You should compare it with JF-17.

Good news, Tejas in its current configuration and low combat radium is only classified as point defense fighter, Mk2 will be a multi role fighter.

Guys, continue discussing the news here. Just merged three threads on this same news. No point in creating multiple threads.

Veey nice. Technology wise much better than both. Low RCS, much more agile, better bvr and wvr missiles.

MK1 A will out class both by a great margine.

Good news on first day. We got good defensive fighter to fill in the ranks and a stage to walk on further.

This is just a bigining. Mk1A will follow next year. MK 2 by 2024. India will have light and medium weight fighters of her own. If we go for FAGA, we will have all categories of fighters of our own. It will simply be awesome.

You should compare it with JF-17.

PAF jf-17? Those are good enough for Nigeria air force only. No compare whatsoever even Myanmar got the better version and others are asking for blk-3.

This is so exciting news.

JF-17 includes Block 1, Block 2, Block 3, and B version.

LCA and JF-17 both are lightweight fighter aircrafts.

You should compare LCA MK1 with JF-17 Block 2, and LCA MK1A with JF-17 Block 3.

Fire lit below the proverbial DPSU rear is showing fructification.

Sigh ,... 2019.

Another year ...

....... one in many.

and another thread

LCA - Late Coming Aircraft, may just make it this time though!
