Why do we have to sing the song of arrogance again and again? JF-17 is not a 3rd generation fighter. Who says that JF-17 cant use the situational awareness effectively? Why would JF-17 lose in a dog fight? Because you want to?

JF-17 JF-17 JF-17 JF-17 JF-17 JF-17 JF-17 .....Chacha ….Only one question…. Why your all weather friend Chinki Chinese has not inducted this immortal aircraft to his Air force.

TEJAS will make your head spin

Reminded me on this post:

1. Tejas has all the adequete plumbing and attachments for a fixed IFR probe. There have been many images of tejas with a Fixed probe like that on Mirage 2k.

This was what ADA had planned and was supposed to put this feature from PV-3 (or 2) onwards. This was mentioned in AI 05.

These are CAD images from ADA showing the probe and the plumbing arrangement.

2. However, the plan was postponed due to weight and other issues. It was decided that early LSPs will start this process.

Wonder how much weight the fixed probe system add and if they can reduce so much weight to add them on the MK1 when they go to serial production.
The MK1 with IFR capability could be a good escort for our AWACS (with small RCS, BVR missiles, datalink guided by A50 Phalcon).

Some more improvements needed in Tejas for IAF: Antony


Bangalore, Feb 7 (PTI) Defence Minister A K Antony today said some more improvements will have to be incorporated in the home grown Light Combat Aircraft Tejas to meet the requirements of the Indian Air Force. "The Air Force wants some more improvements to be incorporated and I am sure DRDO (Defence Research and Development Organisation) will be able to address these concerns too," he said, inaugurating the eighth edition of Aero India 2011 International Seminar here. Noting that Tejas has often been criticised for long delays, he said in most parts of the world, technological development precedes product development. "However, in case of Tejas, we attempted both at the same time. The reasons are not far to seek. Due to denial of some necessary technologies, we had to find solutions the hard way," he said. Despite all odds, engineers of DRRO and HAL finally handed Tejas over to IAF. Given the technology and time constraints, this has been accomplished in a reasonable time-frame, particularly comparison to other similar class of combat aircraft in the developed world, he said. He said the recent Initial Operation Clearance of Tejas was a "proud moment". Tejas is a system of systems product and it just cannot be developed in isolation or manufactured without help from others", he said. On January 10, India joined a select group of nations manufacturing war planes with 'Tejas', moving a step closer to its induction into the IAF after getting its Initial Operational Clearance (IOC) here.
