MWF has big shoes to fill if we compare it's performance with Rafale because Rafale is pioneer of aviation engineering but if MWF touches the 90% of Rafale this will be among the best fighter in world .But my expectations are higher this time.

Hi All,
This is my very first post in this forum. I’m Just a common simple Indian who always abide by law of land. It’s really laudable achievement that we have developed many technologies regarding fighter jets but without indigenous engine do they have value. Stop crying about funds, we are still an under developed country who aspire to take on developed adversaries (in military terms only)........

Different tenders are issued for development
Like drag parachute system.......etc

So we can say either metal cutting started,or will be soon
Again Tejas mwf will be superior to mirage 2000 and inferior to Rafale
Rafale will be able to carry more payload than mwf.....
Rafale comes with superior electronic s and weapons package......
India is 10 yrs away from sfdr the meteor equivalent...
No air to surface missile like scalp (not in development too, brahmos ng ,or brahmos extended can do)
Tedbf will be far superior to rafale .....
Bdw saras mk2 is progressing well.........

Most of the information is wrong ..

Elta 2052 is not a GAN based radar , also 116 kn thrust GE414Epe would not be used , show me any reliable source which shows that 116 kn thrust GE414 is operational or it would be used in Tejas mk 2
Most of you tube videos are fan based idiocities. But in Epe info is right. You can look at GE site. Its planned to be at 116KN. But testing has just started. But it's expected to be atleast 110KN.

However in Tejas MK2 it's the in6 version with 98KN thrust.

Tdbf may outperform but


The rafales that flew in 1987 is totally different from the latest rafales .

2026 MWF may be better than 1987 rafales but not the latest generation

MWF may have better sensor fusion than Rafale and EW is not much Inferior to Rafale . And MWF will have the capability of co operative engagement(not sure) and MWF can control Unmanned Wingman that capability alone is enough to outperform our current Rafale . Wingman can use as our EW suite , decoy , Missile carrier and any other sensor . Atleast that's the plan of HAL , if they achiev it then no doubt MWF will be superior than Rafale
