Well the range could be for ground launched for interception at 16 km altitude, also it employs TVC so the fuel wasted in maneuver using only fins will be reduced, added to that it's longer.Yeah , defence matrix said it might be wrong because astra mk1 is just 110-120km range missile of sea level it's hard to believe 80km range..
Also astra mk1 from sea level has range of 21km from 8km altitude 44km and from 16km altitude 110km range is achieved..
Correct me if I'm wrong
Well, rocket propells for few seconds after that it guides itself by kinetic energy.Well the range could be for ground launched for interception at 16 km altitude, also it employs TVC so the fuel wasted in maneuver using only fins will be reduced, added to that it's longer.
Vertical Launch – Short Range Surface to Air MissileVlsrsam range is written 80 km in PIB, interesting.

No worries, IN can buy CAMM from BEL
mk1A weights 6560kg (510kg has been reduced compared to mk1, 7070kg)Lol kuch
Lol, kuch bhi. The current Tejas weight is 6.6 tons empty and it can carry 2500 kgs of fuel and 4000 kgs weapons payload, thus a total of 6.5k tons payload(fuel and weapons).
So Ajai Shukla is saying, 1.1k tons will be shaved off and the 5.5 tons fighter would carry 6.5k tons payload? Lol, byeee physics!
PS - I would be happy if they can shave of even 300 kgs. Can help with the TW ratio.
SAAB's brochure says C/D variant can carry 1300 kgthe heaviest bomb gripen C/D can carry is 241kg.
I did not mean by weight capacity I mean that Tejas can carry 7x500kg bomb whereas gripen has 16x129kg ,4x230kg and max 8x241kg bombs even with more numbers it won't match tejas's bomb weight load. Tejas has very diverse bomb loads and multiple standoff weapons..SAAB's brochure says C/D variant can carry 1300 kgstealthmissile- Taurus

Tejas is delivering this at around 2/3rd the costs of gripen. Or even less..SAAB's brochure says C/D variant can carry 1300 kgstealthmissile- Taurus
