S. Korea begins production of KF-21 fighter jet

[Pataliputra]

Your comparing a flying plane in production from one of the most advanced countries in the world with something that is on a drawing board or in model form at HAL? Seriously?

KF-21 can be compared to Tejas and Rafale as well. I don't know the RCS of the KF-21, but if you have the data, you can compare them. Moreover, KF-21 is more prone to American sanctions than Tejas because it has many components imported from the US, and US was actively involved in its development. The even worse part is that South Korea is essentially an extension of the US, lacking an independent foreign policy like India and China.

Politics aside, F-21 is a generation ahead of Tejas in almost very possible aspect

KF-21 will still take 10-12 years to become fully operational and will remain a fourth-generation fighter jet. In contrast, Tejas MK1 block has been in service for the past 12 years and Tejas MK1A, an upgraded, mature, and refined version of Tejas MK1 is a battle-ready platform

Sorry, your posts no longer reflect any sense of reality or truth. Tejas is only operation in 2 sqds and in its early version IAF are not happy with.

In now way can Tejas be described as battle ready yet.

Going by past performance, Koreans will be racing past India with F-21. Just look at where Korean military industry is in general compared to India, it is no comparison

Korean Military is extension of US Millitary and IAF wouldn't order 180 Tejas MK1A if they weren't happy with it and they won't stop at 180 more orders will come in future

So Korean K-9 SPH that India imported is extension of US military?

better you stop posting or you will expose your lack of knowledge even more...

Guys stop comparing the Tejas with Korean F21.
The Tejas is at best single engined light 4th generation fighter...
The K21 is a medium.weight late 4th generation fighter with potential to transcend into 5th generation fighter..

It's this potential to transcend to fifth generation that excites me
South Korea has the technology to build a great product but I do agree they are attached to USA womb and on second thoughts for India that maybe issue to look at K21 as alternative to Rafale F5

TBF I think the Rafale F5 would eat the current K21 for breakfast
