after spending big sums on Israel for LCA-MMR [elta], why waste again integrating with Russian Zhuk., when LCA-MMR would be ready to FCR russian missiles as well.
That makes a point, no doubt.

Re: LCA news and discussion

I guess, it's Elta 2052 (and not 2032).
Elta 2052 is AESA radar.
Tejas Mk-1 will be using Elta 2032, (so without AESA).
We will probably see Elta 2052 or Russian Zuke-AE AESA on Tejas MK-2.

Let's attribute this to some Chankian moves by the hanud scientists. They have taken help from the yahuds and rassuds and made worlds most powerful engine at cheapest cost. After this the engine will have 110kn thrust while the weight will be only 1/2 tonne.
