Why do IAF is so want to import a sub 16 meter single engine plane,why don't it ask for HAL to increase the length of Tejas to 16 meters so that we accommodate more fuel,increase in payload and increase in range even a larger radar for more range.

Beta Hawk is trainer,you can't take it to battle. Of course you can use it as a close air support,that too if the enemy didn't have man portable SAM's.
Yes IAF didn't have a single AESA jet so that they want aesa on every jet that they going to buy.
So you are thinking that you can easily put a aesa radar just like a light buld huh...integration takes lot of time.You need right parameters and cooling system and software should be written and...
I don't know people why support f-16 & 18...those americans drags us to WTO for solar panels import....stops exporting parts for drones...so that we can never have a drone and rely on them....So you guys trusting that they will give technology.....keep dreaming..this dreams will burst in jan 2017
