Re: Tejas Mk.1 & Mk.1A News & Discussions: 09 February 2018
Tejas took longer to takeoff (too many minutes on the runway, could also be optical illusion in the last few seconds), compared to in Bahrain, where it was airborne is some 8-11 seconds.

I think 1971 averaged 500 sorties per day over 16 days. Sortie rates in the first 3-4 days would have been higher than average. Near the end when there was total air dominance over Bdesh the Army did not need or utilize the guaranteed number of sorties they could have requested.
