To me they look like 250 lb bomb like 250 pound SAP Mk 5 Aerial Bomb | Australian War Memorial so total 1000 lbs, I may be wrong :)

Thanks for the answer, but my understanding is based on article - Broadsword: The Tejas LCA: improving performance with the current F-404 engine Here Mr. Shukla does not consider R73E as part of ordinance i.e. 3.5T. 2. Reduction of Tejas' weight. The LCA’s designers say that the removal of...

Sorry for the typo, question is 9800 + 3500 = 13300 is more than 13000 KG which is MTOW.

LCA brochure says Empty weight is 9800 Kgs and MTOW is 13000 Kgs and also the 3500 Kg ordinance... Somehow its not adding up. Also Envelope is is expanded to 24 deg. but from other sources it says 22 Deg?

I am not completely sure about this, Somewhere I read: In olden days SATI started due to the loss at war. i.e. the army which won the war used to take away the fallen one's women therefore these women thought dieing along with husband was honorable/better than becoming like Pros. Things seems...

"Astra is still in development and something tells me that the seeker will be pretty close to derby/P4... " Are we not using AGAT seeker of R77 for Astra?

So only 4 ACs will be delivered instead of 8 as mentioned in Business standard article. Tejas LCA sprints towards IAF's frontline squadron | Business Standard

If they can put the same kind of pressure till End of 2014 for FOC then we can expect some good progress. Anyway congrats to ADA and IAF.

I think its R-73E again along with HMD support on a live target. Waiting eagerly for Radar guided trails to happen ( Derby with 2032).

LSP 5 or LSP4 LSP8 I do not think there are any visible differences, Can any one find any?

The 5th Generation Is Cursed Not sure if already posted. Interesting as it shows what Russia is offering and what india is looking for.

Well I got confused with this sentence -- it says vayu adhyaksh aur raksha mantri tejas ko aaj vayu sena me shamil karenge... Which means I think means getting inducted today :) I think you are right the stupid anchor had no clue what she is talking about.

Latest News Video : India`s 1st LCA `Tejas` joins IAF My hindi is not so good ( even though I did my schooling in Delhi), Does this mean that IOC2 is Done?

RIP

The current paint job is with the nano paint ( Radar absorbing paint) which was developed for T-50? In fact there was some video on robotic arm for painting purpose ( to get even layer I believe).

I have a question, Why IN is not looking for nuclear propulsion for IAC2, I believe the one on Arihant can be tweaked ( slightly bigger) to generate the required energy? Is this feasible? or IN not confident about nuclear prop for now? Tx
