Can we really compare Tejas and JF 17 ??? By Indian Aerospace/Defense News

[Zarvan]

Now among these two aircrafts it is very difficult to comment which one is better, as these aircrafts don’t belong to the same category. In terms of development, India’s LCA offers something new to the world, new design, new weapons, new systems and, in future, a new engine. While LCA was never made to be India’s Sukhoi but it does gives the platform to India for further modification and development of new projects Whereas Pakistan’s JF-17 is a modification of many previous technologies.

LCA program was started in 1983, whereas JF-17 program was started in 1989 as Chengdu F-7, which was later changed to Fighter China project in 1991. In 1995 Pakistan reportedly joined the project.

Though China has kept development and production of JF-17 on for delivering them to Pakistan and my be to other countries, it prefers J-10 fighters over JF-17 for its own airforce.

Both LCA and JF-17 are 4th generation fighter aircraft, but advanced composite frames and high tech electronics/avionics made international expert call LCA-Tejas a 4.5 Gen aircraft during Aero India 2010, in Bangalore.

While JF-17s are very much needed to serve depleting Pakistani Air Force as a main fighter along with F-16s, LCA is mainly a research project India has carried through these years. LCA was never made to compare with Sukhois, but it has faired very well on international level and now India has a platform and can develop more aircrafts on this platform as the plan of AMCA (Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft, an indigenous 5th gen stealth fighter) has already been cleared by the government.

While India has achieved self reliance in Air Fighter technology, Pakistan has achieved an experience of working in joint venture. It is the first major project of Pakistan with an international joint venture. India has previously worked with Russia in a partnership on development of world’s only supersonic cruise missile, Brahmos. Presently, India and Russia are also working on the development of 5th generation fighter aircraft PAK-FA, in a move to regain the air dominance which was taken over by the americans with their 5th gen F-22 which outsmarted Sukhoi 30 MKI, also a product of Indo-Russian partnership. India and France are also working on Surface to Air Missile “Maitri” project.

Specs - JF-17 - LCA - MiG21 Bison
Empty Weight kg- 6586 - 6560 - 5500kgs
Speed - 1.6 - 1.6 - 2.1
G rating - 8 - 6 - 8.5
Angle of attack max - ? - 24 - 19
Radar range for 5m2 - 85km - ? - 75km
Number of BVR missiles can carry - 2 - 0 - 4

LCA is still in development phase. Speed increase to 1.8 and G rating to 8, and Number of BVR missiles to 4 are the targets to achieve. Will they achieve their targets? Your guess is good as mine.

Edit: Taken out AoA 22 degrees. 24 degrees achieved!

The data is not outdated. When did they reach their targets?

g rating is +8 now and AoA has reached 26 degrees.

LCA can carry BVR missiles ..problem is the testing which won't happen unless we get delivery of quartz radomes.

Link?

That Saurav Jha is a Bharat-Rakshak fanboy. Where is his reference that it has achieved 26 degrees? There is a lot of "uncle-aunty in ADA HAL IAF DRDO" sources in that forum which is taken as fact.

And the brochure, is typical bullshit. You can see clearly that's the target which they are going to achieve, not achieved. for example you can see the BVR missile loadout configuration but LCA has not yet carried or fired a single BVR missile to date.

Edit: Hmm.ok 24 degrees has been achieved from the IOC link. That's cool.
