Yes. Turn radius of 350 meters(1150 feet) at 160 knots(300 kmph) in 16 seconds. One of the best performance around the world I say.( Su-27 reportedly did in 14 seconds in an airshow i think)

Just after take off at 01:57 minute onward, as soon as Tejas left the ground its nose suddenly pitched down and then rose up. Was it flying against the wind or its something normal and with in flight profile? Has it got something to do with angle of attack? Experts plz.

also the short takeoff was amazing on the first day. is it me or its short take off is even shorter to that of F-16 and gripen??

I found this graph to very predictive in actual combat scenario. can someone rate tejas in this graph?

In STR it will be between F-16 and Su-27 while for ITR, its between Su-27 and Su-35

Great

with such a nice short take off & landing it can easily use highway network and forward bases (especially in the Himalayas)
