This was the reason why IAF Did not order BLK1/2 Equivalents in large numbers.

IAF knew that it has options and it can increase production rate to compensate the shortfalls in longer period.

NO PAIN NO GAIN

Brand new Mark1A maiden flight today

 

[MirageBlue]

That's LA-5039, the 7th Tejas Mk1A to be built. IAF will be able to re-equip No.23 Panthers or the No.3 Cobras with these to replace their Bisons.

How dare you say that ...according to well informed posters we have not inducted any mark1a and will not induct any it's failed project dieing slowly

We haven't inducted them yet. They're being flown and kept ready for the new GE F-404-IN20 engines. Once those arrive, they'll fit them and fly them.

However, given the current scenario it is definitely possible that Category B reserve engines could be pulled out of storage and these Tejas Mk1As could be rushed into service entry.

Yes indeed that is the Tejas Mk2 and that circular thing there is the rotary actuator for the canards. This is the FIRST image of the Tejas Mk2 prototype being built at HAL.

We'll see it roll-out by this Oct-Nov or thereabouts.

No Tejas delivery this month? Must have been too busy elsewhere.

Tejas is the only Indian fighter jet that survived this May War between India and Pakistan. Please don't not consider this jet any inferior.
