Sacho hasn't answered any of my questions still. He is trying hard to paint Kaveri as failed design.
His desperation has increased after successful Kaveri flights. Even IAF has refused Snecma's ec-Core now. GTRE has decided to use Indian core inside Kaveri for AMCA.
After successful flights tests and design validation of Kaveri in Russia, IAF has vetoed Snecma eco-core and has asked GTRE to go ahead with home-grown Kabini core for AMCA engine. Snecma's role in the yet-tobe-signed JV is being reduced further now, as we speak.
Mirage2k in IAF service has a empty weight of 7500kg , if we add 3000kg of fuel and 2500kg of weapons onto it the total weight gets to 13000kg , with maximum trust of 95kn of the TWR comes to 0.73
LC-mk1 has a empty weight of 6500kg adding 3000kg of fuel and 2500kg of weapons the total weight comes at 12000kg , with the maximun thrust of F404IN at 87kn the TWR comes at 0.725.
whereas IAF resonably happy with mirage , the low thrust of LCA mk1 always been tounted...

Well said.
MRCA is purely a waste of taxpayer money. Advantages of LCA far outweighs costs and liabilities of MRCA.
Better scrap MRCA, focus on LCA. And, allow DRDO to pay kickbacks to babus, reporters and politicians.
You can't use MMRCA for point defense role, while LCA is made for this role... AMCA will fill the MMRCA gap when completed...

Which is understandable, when you look at the changes planed for MK2 and keep in mind they are aimed for? It's not the TWR that is bad for LCA MK1, mainly it should be drag that limits the aerodynamical performance and that's why it didn't met all the planed requirements so far. The higher thrust engine is the easiest solution to counter the problems and make it at least as capable as planed.

i guess there is a redesign to solve the drag issues apart from High thrust enginge.. There is a plan to bring down the empty weight also.. Trust me.. MK2 if it comes out... it will be a smallest monster all togther.. with more useful payload and more internal fuel... to say a 1200 litre is going in....
From what we know so far it won't, only aiframe changes are meant to integrate the new engine and additional fuel tanks. I have no doubts about LCA MK2 getting a good fighter, or that it still has good potential, that's why I would love to see our industry and forces to focus more on it and further upgrades (K/S engines with TVC, AESA, passive detection sensors, or a weapon pod), instead of wasting the money for AMCA now.
