well there are 18 prototypes of Tejas has already made and in testing and unlike JF-Tejas is tested to take off and land on very short runways in any kind of weather and day and night oprations on any altitude air base from south(goa) to north (J&K & leh) to west/ jaiselmer to east/bagdograThe only difference will be that JF-17 will be in air with all these equipment with all working components not like tejas...
Hmmm...
and tejas has already dome more than 3000 flight hours without a single mishap and if thats not flight worthy and experience nothing is .... so come out of your dream Tejas has already achived IOC2 and is slated firmly to get FOC status by the end of this calender year
so do Grippen or SAAB have there own swedish made AESA-GaN based radar and avionicks on Grippen NG or they are getting it from some other nation ?The cost of Gripen E to the Swedish Air Force is estimated to about $70M per plane.
You don't know when an LCA Mk 2 is available.
Some other aircraft have longer range/loitering time, which might be overkill for a MiG-21 replacement.
Because Meteor is better, perhaps...
Because second hand Mirage 2000 lacks most things available in state of the art aircraft.
So you prefer a naval fighter with an outdated engine?
Read the title of the thread, GaN AESA.
Russian missiles rarely hit, so You have to fire salvoes. Not equivalent to Meteor.
Tejas with EL2052 (GaN Based ) AESA radar & Combined EW-ECM suites gonna cost 30million dollars and is as good as Grippen so why will india go for Grippen ... at that price USA is offering fully loaded F16V to india so why not F16V for IAF
as for Meteor well we already have I Derby ER and develpong Astra which are at least 1/3rd of price of a Meteor and with Rafale we are already going to get Meteor as its made by MBDA not SAB and it can even in future we intigrated in Tejas
