Well in my view LCA Mk2 will be comparable to Gripen NG if not superior and I am sure as a pakistani you will never accept this even though facts will tell you that.
LCA MK2 will most probably get an AESA which will be derived from best of russian/french/israeli and Indian tech same is the case of EW suits and weapons.
Engine will be roughly comparable if not same.
Current LCA MK1 used higher %age of composites which will be more true for Mk2 also.
Then right there the argument is over. You are now trying to hide behind what if semantics rather than the most basic on the ground facts.
The AESA will be this.. and the composites will be that mean ZILCH. The aircraft has NOT yet reached the cutting block nor has the design even been finalized. All that exists is the data from Aero India and the on and off leaks. Based on that.. the Mk.2's picture is built.
