Do not forget the CAS missions. I do not think all CAS aircraft/Unmanned drones will operate under full air superiority in most of the war. Can't send expensive MKI, Rafale for CAS missions. Need a low cost decent multi role jets for such missions.
Tejas will not make a good CAS air craft either, as it is too fast like the F-16 which also is not a good CAS air craft. For CAS you need, sustained low speed,low altitude flying capability, extended loiter time, strong fuselage able to take AAA and agility which Tejas doesn't have at low altitudes.
