funny thing is...in days to come...there will be no pilots in the cockpit...and even to convert old fighters to UCAVs you need more fighters to begin with....also the WW2 is a good example...the later phases of war the imperial japan pilots were neither experienced or had any combat record...

the difference being that india and other western nations invest a lot about their pilots cause we all are democracies...CHINA isnt! they have won all historical conflicts using human waves...what makes aerial engagement any different?...and now they have AI and UAVs to saturate our air...

i asked this specific Q regarding Mk2 production to Saurav Jha once on his youtube podcast...he seems to be farely convinced that HAL has enugh jigs to start mk2 production in parallel...also, we assume that HAL will stay put to bare minimum of 16/yr target...5 years is a long time...entire...

ALSO...the road to AMCA goes thru MWF ! and the IAF that has ordered 4 squads of mk1A...has no justification of not inducting a better MWF in large numbers given the depleting squadron strength ... and also that nobody has 25 B USD for 114 MRFA... even if the contract is signed by 2022 end...

if tejas mk1 is this agile imagine the agility that is going to be there with MK2 Tejas...its going to be a big sin if tejas mk2 is somehow delayed...as it is the only fighter that can help us keep the combat edge because imported MRFA will have high customisation and maintenance issues and AMCA...

at some point we wud like to see a high speed turning radius demonstration...its quite clear now that even the IOC fighters are being converted to FOC standards...now just integrate the Astra and test fire Brahmos NG...and we will smell bad odour from the west as the pakistani establishment wud...

ok...so only the aerial display has been cancelled...can it be because of tech glitches? seems less likely given that there are 3 fighters, any one of which cud perform! so maybe the reasons are positive...maybe they are giving private tours to prospective buyers...nonetheless...enugh fodder for...

share the source please...before pakistani youtubers makes video citing you as an expert

Actually, he was the one who has been batting in support of Tejas from Day-1...him along with Bharat Karnad and those associated with the project. Ajay Shukla has been there always, though he never critiqued the tyejas-bashers as harshly as saurav jha often did, neither did he critic the UPA for...

actually i have heard the man say clearly that fighters from both the squadrons are at singapore

the commentator at singapore mentioned that the fighters are from squadron number 18 and 45 as well...given that flying daggers inducted IOC config fighters and all at Singapore are with IFR probe...can we infer that the IOC versions have also been upgraded to FOC versions? if yes...why aren't...

kindly come out of your neverland...indian defence exports are growing steadily and the latest sale of brahmos is only a good indication of that! "The user IAF itself has not inducted it in large numbers"-- i think the order of 83 mk1a is enough to signal the maturity of the platform and the...

any type of BVR?-only when radar is indian which is why uttam aesa is being made...bsides, tejas can fire, israeli BVRs and soon to be tested indian astras as well. guns? yes they do...ground trials done...but guns dont play a major role in modern aerial combat. u shud never take wisdom from...

i dont think they will...by the time they get a few mk1a sqaudrons, the MK2 will be certified for combat...IAF wudnt be settling for inferior mk1a if they can buy a better one that is as capable as anything in the enemy fleet, and reduces the burden of AMCA and SU30 MKI in the sohrt run...

its the photos from dubai alright...but i think the IAF cleverly sent the LSP testbed for IFR trials as a FOC fighter and kept that for static display...no wonder the PAF contingent were given access to its cockpit that easily! and i have said it mant times that the build quality of in service...

just compare the photos by the paki photographer in dubai to the IOC fighters in aquadron service...you will find the difference between the build quality of the two. i believe that the IAF sent the Tejas refuelling testbed to dubai which naturally being an LSP has lessr build quality and...

ADA website says max g tollerance og LCA is 9...

OKAY...i want to put to rest some Qs of mine, which might be old ones... 1. why does HAL website show LCA radius of action to be 300km while gripen-C with equal internal fuel shows 800 km? if false, whats the approx combat radius then for LCA? 2. is Tejas' max G tolerance really 9G? 3. is tejas...

They don't need to shove down the throat...it's a necessity now. Iaf ordered 40 lca mk1 before even it was granted IOC...but thebtejas mk2 won't hv any prototypes but direct production variants. So far they cud claim shortcomings in tejas...they can't do so with mk2. Their aim of filling up...
