LCA taking off with Missles/drop tanks/loaded

Hay nice pics. I specially like the one taken from human eye level.

Can somebody tell me how is Tejas a 4.5 Gen fighter plane? Not to offend you guys but just to understand what is special about Tejas that makes it 4 and then 4.5 Gen fighter plane? Even with the help of China, we are only able to make 4 Gen fighter.. or perhaps it is not even 4th Gen to many Indian counterparts over here. Whats the fact on ground?

Read one of my older posts for that answer
