LCA TEJAS MK1 & MK1A: News and Discussion

[Holy Triad]

LIMA-19 (don't know which model):

I think its an SP-09,coz the pics and videos I've seen with the tail no. of LA 5009

That's why I said, me and Sourav Jha both were bunking the Aero-India lectures.

So sad....already made a mockry due to that....

Compilation of latest Tejas footages of 2019... I have marked the exact moments. Watch for Tejagasm!

IOC Tejas is doing 180° turns in <7sec, full 360° min-radius-turn <20sec:

Filmed at Aero India 2019.. some short, sharp turns that got edited off most videos:

Although IOC Tejas is limited at 8G, you do see impressive stuff from time to time... 7sec 180° at 0:10, 17sec loop at 0:32:

See impressive (-)G turn at 1:55 & other good maneuvers at 1:10, 2:40, 3:35 & 5:50:

Tejas can be seen making impressively sharp turns from time to time, but not always for some reason... With IOC Tejas the 45th definitely can't do combat sorties.
I think the Flying Daggers should be turned into a dedicated display team for Tejas. Let them train in aggressive stunt flying for airshows!

I prefer not getting soiled with mud when fighting with a three alphabet animal.
Thanks.

Saved the best shit for last... The 17sec vertical-loop at LIMA19 from a better angle!

That doesnt save you from the litter you spread,wasted the times of member are quoting things like "scalability will come in handy" ...shear ignorance and no shame on the subject....

What is Tejas’ status?

“As you probably know, the Tejas began squadron service a few years ago, and the Flying Daggers squadron that flies it is breaking the jets in quite gamely. For all the anticipation and bad blood over years of delays, the squadron has been very pleasantly surprised with the jet. I spent some time with the squadron pilots when I did a back-seat sortie in a Tejas in February. HAL is currently trying to ramp up production to meet the initial order of 40 on the Mk.1. An order for 83 the improved Mk.1A is in the wings, though an actual specimen will likely only begin being tested next year.”

What still needs fixing?
“The Tejas is a nimble, very capable little jet in its class. The thrust, if you will, of the improved Mk.1A will be vastly better (as will) squadron-level maintainability. Even though the baseline Tejas has proven to be far more serviceable than the IAF suspected, the Mk.1A fully addresses the niggles. Several requirements the IAF needs on the Mk.1A have begun being tested. The Mk.1A will be mid-air refuellable, sport an updated internal Radar Warning Receiver (RWR), an external Self Protection Jammer (SPJ) pod and an AESA radar. The IAF has also stipulated that the Tejas Mk.1A needs to be able to fire different types of BVR and close combat air to air missiles. The Tejas has so far fired Vympel R-73 CCMs and a Derby BVR missile. It’ll need to prove itself using the R-77, Python-5 and DRDO Astra too.”

As it stand, is it any good?
“It’s an excellent jet. Apart from the journey to where it is now, I’d believe the men operating it day and night at the squadron in Sulur, and who’ve been tamely taking them abroad and keeping them almost 100% serviceable away from base. The key now is for larger numbers to be inducted faster. HAL has to ramp its production rate up to at least 18-20 a year.”

Forgotten.. I downloaded it a long time ago, can't find it anymore.

An old video @4:00 he said they have launched both Python 5 and Iderby ER from Tejas, not sure what went wrong/

I Derby Has NEZ Of 45 Km For 1m2 Its More than Aim-120C5

Its Has LOAL And ECCM Ability

Lol. They are not there for Aerobatic displays. Its not as if IAF has some spare squadrons to spare for such luxuries. The 45th is involved in study, framing its combat maneuvers and training for both ground crew and its pilots. It will be atbest be an trainer squadron. But its work right now is so important for future squadrons.

In next 3-4 years these fighters will be upgraded to FOC standards. Or atleast an new software update certification for combat operations minus refueling probe.

Lol. Then they wouldn't have been in an airshow!

IOC standard fighters are 6g certified, unless complete overhauling of their airframes is done they may not be able to pull 8.5g.

They can only be effectively use for BVR combat & ground-strikes, after upgradation, not WVR... For airshows, if 2 of the LSP prototypes can be spared that'd be enough.

Python 5 didn't go well . Derby ER will be part of Tejas along with Astra and ASRAAM
