Anyone has any update on the 7 remaining Tejas mk1 trainers to be delivered to the IAF as part of the original contract?

LCA Tejas Gets Initial Operational Clearance for Induction into IAF (pib.gov.in) Press release also says, "Over 1700 kms". So, it's definitely around 1800 kms or so. If you are talking about your fighter on an international platform, giving conservative numbers isn't really a good choice i believe.

He says, with 3 x Drop tanks, Ferry range is in excess of 900 miles(almost 1500 kms). However IOC press release said, it has a ferry range of over 1700 kms. Also during the Singapore Airshow, it flew from Port Blair to Changi Airbase which is almost 1700 kms as well.

Any news on the Tejas flying display from the remaining days?

I agree, but even if they are good maneuvers, u cant be repeating them everytime lol. Anyway thats just my personal take.

wohi exactly same gheesi peeti maneuvers in the exact same order like every airshow. lol

when is the Tejas Air display taking place? Any links?

HAL aint perfect, but the IAF kept shifting the goal post. Tejas was granted IOC in 2011 and a reasonably sized order then itself would have ensured deliveries to begin by 2013-2014 in decent numbers. Instead as usual, IAF started adding requirements...like they want Tejas to fly to the moon and...

They have accepted the "under the table" gifts from Israel. Now they have to give them some business, if not all..

Lol kuch Lol, kuch bhi. The current Tejas weight is 6.6 tons empty and it can carry 2500 kgs of fuel and 4000 kgs weapons payload, thus a total of 6.5k tons payload(fuel and weapons). So Ajai Shukla is saying, 1.1k tons will be shaved off and the 5.5 tons fighter would carry 6.5k tons payload...

Facts about JF-17 & LCA Tejas #jf17thunder #lcatejas #pakistan - YouTube First time ever, I would agree with a Pakistani. They are literally not equipping Tejas with any weapons. Astra mk1 integration is "ongoing" for the last 2-3 years. SAAW integration no status? Asraam? No idea. JDAM/Hammer...

Something to be noted about Ex Desert Flag is.....The Tejas units that have been sent there are FOC versions. However the Aerial refuelling probe have been detached.

Desert Flag VIII

yeah and thats why Rafale costs 3x to buy and 3x to operate. you will keep reading this "copy paste" posts because those are factual specs and numbers. You call spade a spade, right? u dont say thats "copy paste"

No, comparing Tejas with Rafale and F-16 is definitely not their insult. Their is commonality in the core technologies - Design - Unstable with Relaxed Static Stabiliy Flight controls - Quadruplux Digital Fly by Wire Make - Composite airframe, Tejas has highest in the world Cockpit - Glass...

FA-50 is not even in the same league as Tejas. Both shouldn be mentioned in the same statement .

Someone correct me if i am wrong, but HAL has delivered 16 IOC + 16 FOC Tejas. Only the 8 Trainers are remaining which will be delivered in 2023-24, whilst the first 2 Tejas mk1A will be delivered in 2024.

that wont be the case but 500 kms gives us enough cushion and leverage to take diverted routes, etc to reach... Say.. Islamabad. And doing CAP with Air to Air missiles, without drop tanks would still give it a flight time over an hour and a half. Air time of 15-30 mins? Wtf. Mazaak chal raha...

around 500 kms without tanks . More than enough to dominate over Pakistan.

i was wrong about the dual pylons. Dual pylons is being developed for CCM, not BVR i thought earlier. And we need to consider that because its one of the major known upcoming upgrades. And 500 kms combat radius is more than enough to dominate skies over Islamabad for good period.(Islamabad is...
