Firstly you seriously need to study Tejas.
Secondly there is no Tejas R&D program, its LCA. Tejas is only IAF specified version of MK1. The R&D program is LCA. Ever you heard Navy using word "Tejas".
Thirdly, there is huge difference of R&D infrastructure in India & Pakistan, if you still...
I dont need to, because whole thread is based on a bull crap.
Like vertical takeoff ( with no payload & only with 15 min of fuel) , which doesnt matter in operational capability, but on how much distance an aircraft able to lift off.
So able to deployed on futuristic FOB cum ALG (made of tar).
So, are u accepting that LCA need 12 sec & JF-17 need 20 sec. And need lower runway? And thats why LCA variant was developed?
Are you impressed with LCA capabilities? :rofl:
BTW, for the sake of your knowledge, as I know u dont know anything about word operational capability.
NO, NO aircraft...
We are actually.
There is something known as realpolitik, there is nothing as professing peace, and if you doing so than we are cowards and falling in Pakistans bluff.
We need to accept some realities for cure.
Obviously China buying because it has a J-11 which is equipped with a jet engine with high TTSL, obviously that plane have a pretty decent service record.
And amazingly it equipped with AESA radar.
WTF was that. :rofl:
India never in history even forced diplomatically or considered Deigo Garcia as militaristic threat to South India.
Neither US, UK forces considered India as threat to them.
Turkey is a NATO member.
And legally it have access to all western technologies, which China not able to get since 1989.
So, yes they are ahead of China, hell even Israel is ahead in military R&D programs.
Which understatement, describe?
That LCA R&D program is going on from 30 years?, when Lockheed Martin only able to train ADA's Scientist & Engineers in FBW by 1997?
