As has already been pointed out in the other thread the majority of the CAG's criticisms of the LCA are based on 1-2 year old information and have largely been addressed to date and have to be just to meet the FOC standard that the LCA will be awarded by the end of this year.
The MK.2 with increased internal fuel capacity and an IFR probe (that the MK.1 will have also) will be able to address any such range issue even though long range strike missions are not what the LCA is intended to do. For that the IAF is getting the best of the best strike fighters- the Rafale
@waz sir please merge all CAG/LCA threads running right now.
