hey, then what is the meaning of the FAMED WING SHAPE of tejas, if they are now adding "canards" on the plane.
Also if you see refueling probe is no longer fixed and visible. It's retractable.C
Looks like close coupled fully active canards like in rafale and typhoon
This configuration was explored in the beginning of LCA programme , wind tunnel model exists
Tejas famed wing shape can provide excellent lift only. The changing direction requires moveable parts like canards. Canards are for maneuvering need onlyhey, then what is the meaning of the FAMED WING SHAPE of tejas, if they are now adding "canards" on the plane.
Well actually I didn't missed the bus completely. What I said was in perspective of the tweet. When I said 83 numbers of Mk2 I had taken into consideration the RFP. As we all know that HAL have a confirm order of 20 IOC standard and 20 FOC standard Tejas. For the rest 83, only RFP has been issued, but no deal has been inked as of now.You have completely missed the LCA information bus.
MK1 means both IOC & FOC;
MK1A means beyond FOC i.e. AESA, EW suite, Refueling probe ,etc; IAF has agreed to buy 83 MK1A.
MK2 is completely different bird.
Here it is.
Don't thank me.

Thanks.. yes that's stealth version of LCA.. i guess this should be mk3.. but who knows
Engine intakes are a bit forward though IMHO.
BTW, lower one is LCA MkIII/ MCA MkII stealth version??
Only an idiot would think that analysis is sensible. JF-17 project hasn’t even achieved 25% of what LCA hashas anybody read vayu magazine ,everytime i read it becomes more frustrating whenever he compare jf 17 and lca
they go on continuously singing the paens of jf and criticizing lca on almost every parameters
has anybody heard about promdut das

Comparing tejas, a fourth plus gen aircraft with a third gen jf 17 may have happened in his fool paradise. That's why he is vomiting nonsense. These morons will always verbal diarrhea one way or other. They live with it.has anybody read vayu magazine ,everytime i read it becomes more frustrating whenever he compare jf 17 and lca

Doesn't this raise our total no of squadrons ? Considering we would order more Raffles like we did with SU30…?18 squadrons.......... Really?
You have to factor in mig-21 and mug-27 squadrons which are going to be de-commissioned in next 10 years.Doesn't this raise our total no of squadrons ? Considering we would order more Raffles like we did with SU30…?
There are only around 32 squadrons right now....out which nearly 320 Mig21/27s will retire shortly. 320 Tejas Mk1/Mk1A/Mk2 will replace just those in the next 10 years.Doesn't this raise our total no of squadrons ? Considering we would order more Raffles like we did with SU30…?
If MoD/DRDO folks are reading this...There are only around 32 squadrons right now....out which nearly 320 Mig21/27s will retire shortly. 320 Tejas Mk1/Mk1A/Mk2 will replace just those in the next 10 years.
Extra Rafales will augment a bit....but then Mirage2Ks/Mig29s will also retire in about 15-20 years!
Aircraft like rafale is just like a sniper rifle so it could not be part equipped the whole army. We shouldn't keep the whole budget on a particular vendor's coffers. Moreover, tejas is not just a fighter aircraft, it's just an aviation industrial ecosystem and platform for other high end fighters be it unmanned or manned.18 squadrons.......... Really?
