

    Why Tejas Mk2 (MWF) Will Be Important

    But they are very useful in hiding the radar signatures and detecting stealth or very low radar signature planes.

    Why Tejas Mk2 (MWF) Will Be Important

    When IFRTS will come in, it will be very easy to track enemy plane and stealth fighters without using radar.

    Why Tejas Mk2 (MWF) Will Be Important

    I think it is better to call F16, J 10 and Mirage 2000 a multirole fighter.

    Why Tejas Mk2 (MWF) Will Be Important

    True but you can fire it from beyond NEZ also. Range is range either for big or small target. The radara should be capable of detecting the target and give guidance to missile till its seeker takes on. 340 KM range means missile can travel 340 km. If radar can detect from this range, than...

    Why Tejas Mk2 (MWF) Will Be Important

    A small correction in above article. SFDR range which was speculated to be around 150 km and same is mentioned in article is now been revealed to be 340 km which is ultra long range. You can virtually shoot down any plane which your radar can detect. Now in BVR combat, radar detection range...

    Why Tejas Mk2 (MWF) Will Be Important

    In its testing in Himalayas , Tejas easily carried 2.5 ton payload which its designers thought it may carry at Max . Surpasing all the expectation of its designers, Tejas carried that weight very easily in Himalayas. I remember the statement of a scientist saying that there is a great...

    GE 414 EPE shall be a 116 KN engine.

    Why Tejas Mk2 (MWF) Will Be Important

    Tejas Mk2 is a testimony of Progress we made in the area of Aerodynamics. 6.3 ton payload is not a joke. Even mighty MKI carries some 8 tons and Rafale a bit more. A single engine fighter carrying a 6.3 ton load is a great achievement in itself. Even if I consider Dry thrust 64 Kn, it easily...

    Why Tejas Mk2 (MWF) Will Be Important

    That's true but I will compare only air combat. J 20 is advertised as stealth but MKIs easily detected them with even no AESA radar. Mk2 with AESA can detect and engage J 20 from a great distance and engage it.

    I am also planing to compare J 20 against Tejas Mk2.
