There is best explanation on DSI by Gambit, Please read that.
J10B AESA Radar is experimental,
LCA Airframe is good for its role..
Lets not talk about J10B.. Its chinese maal. No one knows the truth about Chinese maal.
It's a PESA radar not AESA because of it's IFF nodes. China bought PESA radar from Russia around early 2000s.
LCA is a Light Combat Fighter, in that role other than Gripen E/F it's the best.
Its actually 25-30 million for blk-I .. 35+ million for Blk-II .. and guess what Blk-I alone is far superior to inferior under development lca ..
Tejas took around 15 years for actual work (designing, construction, testing) to be done. We were making a 4+ Gen fighter for the first time on our own. It took nearly 12 - 15 years to get the necessary industrial capacity together before work could begin. But today it can arguably be said to be the best in it's class (Gripen C/D, JF 17, F16 A/B and early C variants,etc included) due to the some amazing technologies used.
1. HMDS (Dash Helmet Mounted Display Sights)
2. FLIR/ Passive IRST (Litening Pod)
3. Internal MAWS, RWR, systems
4. High Thrust to Weight Ratio 1.07
5. Very Low Wing Loading (50.7 lbs/sqft)
6. All Axis Digital Flight Control System (Quadruplex Redundant)
7. ELTA 2032 Hybrid Multi Mission Radar (150 KM Air to Air range for 3 - 5 msq target, 300 KM for Air to Ground target the size of tank.)
8. Stealth Composites
9. Very Low RCS (0.3 msq)
10. Very Low Cost ($ 26 million only)
JF 17 has only point 10. to call it's own
It's a two seater!
