It could be part of a planned deployment to a forward air base. Such an exercise would reveal any shortcomings at the airbase or in the fighter or the squadron that is part of the deployment. But nevertheless it's a good sign to see No.18 Squadron pilots and Tejas Mk1s forward deployed.

Re: Air Force Tejas Mk1: News & Discussions: 02 January 2022
I think some of us are making a rather big issue of seeing Tejas at Awantipora
I remember that many, many years ago ACM Major had said in a press confeence/release that IAF plans to have system such that any combat aircraft could be based in any air base. This probably means that the necessary spares etc are stocked in every base
Haven't we seen pics of SU 30MKI at Gwalior or M200 at different AFBs

Re: Air Force Tejas Mk1: News & Discussions: 02 January 2022
It's unclear if that is referencing pre-positioning of weapons, ammo, fuel, maintenance equipment , spares etc or just the ability to move and deploy them at some notice. The latter seems more likely as just prepositioning can leave those stores to rot or be expensive inventory sitting elsewhere, causing logistics issues.
It will also mean upgrading those airfield for navigation and communication and conversely the aircraft also to have those.
Oh and protection, both active and hardened shelters of relevant sizes.
---------
For illustration. Rand suggests one time costs of re-basing can be similar order of magnitude to upgrading training ranges.
And below talks of issues in deployment and dispersal
https://www.airandspaceforces.com/dispe ... ategy-ace/
or instance, the service needs to refine its prepositioning of materiel—the weapons, ammunition, fuel, and maintenance equipment needed to generate air sorties from austere bases. Base protection is also increasingly important, running the gamut from passive measures such as hardened aircraft shelters, camouflage, concealment, and deception, to active air defenses such as PATRIOT systems or other surface-to-air missiles. Rapid runway repair capabilities will also be needed to reconstitute damaged airfields.
“To be successful we need to have the right amount of prepositioned materiel, at the right scalability, so that it is available or arrives in time to meet the need, but not overdoing it to the point that it rots in the tough climate and environment that we face in the Indo-Pacific,” said Birch. “Base protection is also imperative, and it can take many forms. At the same time, being a target isn’t our main focus. Rather, the focus is getting our airpower off the ground in a way that is lethal.”
The model of dispersed basing dictated by ACE also puts added strain on command-and-control, logistics, and manpower. In each arena, the challenges of working in an austere environment will be greatly magnified in a time of conflict.
“When you think about having to operate in an austere environment where you don’t have a lot of the infrastructure and support associated with a main operating base, and then consider how that looks in a ‘contested’ or even ‘denied’ scenario, it can become really challenging,” said Ryan Bunge, the general manager for resilient networking and autonomous solutions at Collins Aerospace. “If you think of what the first nights of a conflict might look like, an expeditionary commander’s ability to pop up on the command-and-control network and get an intelligence update or a new air tasking order might be impaired. To help the Air Force meet that challenge, we’re looking at providing more resilient connectivity.”
Such resiliency could be offered by commercial and military satellite communications systems, or even high-frequency radio enabled by digital mesh networking.

I want to know if SPICE 500 is yet to be integrated. Reports said India has stocks of this version in addition to the SPICE 2000

Re: Air Force Tejas Mk1: News & Discussions: 02 January 2022
Also for any experts, what is the reason for the delay in integrating Astra on Tejas Mk1?
Is it avionics and/or flight dynamics?

Or am I seeing something and assuming something!?
Re: Air Force Tejas Mk1: News & Discussions: 02 January 2022
Yes it is.
Can someone tweet to the clown who said that LCA has received so and so concessions. Concessions that the enemies will not give it.

That would be useless. One can't even make Prof. D see reason through proofs. Twitteratis hardly are there to learn.

This pylon + adapter + launcher solution for Astra is a pain.
Can't wait for proper solution for it.

What a hard long sweaty bloody toil it has been. Hats off to all those who never gave up. We have a great wealth of experience, test data, procedures and what doesnt work.
