IAF to give its Tejas jets the Meteor missile edge

[Trango Towers]

Photoshopped video?

I can't really help you if are willing to even deny the obvious.

Day 2 performance.

The actual range of Meteor though is classified it is speculated that it ranges from 100-300km; owing to its revolutionary ramjet propulsion.
A proper explanation here:

However a range of a missile can be a deceptive figure.
Meteor's no escape zone(the more proper indicator of an AAM's kinematic performance) is said to be several times that of current AMRAAMs.

Mate I wish India drop all imported crap like the Rafael and the mki and just inducts a 1000 tejas. What do u think. It's a superb aircraft. I don't understand why the airforce is reluctant to take it in numbers. The idiots in the airforce don't know Jack compared to experts like you. Don't you agree

You can stick to the etymology of words in the English language while we deal with more important things and increase indigenous content of Tejas every year.

so after 33+ years you have 61% home grown content which includes flight testing?... where you expecting to put foreign monkeys in it or some thing? ...lol

in after 50+ years you will achieve 75% and after another 30 years you will achieve 100%...

congrats!

That's just stupid.
Why would you only have one type of aircraft, especially for an air force as big as the IAF?

I understand your black or white approach to things but it's simply not so, Tejas has its advantages and it is a perfect fit for IAF but it is not comparable to MKI or Rafale especially when you consider what both those fighters bring to the table, that's just fact.

Besides who said Tejas won't be inducted in large numbers.

You mean the same airshow that was soooo unknown that PAF wanted to fly the JF-17 in it, paid the fees, proclaimed the names of its pilots participating in it proudly on their website but quit when Tejas too at the 11th hour was also about to perform?

RE: says who?.. this is false

dont cite a silly indian media site...

knowing PAF they would love to be there put the indians in their place. PAF are aggressive and never shy away from a fight.. that bahrain show was unimpressive.. not one single order placed for LCA. JF-17 has orders.

indians with their timid and cowardice nature declined to show up in any airshow,i.e. Dubai, Paris etc

Still better than doing paint job (that too in part time) and calling a fighter homegrown. First go and make nut bolts for motorcycle and then talk about fighter planes.

RE: srewing nuts and bolts on a motorcycle is a skill?


but i agree indians excel in screwing things.

Pakistani Level reached

that was a DRDO engineer in his paint shop.

You are two years too late to start this all over again.

Don't just blatantly deny something without doing an ounce of homework; do seach for the threads related to BIAS 2016, it is very much true, infact the first news of BIAS-2016 was from pakistani sources saying that JF-17 would perform.
Pakistani members were all excited at the prospect of a JF-17 vs Tejas showdown until PAF withdrew at the very last second without any explanation while Tejas went ahead.

From the BIAS-2016 website before PAF quit.

Orders?
Tejas is not even cleared for exports, why would anyone order it, make some sense will you.

Says who, you? Being hyperbolic is fine and all but don't confuse hope with reality.

We all know it's pakistani fanbois' dire hope to see Tejas' progress be laggard but it simply isn't the case.
Just like more sensible pakistani pdfians who only a few years back used to say Tejas won't achieve IOC and it did, and then Tejas won't ever be inducted and then it did again, this time too you lot will be disappointed.

The indigenous content was barely 20% not even a decade ago and now its upto 60%, you lot might be in for a rude awakening if you think it's going to take 30 years.

Dont quote people who have 0 defence knowledge.
Maybe tejas is shit....argue and prove with facts rather than making silly assumptions.

So it's n9 com0rable to Rafael and mki th3n why the hell do u Indians jump up and down like m9nkeys claiming your banana is the world beating stealth inclusive fighter.
Call it what it is. A third class fighterbthat your airforce doesn't want and is forced to take. A fighter that's not at all indigenous yet you Indian have done some work on it.
If it works then fine. But when your claims are stupid the world will make fun of you

Jf17 is designed by Pakistan and China for PAF. It's a good agile little fighter that suits our needs. It's by no means a world beater but it's not that bad either and it's certainly not indigenous.

Quite the contrary we have never claimed Tejas is world beating or better than certain fighters that are obviously better than it. Never. You are obviously just assuming we did.

I have seen many a thread on the JF-17 subfora of pakistanis cheering a hitherto unintegrated subsystem in the JFT, or stealth(oh yes, you might wanna check the umpteen different threads on an imaginary stealth JFT), but the moment Indians post a single thread about Tejas having stealth characteristics, nope pakistanis can't handle that.
And it is not even far fetched or a lie coz the Tejas does use radar-absorbent material coatings and composites to reduce its radar cross section.

And can you lot stop it with that IAF was forced to induct Tejas nonsense, coz it is oh so obviously disingenuous and blasé.
When a couple of years ago IAF was not inducting the Tejas, and were vocal about it, pakistanis were all but ready to believe unequivocally what IAF had said but now when IAF has come out and said that they believe in the Tejas and would induct 324 of it, suddenly pakistanis believe they were forced into it?
You know what that's called? Confirmation bias.

I am not gonna get into who said what as no one wins.
324.....nice....double it and add another 324 and we in Pakistan will be very pleased
