Naval LCA Tejas

[Roland55]

Look closely at the serials 3001 and 3002 ! both performed landing (and even touch and go)

09:25 the CNS says the plan for Vikrant includes LCA-N, does that mean there is a chance of some production LCA-N being ordered (in very limited numbers) I wonder? Would be weird to mention the NPs as they aren’t IN assets and aren’t combat machines either

Will now Navy order Naval LCA as its main combat role ?

LCA has limitations in payload and endurance to take over the role as Navy's main combat fighter. It can complement Mig-29K to take over Air-Defence of the Carrier group and save some airframe life of Mig-29Ks

Nope, maybe in small numbers for training and limited duties (maybe air to air? as that wont need much payload capability)

Yes in a purely air defence role it would be fine, given that integration with Astra Mk1 and Astra Mk2 is almost done for the Tejas Mk1A. For a carrier training and fleet air defence role, it should be possible to order around 18 Naval LCA jets with IFR and generally at the Tejas Mk1A level avionics wise.
