Noticables ares... modified shape of canard roots, repositioned IRST & refueling probe now resembling folded ones of Typhoon, definitely no DSI (splitter plates still exist & the spill duct over the wings shown in this new model).

Also reduced T/W compared to LCA unless upgraded with EPE or RR engine.
Tejas Mark1/A:
(89kN × 100) ÷ (6500kg + 2500kg) = 8900/9000 = 0.988

Tejas Mark2 (without EPE):
(98kN × 100) ÷ (7500kg + 3300kg) = 9800/10800 = 0.907

Tejas Mark2 (with EPE/RR engine):
(110kN × 100) ÷ (7500kg + 3300kg) = 11000/10800 = 1.01

I wonder if a MIG-29 UPG like retectable probe would work on the LCA.

He says in the interview that low band jammer will be carried in centreline. Can someone tell me if its possible to mount the same on the tail fin? Like the Gripen E?
No, this means they're planning to have radar supression escort-jammer (that is mounted at centreline), not self protection jammer at wing/tail tip.
