LCA TEJAS MK1 & MK1A: News and Discussion

[IndianHawk]

Almost 1000 trm aesa for mk1a is phenomenal. It just blows all its competitors out of water. Fantastic if true. Previously it was rumoured mk1a will have only 700+ trm but they have managed to do much better.

Which means MWF might see even more trm as it will have more power available.

Radome size in Mark1 & Mark2 are same... MWF can have more only of its nose-plug had created enough space of house a greater coolibg mechanism.

I don't like the hud of Tejas Mk 1. Hopefully another hud will be installed in Tejas mk1a.

Just out of curiosity - Since ELTA 2052 is proposed for Mark 1A, what is it currently preventing the use of the same in the already out IOC/FOC versions instead of the pulse doppler radar? Is it the radome size or engine power or software upgrade? I believe the former may not be the issue as the radome size of Mark 1 and IA are almost identical. When it comes to engine power, is the AESAR not less power consuming than a mechanically steered antenna? Finally, if it is a software upgrade, is it that difficult as all codes are developed by us only?

Tejas ECS.

Could still see only old drop tanks. The new improved drop tank with reduced drag and stuff dunno when they will be commissioned.

Is there any friend or foe system or L band on J10??
if all this is true and HAL deliver it on time then Pak & China are f#€ked...!!

looks like a toaster.

Kinda looks like a toaster, yes.

A toaster which outperformed elta in it's initial trials , and this is improved mk2

Ok, I heard it had some troubles meeting the longrange A2G clarity requirments while ground-scanning but overshooting the A2A ones.. This "mark2" probably is a version with those fixed (& not technically an upgrade).

Those pics were from "few years ago". Naturally you didn't see any of the new drop tanks in them.

Oh... right.. My bad...

I just hope so ! But admit that this radar has a very strange look. But I agree the good looking of a radar is not the main asset we may expect from it.

it is also more densely packed than mk1.

Strange look , check

Yes, basically a refined version of the same Uttam... so that's why it was told to be on LCA Mark1A as well.

I told you even tejas is CAA supporter.

go in the corner and think about what you just did
