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.

ASRAAM seen on Tejas Mk1A for the first time. Neat pylon. This is the CCM that will replace the R-73E.

Alpha Tocol handed over the first rear fuselage module of the Tejas Mk1A to HAL in the presence of the RM. Central and forward fuselage as well as wings are also to be built by other private sector companies including Dynamatics, L&T and VEM Tech.

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.

Astra Mk1 test fired successfully from a Tejas Mk1, achieving a direct hit on the flying target. This paves the way for the induction of the Tejas Mk1A

With Astra Tejas has first shot advantage over entire PAF fleet except J-10C.

Not until Astra Mk2.

Not until Astra Mk2.

We have something better in the making @Tejas Spokesman



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

Tejas Mk1A prototype (Tejas Mk1 to which Mk1A avionics were added for flight testing) LA-5021 and the final Tejas trainer LT-5208 from the batch of 8 that was ordered by the IAF. Now the trainers that are being built are from the 10 trainers that were ordered alongside 73 single seat Tejas Mk1A fighters.
