World has moved on. in the 1990s and early 2000s this would have been big news. Your 2000 late.

Nah. The main adversary has only a few dozen fighters that are more advanced than Mk1. That's what matters.

Take care.

That's the only saving grace. Rest is plane Ddisaster

Meh.
It's big news for any nation that has actually made a plane from scratch, ones who haven't won't know what that achievement feels like.

LCA tejas is certified for 100 knot speed. Earlier the same was planned for 120 knot. This is the strength of aircraft. Ability to fly at 100 knot is phenomenal and very few aircraft in the world can do this. if spedd goes bellow 100 knot, software will take over the control of the aircraft stabilize it and give control back to pilot. This test exactly is pending for FOC certification. Nobody will read any such things for substandard Chinese fighters. They are never made to put in such rigorous trials. Nobody will ever hear such tests as a part of FOC for any chinese fighters.

Envelop of tejas opened for 8.5 g with more scope of improvement of opening it further.

What we need now is just few aerodynamic tweaks and some weight reduction. This plane is going to be the most lethal plane in its class. This one is a true multi role fighter with great weight carrying and many state of art goodies.

a very small class....
JF17. I don't see other so light plane.

Air Marshal Raghunath Nambiar, Air Officer Commanding in Chief of IAF Eastern Command confirms via tweet that the 9 Tejas fielded during Op. Gaganshakti apart from having superb serviceability had the best range scores.

No.... I was just stating facts... The Tejas has a few teathing problems....Weapon delivery accuracy is thankfully NOT one of them!.. I'm proud to be the oldest serving member of Team Tejas!

12 planes is barely enough for 1 squadron. By US standard, LCA has yet to achieve IOC because US standard requires a full squadron before a plane can be declared IOC. JF-17 achieved a full squadron by February 2010.

IOC and FOC for us isn't numbers(quantity) but capability(quality).
We could have easily inducted Tejas in large numbers like pak did with JF-17, before granting IOC or FOC, but IAF has higher standards for its aircrafts and would only accept the best.

Hence, Tejas achieved both IOC-1 & IOC-2 long time back.
Tejas Mk1 is on the cusp of achieving FOC.
As per the very strict QRs of IAF, Tejas needs to achieve certain capabilities before induction and it cannot be deferred to future iterations, which is why even the initial variants of Tejas has an RSS Quadruplex fly by wire and HMD/S whereas JF-17 doesn't and will only get in its Block 3.

I suggest you go through this particular thread itself before prematurely evaluating Tejas.

best range versus what?
Tejas is not know to have a great range as studied as a point defense plane.

Gripen.

Gripen C, probably.
Gripen E is heavier.

Public domain radii of all fighters are a bunch of nonsense, for various reasons.

But the range mentioned here is the bombing range, where Tejas has shown impressive accuracy.
