Yes it is a best replacement and indigeneous one.

Hawk is not very cheap.

Yes tejas is a level higher.


by complexity

BTA< IJT< AJT (HAWK)< LIFT(TEJAS)

we can skip one step if there is considerable overlap in envelope
we already are skipping IJT, and cant skip two steps IJT & AJT
From BTA to LIFT

Yes

But ideally we should not skip any step.

As per latest tweet, it is to powered by 110 kn twin engines which is under development, Kavari scrapped as a TD.
 
Most likely winner is GE 414 épé or ede

Since there is no RFI only RFP for those engine which are the uprated version of engines that IAF already evaluated.

AMCA wind tunnel testing is being done in USA - s jha

Can we start a sticky thread for AMCA ?
Or do we wait ?

It has to do more with speed and manoeuvrability brackets. So as such the USAF is using the T-6 texan to replace both the T-34 and T-37 going straight to the T-38.
Essentially going from the 100-150 knot - 160-300 knot.. then onto the 300-400 knot bracket before going onto the supersonic trainer regime.

As such the T-6 texan has taken over the first three brackets for the USAF while the latter is done by the T-38 now and will be done by the T-X later. At this point the IAF has multiple aircraft doing different things for different brackets and a lack of coherence in pilot training is visible. All things considered,the IAF needs a supersonic LIFT to move on from the HAWK for which the Tejas is aptly suited.

I see no need for the BTA or IJT. As such the PC-7 can serve both purposes which the hawk can serve both as Jet trainer and AJT.
