Clowns do not even realise it's not a one V one comparison anymore.

One is now being used by 4 Air forces and seen combat several times and one has nt even been delivered in it's final version yet.

Utter joke now.

Does he really wanna try to tell us there is slight hope to see something from the first Tejas Mk.2??

You’re thinking of a consideration vs a requirement based on it all hinging on PLM - I would love to see how deck motion, limited landing area, and the arrestor cable system can be replicated.

I'm telling you what the US Navy requirement for the T-45 Goshawk replacement is. As of now, no carrier landing is required.

US Navy survey focuses T-45 replacement land based trainer

US Navy steaming ahead on new trainer

For years, the service has debated whether a future trainer—which would also be used for Marine Corps pilots—must be able to operate from a carrier like the T-45 does. Operational aircraft such as the Lockheed Martin F-35 are capable of autolanding on the ship. An Undergraduate Jet Training System (UJTS) request for information (RFI) released in mid-August provides a compromise: The future trainer would not be designed to go to the ship, but would need to be able to endure repeated unflared landings to practice the carrier flight profile.

This thing could possibly be the missile with longest range after Meteor
