Develop training methods, tactics and logistics base.What do they do in between IOC and FOC??

They do all this in one year timeframe??Develop training methods, tactics and logistics base.
Will they start series production after IOC 2 or FOC?

No, they will take the time to finish another 1000 odd test points in 1000+ flight hours. Like getting to 26 degree AoA, 8G limit, achieve consistency in performance and more along with BVR weapons tests, final calibration of the radar and so on.Develop training methods, tactics and logistics base.
I don't know from where are you getting your info but LCA will not replace 200+ Mig 21s. Only 120 will be manufactured for IAF as per the current plan. However recent delays in the FGFA program might result in more orders for LCA Mk2Production target = 10/year??? how are we going to find export orders with this limited production... Also for replacing the 200+ Mig 21's, we need atleast one squadron (17+) aircrafts rolled out of the Assembly lines...
It will be good to set the production targets at 25 crafts P.A. in line with HAL's negative buffer practice...
Both are used together on all aircraft.![]()
Are they still using the LITENING pods?? What about the MMR then??..![]()
my comments:Guide me if any Errors ..Thanks

2. The max weight that any hardpoint can bear is 1200 kg. Hence 1500 kg bombs cannot be used.
@Kunal Biswas
The station no 7 will not carry any BVR according to this:
LCA Tejas - Specifications: Weapons
I think that was 1200 litres to be exact. Don't exactly remember. If somebody remembers please post it here.1500Kg is wrong info also same Chart says 1500 lbs = 681 kg bomb, Tejas use 1000lb Laser guided bomb for test now..
Indeed but why again, Other aircraft use, Why not tejas ? @ersakthivel

There was a problem with datalink between tejas and missile I think, Russians were not ready to give us source codes (read this all a long time ago, sorry for the rusty memory). Only our russian aircraft use russian missiles, we can't integrate them with other aircraft.
Thanks Sir![]()
Made this one sometime back, though it have some errors..
@SajeevJino, note number 4 weapon station, It too design to carry ASHM and Bombs so does BVR etc..
Actually Tejas will never carry AShm, it is not built for that. AShm will be carried by NLCA which is still under development and only the mk 2 version of NLCA will be deployed in combat. We don't have the planned hardpoint capacity of NLCA mk2. So it is very early to say which AShm it will be able to carry and on which hardpoints. ThanksThanks Sir
Some Doubts
can it carry Three AShM in 3,4,5 and two AShm and a Drop tank in 3,4 and 5
The maximum hard Point Weight is 1200 ..so No chance of 1500KG ordnance
my comments:
1. In BVR, only Astra and Derby will be used. Russian missiles cannot be integrated with LCA. Thats why we are going for Derby till Astra is operational.
2. The max weight that any hardpoint can bear is 1200 kg. Hence 1500 kg bombs cannot be used.
