If Tejas platform can deliver all this we have no reason to buy a medium weight fighter and nor do we need to start work on Medium Combat Aircraft! Although we have come far, I would still not like to have an Indian product that needs more work to be inducted into service! These aircrafts are serio...

May be wrong but I think what he is saying is: MRCA was a necessity when the Tejas was delayed, but now that they are being rolled out at the end of the year, what is the need for the MMRCA? Yes I agree, it was a necessity back then and was meant to be a quick purchase of medium weight multi role f...

Great, makes sense to me! Point Air Defence, CAS, CAP, Air Interdiction and SEAD! Perfect! If this works out, it will be great! "So as I see it Tejas connot afford to be a failure." - Again great, I would not like to see my tax money be wasted either. Lets all write a petition to HAL abou...

Tejas will get a AESA eventually but not now, only when the technology becomes more affordable! Now AESA is very expensive, my guess is $5m+ a piece. That has to be complemented with BVR missiles like the Astra, which makes it even more expensive. It makes no sense to put something so expensive on ...

I guess, it's Elta 2052 (and not 2032). Asit sir, as far as I know through my readings on BRF the radar that will be integrated first on LCA MK1 for initial opterational clearence will either be a hybrid of our MMR and Elta's 2032, or would entirely be the 2032. Elta's 2052 would in all probability...

CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT RADAR the first 40 LCA MARK 1 WILL HAVE? will it be el/m-2032 or mmr with el/m-2052 aesa front end I can't say for sure, but I guess it would be a hybrid radar with air to air modes of mmr while air to ground modes of elta's 2032 radar. So it would be hybrid between our mmr...

I've voted for Dassault Raffale. It meets the original criteria of the competition to have an advanced technology multirole fighter, is not Russian (overreliance), is of a new design but has been used in war time scenarios, past experience with Mirage has been great, and is also sanction proof. Just...

Sorry moderators. Please delete the new post i have created by mistake. I wanted to post that as a reply on the LCA thread but mistakingly created a new thread sorry.
