Potentially three fundamentally different engines for the same airplane over three blocks?

The GE404, the EJ200 and then at some future date the Kaveri?

IAF Prefers Euro jet EJ200 engines for Tejas Mk-2

BY: IDRW NEWS NETWORK

It has been widely reported in main stream media that Indian air force prefers European Euro jet Ej-200 engines for Tejas Mk-2, main stream media reported that newer core design of the engines and growth potential of the engine in future along with the key transfer of technology to India was decision behind preference of this particular engines.

But sources close to idrw.org have told that IAF was not keen on regular Ge official visits to HAL facilities to check engine conditions in Bangalore, we were told that IAF was keen on GE’s F-414 engines earlier but it soon realized that time taken to integrate this Ge engines with Tejas Mk-2 will be same what Europeans will take , IAF team currently helping and working with ADA and HAL was miffed by denial of Consultation service for Tejas first to speed up its induction and its FOC and later American companies were again denied permission to consult on Naval Tejas Variant by US government , this could be main reason behind IAF becoming pro European in sudden change of heart . for both consultation European EADS makers of Euro Jet and Euro fighters were roped in .

IAF also is working with DRDO to change American engines which will be powering first 40 Engines with locally produced Kaveri engine way before 2018 time frame , IAF has already advised HAL and ADA to not to procure additional Ge engines for Tejas Mk-1 and replace them as soon as Kaveri engine hit production.

How good is tejas in Air-to-Ground/sea mode? what radar and weapons are integrated?

The EL/M-2032 radar used in LSP-3 has a detection and tracking range of up to 150 km in air-to-air mode, the air-to-ground mode generates high resolution radar imagery of locations at up to 150 km, and air-to-sea mode can detect and classify naval targets at ranges of up to 300 km.... Got the Info from Wikipedia

I hope its true. And engagement range matches the detection and tracking range.
From the same source.
To date, Elta Systems has integrated this radar system into F-4, F-5, F-16, Mirage and Mig-21.

Is the range Good enough?

 

[IndianArmy]

I hope its true. And engagement range matches the detection and tracking range.

Well Engagement range for Air to Sea Mode would Not match to that of Tracking Range

befitting reply given to US..... they should be sidelined totally... I sincerely hope MMRCA also doesnt fall in US hands.. they have million markets around the world where they can sell there products.. neither we nor they should have any more concern on this military business

Has LSP 5 flown?? what is the status... it was supposed to fly long back.. if this has not flown.. what is the need for sea trials.. i heard that IAF craft is going to be closer to LSP 5+ series

 

[sancho]

Well Engagement range for Air to Sea Mode would Not match to that of Tracking Range

More interesting should be, which weapons will be available? The LGB that will be developed of course, but what A2G missile and what anti ship missiles if there will be one anyway, because the MKIs and MMRCAs will be better in that role for sure (longer range, more weapon stations and payload...).
