Overweight huh.. bold statements let's analyse it one by one
Are you moron? Army means all forces, not just land forces.
Then what do u call land forces ? Infantry force ? When one reffer to All forces at once one can call it military.. we usually call it defence forces because they are meant to defend.. army means only land force and doesn't include airforce nor navy. U are a moron here. I already warned u avoid inbreeding.
You mean failed Tejas which ended up Less powered / overweight?
Yes Tejas was called a overweight aircraft but when it's it's initial days of development even before ioc it weighed 7.7-7.8 tons. So those articles u have read are right. But u are moron afterall. Todays 40 ordered Tejas mk1 weights 7040kg. This is just ioc and focs..
Current aircraft mk1a of which 180 orders are placed weights weights 6560kg+ 2589kg fuel capacity.. let's see weight of other aircraft in light category jf17 which produced above 150units weight 7950kg +2450kg fuel
Both have 84-85kn engines..
Again gripen C weights 6800kg +2340kg fuel.
It has 79kn variant of f404...
So how is Tejas overweight. It seems u have lost brain power. That's why commenting otherwise some would have checked prior commenting it. Afterall a moron.
The Korean fa50 & Taiwanese f-ck1 almost almost weights 6500kg.
As u can see all light combat aircraft fighters weights almost the same if anything is overweight that's junk jf17..
Any fighter which meet requirements delivered??
Nope
Your Tejas is failed h nice Indian army did not want it. It requested Tejas to have some other features and less weight and meet requirements
Which are those requirements can u tell me ? Which are this features ? Which iaf wanted ?
Now soon mk1A will be delivered. Don't worry but Tejas mk1 fullfills requirement of indian airforce which is replacing mig21s.. mk1a is bridge between mk2. Mk2 is build because light category has inherent size restrictions. Still Tejas is best in LCA category. Mk2 is made to replace mirage 2000, jaguars, mig29s.
As it will be bigger aircraft..
light combat aircraft Tejas mk1A is fulfilling all requirements. It has highest fuel capacity among all the light weight category aircrafts.
It has modern aesa radar from 41st, that too some say is a GaN based anyways. it has whooping 992tr modules 912 are x band and rest are lower frequency modules.. The RWR, jammer whole EW is gallium nitride based. Which LCA category has jammers. It has highest hardpoints among LCA's total of 8. With dual rack pylon 9 for wvr.
It is still the smallest aircraft has 90% composites on surface. Giving least Radar return. Has fly by wire is a unstable.. the jf17 isn't even unstable design so neither it has fly by wire.(Block 3 got it)..
Tejas can carry 7x 500Kg bombs on 3hardpoints at once it's a light combat aircraft, right. It will carry 2x brahmos NG. this is well beyond any LCA can carry...
Now u made tall claims it doesn't fullfill requirements tell me specifically which ?? Or accept u are a moron anyways. I have tried to explain what I can.
Your Tejas,your arjun tank are the laughing stock of all defense guys. Probably you heard arjunk word right!
Lol who is talking. One who is making basic trainers with BAE..
One who just imported whole altay tank from South Korea. Whose all subsystems are imported..
Whose most weapons are knockoff Europeans.. uses all European systems. is telling us..
First go beg Saudis,qataris, habibis to give erdogandu some dollars.. beggars.. no wonder Pakistanis call u brother..keep wasting this money on defense. Make Inflation 100%. Even that will be less as erdogan changed criteria.
We will see turkey begging imf in future...
Beggars who was begging for 'no corridor without turkey, my foot.. cry gal cry
With political decision, Tejas has been ordered.
How many decades passed since project start??
The project's agency was established in 1983 that doesn't mean they started the work as it was first time a true supersonic fighter jet was being designed and build in india..
In 1987 some funds were given to design. work began by 1989 airforce came with its requirement because of which aircrafts design was again began. Which wasted money and time.. by 1991 india was bankrupt had to Begg to imf for dollars. By 1993 the project got funding to make prototype.. prototype by 95 first prototype was ready by 1998 second. Was reading. Also by 1998 indias fly by wire was successfully tested on us f16. We made it in less than 10 years. In 2001 in took off.. The biggest tragedy to LCA was nuclear weapons tests. Which brought whole lot of sanctions on us. Which resulted in big delay.. all western firms left the project never ever returned even after sanctions were removed.. the project was cod for a long time in this period.
By some time airforce came with newer requirements which again stalled the program. As major resigning was needed now..
it was fairly matured with alot of weapons other kinds of tests..
till 2012 usa wasn't ready to sell ge f404 engines. So how will they order it. And how would they increase manufacturing capacity.. after 2012 usa showed interest. And gave f404s.
By 2015 it was inducted/operationalised. So from 1989 designing phase to 2015. It took 25 years..
Go see timelines of gripen eurofighter rafale from first flight to induction. Still india took descent time as a very new consumer.. And it was first aircraft of india which has technologies like RSS(relaxed static stability,unstable design) fly by wire, Indigenously developed composites, homegrown EW etc etc.. which is itself a achievement for a new player.
Since then mk1a was developed which is 50-55% Different than mk1 from inside...
There were many external factors responsible for delaying of this program...
Hope this shed some light in ur worm eaten brain..
And army rejected but ordered after years for political gains? And try to fly new variants of it to satisfy air force?
As I said new variant is bigger it is meant to replace other aircrafts. And not mig21s.
As size increases fuel capacity increase and so is the payload capacity...
And talking about ordering it for political gains let me tell u our forces have nothing to do with politics. Here army doesn't do coup against government.. that's politics is you're armies job..
Lca as light weight category aircrafts fulfilled all requirements. And is most potent LCA right now. So it was never ordered for face saving and. And everyone orders IOCs so was the Tejas ordered back then.. now 83+97 mk1As have been ordered
