ADA Tejas (LCA) News and Discussions

[john70]

Thats good news. Our cooperation with Israel is begining to look very strong. Further this is indication of 2 squadrons of LCA MK1 getting prepared for induction. Some NEWS for LCA finally.

Soon or later LCA will be using MICA, Debry range is just too short to be called a BVR in today's date..

Who gives what you hate, its all down to functionality.

I don't like the UFCP. Get rid of the bottom display, move it up to throw out the UFCP and make it larger with a touch screen. Yes, it would be like Rafale.

The rafale is a good aircraft agreed, but please do stop comparing every other thing to it

i think R 77 latest derivatives should have been armed in LCA as derby missiile BVR range is limited to 50km only even MICA IR missile's range is touted to be around 50 -60km

 

[Kunal Biswas]

MICA will be on most fighters in future..

No worries here..

self delete double post !!

 

[A chauhan]

but derby won the contract here and also a long range bvr is needed as JF 17 is armed with SD 10 BVRAAM reported to have a range of 70 + km
MICA also has maximum range of 60km at best

Doc have you written any detailed analysis of LCA Tejas like you did for many others ? if yes then please give me the link i would like to read it !
Thanks

 

[A chauhan]

We would love to read it doc, do it if you get time for it :thumb:

REGARDS

see bro we should nt underestimate our enemy's capabilty, it looks good to bash their technology for patriotism sake but still then we have to fight with these weapons if situation demanded SD 10 is armed also in chinese airforce so we must have overwheming air superiority for our own good only for that we need superior missiles to take them out

Yes, indeed but i still fail to see PAF air superiority...

And i have no interest to talk abt its hopper duper whatever fighter in LCA thread..

The LCA and the F-16 are of the same weight and size? How does such incompetent wittering ever qualify as an report? What is the size of the engine in F-16 and LCA? Even if he saw that he could have gotten the answer.

Meanwhile, the 1970s era American F-16 is probably the premier "lightweight fighter" in service and began joining squadrons about the time India came up with the LCA project. Both the F-16 (at least the earlier models) and the LCA weigh about 12-13 tons. But the F-16 is a high performance aircraft, with a proven combat record, while the LCA is sort of an improved Mirage/MiG-21 type design. Not too shabby and cheap (about half the cost of an F-16). Also, for all this time, money, and grief India has made its aviation industry a bit more capable and mature.

Anyone have an account please leave a comment on this page, ask him what engine size diffrence in F-404/414 Vs F-110.

May be problems in sync hing Russian missile with Israeli radar..
Using the Derby as interim quick solution for LCA mk1 & for FOC too..
