Fold-able Wings is news to me ..

Where did u get this from? From the specs mentioned, it's a twin seater with foldable wings.. Nice!!

Will reduced radome impact the radar range in any possible way for this bird compared to IAF Tejas?

This is a pleasent surprise , LCA being smallest combat aircraft in the world with folded wings will really reduce space utilized on the deck further

In the picture i guess they have missed Anti shipmissiles:thumb:

will the folded wings have any advantage or disadvantage in combat compare to IAF Tejas

No, N-LCA does not have folded wings from what I know of. Whether something changed, I don't know, but that is highly unlikely.
@Jagdish58
Folded wings affect the structural integrity of the aircraft during flight. It won't be able to pull maximum Gs. That's one reason why even Rafale-M does not have folded wings.

The max G rating for SH and F-35C is 7.5.

Are those fold-able wings in below image shared by @ersakthivel

 

[ersakthivel]

It does not need folded wings as its wingspan is short and it does not need the folded wings.

It only has flaps.

This is a article from 2010, I assume back then there were plans ..

It is possible, The developers had tried this idea into NLCA ..
