To my knowledge, Tejas Mk1 doesnot comply whitcomb rule. Tejas Mk2 does. CMDR Balaji and ADA pointed this.

Even if Tejas is not within this radius and is placed somewhere in Madhyapradesh, it can still be used for Air defence, or for support to air defence by using 2x1200 lt drop tanks which can be shed once it enters the combat arena. The damning answer to naysayers of Tejas' combat radius is it has...

The major reason I feel why the weight is high, inspite of using the composites is because of over design in several areas. This is because LCA is a first ever effort of India to build a fighter jet. This is also because many of the sub-systems design was carried out by ADA. This is not the...

The same 'Block' function u seem to have utilized to its fullest.

By not posting in forums and writing ur own blogs but in private setting.

What are those facts and how do u support ur facts. What are ur sources in that regard?

The same goes for you as well...

"The Kaveri engine has been specifically designed for the demanding Indian operating environment, which ranges from hot desert to the highest mountain range in the world. Its design is a variable-cycle, flat-rated engine and has 13 percent higher thrust than the General Electric F404-GE-F2J3...

Perhaps it is part of weight reduction measures.

BTW guys any understanding on what is fuel economy of our Tejas?

dummy missile/ smoke generator.

Yeah Looks like it. I think the radome in the above pic of Tejas is green.

Also, as per the same thread, supersonic drop tanks are ready for integration onto aircraft.

Then what is it? If it is not gun or aircraft? what is the delay caused by?

Mk-1As and Su-30MKIs can counter J-10s and J-11s effectively.

That is not BS. That results in easier serviceability which is everything in war scenario. This results in less turn around time and greater availability rate.

Even if Mk1 is inferior to MKIs right now, they can do the role of Mig-27ML perfectly. They have 4tonne payload capability on par with jaguars. And under the umbrella of MKIs and its superior maintenance due to less turn around time, LCAs will be a night mare for enemies in it's bombing runs...

Because pilot cannot pee in cockpit. That's why...

I think midwing droptank is still being tried out. It's not a established phenomena like inwing..

I feel once Tejas reaches FOC milestone, they should upgrade all LSPs and PVs to FOC level. LSPs could be used to increase squadron strength during wartime.
