Can Tejas also have these smoke generators that give out smoke in a linear fashion or it can't because of its aerodynamics?

There are no 'Linear smoke generators' on F-35. What you see is water vapour condensation in wing tip vortices at high angle of attack.

here in this picture its even more clear. You have smoke generators and wing tip vortice separately seen on tejas.

maybe those hardkill explosive plates are not present at the top of the tank and are much harder to launch at that angle.

Hmm, so, the issue is placement and angle?

Really?
Never saw SU-30's or Tejas water vapour condensation.
Are there any criteria required to generate this?

Please check the post again I posted picture of tejas with same

Both are different......AVATAR has no connection with ISRO....its DRDO project

thx
seems like i got confused. thought avatar was converted to tsto due to insufficient tech.

Spoiler

BTW was, sitting on this for a long time. got from a paper. this was supposedly in 2004/2005.

do you have a pic of SU 30 MKI with condensed water vapor on the wing tips?

Noob question, why is it harder for APS to deal with them? APS can deal with a much faster APFSDS rounds right?

Mostly the problem is current tracking sensors coverage leaves a deadzone above the protected vehicle and hence no tracking. So there's that and then most of the effector launchers are unable to elevate to such extreme angles upto 90°. The final approach is a dive which may lead to harder interception as trajectory changes.
I don't think current famous aps can intercept such a steep dive like iron fist, trophy or Arena.
Hopefully drdo said that it's newly developed APS should be able to intercept top attack atgms so let's see, interesting to see how they will design the launched to tackle top attack munitions.
In theory these EFPs should also degrade apfsds if it's reaction time is fast enough

No I'll need to Google. But check high voltage performance by Sukhoi videos on net. Watch them closely you might find those condensed water vapour vortices in them.

development seems good but i believe it'll be another "Shakti" like saga here with SAFRAN-Turbomeca offering a fork of their existing turboshaft for our project,
most preferebly from
Aneto - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolls-Royce_Turbomeca_RTM322
or
Makila - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbomeca_Makila

Isn't that fine .. why take the risk of a brand new engine.

just a slight correction those aren't "smokes" from smoke generators on Tejas,

it's simply diesel mixed with "ink" (as far as i know they just call that colouring chemical 'ink') and when button is pressed it releases dense diesel vapour in the sky while going forward etc

IAF’s acquisition of 114 fighter jets to be part of a major procurement plan

A mega 500-fighter aircraft acquisition process on the anvil for the armed forces; reaching the sanctioned 42 squadrons will take time and the immediate effort is to arrest the drawdown in strength, says Air Marshal Narmdeshwar Tiwari

Can't we privatize air force and give it to Tata?
They will do all the procurement then we will take air force back.

have the loitering munitions drone training simulators been developed yet? should save some training costs for IA, instead of using costly drones for training.

zen technologies and/or that anja VR goggles company should be able to make this.

Guys what's the status of astra mk2
Any update in aero india
