HAL LCA Tejas: Updates, News & Discussions

[SiliconBit (silicon0000)]

Rafales and Tejas are equipped with modern AESA radars, allowing them to detect ground targets and fire long-range air-to-ground missiles like SCALP and BrahMos with surgical precision, all without entering Pakistani airspace. This capability is not present in the Mirage-2000 and Su-30MKI, which have PESA radars and a large RCS.

In the era of long range SOW, both India and Pakistan didn't need to enter other airspace for close border strikes. Even Akcini drone can do that mission. That's not the part of debate neither the only or infact a significant mission of stealth fighter.

Who will have first look first shoot advantage between 5th gen and Rafale (in 1:1 fight)?

Stealth fighter jets are primarily offensive platforms and would be highly effective for Balakot like air strikes.

I think no one will prefer to use 5th gen for the mission which can be done even by drones.


And tell me Who will have first look first shoot advantage between 5th gen and Rafale (in 1:1 fight)?

What is your definition of 5th generation?

If you don't know that then I surely understand why you are debating like this.

I asked a simple question, simply answer it.

Depends on the RCS (Radar Cross Section) of the jet and the capabilities of its radar. Could you specify the RCS values and radar ranges of the particular jets you're referring to?

India can buy F-35, but cannot use it against Pakistan because it’s a very complicated machine that requires US permission to operate. Additionally, it requires infrastructure that India currently lacks. However, if India can reverse-engineer the F-35 after purchasing 20 of them, then it might be worth the investment.

Really? Why do I have once again that strange feeling you are just another alt of a banned member who’s posts exactly the same BS??

The system for this forum does not have an automatic function to check the IPs when a member tries to create a new account if it is not one of an already banned member?

USA is hesitant to supply engines for the Tejas because it will be deployed on the Pakistan border. However, they are also concerned about potentially losing billions of dollars from selling 2,000 engines to India over the next 10-15 years, along with additional revenue from maintenance and upgrades required by HAL.

This has nothing to do with the US Govt, it is a contract signed between GE Aerospace, a listed private entity that has a history of supplying engines to the IAF.

GE Aerospace is facing issues with their supply chain which has been mentioned time and again! So it's getting tiring to see people unnecessarily adding all this masala about geopolitical issues between US and India into the mix.

I simply hope that there was a penalty clause in the contract for GE missing deadlines. But I doubt that it would be enforced anyway given HAL is in negotiations to set up the F-414 assembly line with 80% ToT by value in Bangalore.

Your post about reverse engineering F-35s really reveals a huge disconnect between your understanding of how things work and how they really work. Total fantasy land stuff.

India won't even reverse engineer the Su-30MKI (even though it could) and you're talking about F-35s?

I think if you have even some knowledge then you surely understand both of these for 5th Gen and Rafale case.

Simple question would be are you referring to J-20 as the 5th gen fighter or F-35? Because there's a difference between them.

well do you even have anything close to rafale for that matter ..??

as for fifth gen well its not just a fighter plane that you buy but a full ecosystem and its diffrent ball game to train and mantain a 3rd/F16 A/B& Mirage or a 4th or even a 4.5 gen

but even if you some how get them where will you get money to train and antain them when you cant even buy 8 F16 BLK52 on market price ????
