Re: VayuSena Rafale: News and Discussions - 17 Oct 2016
Mirage had indeed influenced a lot of design for Tejas (LCA), and its variants. I am seeing a similar influence of inlet design for Indian MWF-4 (Mirage 4000ish) from Rafale. Something unique about Rafale, and it is near stealth with frontal RCS. AMCA designs will look at it with deep respect. https...

Re: Tejas Mk.1 & Mk.1A: News & Discussions: 23 February 2019
OT, but functionally relevant on Sandeep Unnithan's article above^^^.
Converting MKI to Super 30 will not avoid an AMRAAM, but focusing on purely stealth skins, towed decoys and reducing RCS will. It applies to Tejas/AMCA too.

Is it going from 5 engines to 2 engines or from 4 engines to 2 engines for fine-braking?
q: why shut off 2 or three engines? why can't just adjust the throttle of all 5 firing !? [I read all 5 of them are throttleable - of course the minimum thrust to weight must have been known already.]
