[QUOTE="CONNAN, post: 1241010, member: 141y]Weapon and Technology: Indian Air Force to Deploy its LCA Tejas fighters at its New Air-Base
Indian Air Force will soon have its first base at Sulur in Tamil Nadu along with a squadron of combat jets . The base will protect strategic installations and maintain Indian air superiority over the Indian Ocean.
Work is rapidly being completed at Sulur on an extended runway, control system, avionics, radar, special hangars and modern radio and navigation aids. These facilities are being built for IAF fighter jets.
Indigenous Tejas fighters will be first to be deployed at Sulur base. These fighters will be inducted in December 2010. Its range can be extended with mid-air refuelling to 1,000 km for enhanced security cover.

Sulur is 400 to 500 kms from the sea shore, do you think IAF want Tmk1a to be safe, and what does it protect from there? What is the flight radius of tejas, in case of emergency what is its role in south India?
