The Indian indigenous Light Combat Aircraft Tejas is as capable of the French Dassault Rafale, Indian Defense Minister said Saturday.

“Our Tejas is having the same qualities as Rafale does. Although Tejas is in light weight category, its range also half compared to Rafale, in terms of avionics, electronics and fire power it is no less than the Rafale,” Manohar Parrikar was quoted by The Hindu based on an interview with All India Radio Saturday.

Parriakar stated that Tejas had similar capabilities although it was in a different class. Talking of measures to improve the squadron strength of the Air Force, he pointed that four to five squadrons of the Tejas will be added in the next three to four years in addition to a few more squadrons of Sukhoi as well as two squadrons of Rafales.

“The first squadron of Tejas will be ready by September-October and it will be flying before Diwali,” the Minister said.

On the selection of another fighter aircraft to be built under the ‘Make-in-India’ initiative, Parrikar said it could be any aircraft and a “decision in this regard will be taken in this financial year".

This figher shall be certainly a very potent fighter in its MK1+ Avatar. 800 KG weight reduction is planned along with 8% aerodynamic improvement. Simply Aerodynamic improvement shall bring 20% hike in trans sonic acceleration. It will have 60 KG higher fuel and 2% higher sea level top speed. T/W ratio shall increase by 13%. Weight carrying shall be 4.2 ton +. It will have Best in class AESA Radar with top class EW.

That means that the Indians don't need the Rafale anymore since the Tejas matches it. Who would waste billions of dollars when you already have such a capability inside your pocket?

 

[war&peace]

Oh I see,.. Again they are planning to cancel the Rafael deal

Why Not For Price of 1 Rafale you can have 3 LCA that's Cost Effective

 

[livingdead]

lol... this guy is known for making ridiculous statements for some time, he is an intelligent man, probably DRDO did some black magic.

 

[Vergennes]

So,cancel buying those rafale from the surrendering cheese-eating monkeys and buy the almighty tejas,the rafale is junk compared to the almighty tejas,one of the almighty tejas is better than 100 rafale junk.

Troll mode off.

 

[EAK]

Current order book says 100 LCA and maybe 36 Rafale. So your wish has already come true

The Indian will claim Western countries loses sleep over the mighty success of LCA ins stealing their market share. US needs to seek permission from DRDO on buying F414 engine from Indian. India is god. Superpuppa power. One LCA can shot down 20 F-22 raptor. The Rest of the World shall bow to India.

Only in Indian's dream. A bunch of Inferior being.
