LCA Tejas at Iron Fist 2013

[janon]

Doesn't look like a "Light Combat Aircraft" from this angle, meaty beast

Look at this picture to realize how tiny they managed to make it. That's the Tejas parked near the navy's sea harriers. Both aircrafts have the same weight. But Tejas seems to be half the size, can carry more payload, and has more hardpoints. The small size and use of composites means a much lighter RCS.

By the way the harriers are no big beasts either. Tejas would be almost negligibly small near an MKI or F-18.

1. Agility
2. Asymmetric loading
3. Griffin LGB drop
4. IR missile launch and target chaff hit
5. Chaff disposal

Thats because tejas is not parallel parked to compare, the angle makes it look tiny....just an observation.

That looks like a Hawk. One can also see, what I think is the White Tigers emblem just behind the nose. So its definitely InAA.

Its a harrier. Look at the air intakes. ALso notice the overall dimensions of the aircraft. Its almost similar to the single seat harriers.
