Tejas with radar jammer flies maiden sortie

[Superboy]

Isn't the JF17 a stable design?!

It's not. JF-17 is unstable in 1 axis, requiring digital FBW. F-5 was stable in all 3 axis whereas F-20 was unstable in 1 axis.

The Cobham quartz radome has delayed the FOC

Any way the DAY the DERBY BVR missile is fired
ALL comparisions with JF 17 will come to an end

From PKS.

TRISHUL: October 2013

still not sufficient data is their to discuss about it's jamming tech
whether it is based on DRFM jamming or not
band designation of it jamming capabilty

RWR tech is having inferometers or not
all those things need to known for more understanding

CHEERS

Why we comparing F-16 with LCA?

Because the member i quoted had earlier stated that F-16 is limited to 25 degree AoA compared with LCA's 26 degree AoA.

Genius.

And the Tejas has a better ITR.
Plus point for Deltas...

Yes, but what happens after that initial turn is what matters.....in close air combat you are dead if you cannot gain your speed back quickly.

Tejas is a delta winged fighter so its STR would be lower but ITR would be greater than comparable aircraft

I know and i agree with that, except what i am interested in knowing is how good is Tejas at reclaiming it's lost energy back during a STR after the initial IT.......... for example JF-17 pilots have stated that JF-17 doesn't lose as much energy as F-16....and F-16 is already very very good at conserving the speed.......so it would be interesting to know that while Tejas can pull a higher ITR.....what does it do after that?

Also, no one answered my earlier query regarding the MAWS on Tejas....which states it's operating altitude as sea level to 6 km......

What happened to Astra?

 

[a.kumar]

Buzz is that EW package was actually developed for MK-2 .

What happened to Astra?

Astra will enter service first with Su-30MKi and Derby will be main BVRAAM till Astra Joins .

And JF-17 has already fired dual-mode SD-10 A. What's your point ?

 

[kaku1]

Can you please provide video for that?

links please??

 

[Stephen Cohen]

[Superboy]

Can you please provide video for that?

JF-17 has SD-10 because that goes with KLJ-10 fire control radar.

Can you please provide video for that?

3:50 onwards

So nothing substantial to add ?

Well tejas radar have hybrid of elta 2032 which is compatible with many western Bvrs and also include Russian ones aswell like R-73 & R-77
