    Well they are inducting her as it is with nominal changes. No time for rearrangement and subsequent testing, may be in Mk 2. For second part of your reply space saved will be consumed by these installations (as you mentioned) and hence problem will persist.

    HAL Tejas | Updates, News & Discussions-[Thread 2]

    If you do some research on how many reports says over weight+ low fuel + drag vs those reports that deny these issues and include official IAF statements and coupled with fact that LCA is a meter short in length (than the others) and have to pack all the electronic equipment in tight airframe +...

    IAF wants aerial refuelling, jammers, quick turnaround in new Tejas from another thread says fuel cap is 2300 liters not Kilograms which translate into 1.8 ton. so range is low because of low fuel cap. an is not outcome of propaganda.

    Looking at its trust to weight ratio and range i think its margenly better than mig-21. Both lack endurance. Radar range currently are equal. India should get mig-29 as mig-21 replacement. Its economical and licence production can also be negosiated.

    Concept of this age is miltiroll aircrafts. Point defence with mig-21 type jet is thing of past. As for close CAS this plane does not have rough air feild capability which mean it has to take off from well maintained airbase which are not and should not be closeby (for china and pak). LCA rang...

    Comparing same class of fighter jet only LCA is odd one range wise jft and gripen validate each other. I think LCA is short in leanth then other two which is probably why. But then again why staggering weight.

    Above F-16 combat radius is with no drop tank or com. Fuel tank and loaded with weapons. F16 has lot of hard points for both. While ferry range is 4200 km with drop tanks. It does not match with LCA any how. Irrelevant.

    HAL Tejas | Updates, News & Discussions-[Thread 2]

    i didn't miss that it is forced upon IAF. Theory discussed is that IAF love foreign mall and is resisting Hundreds of LCA and instead demanding 40 Rafale for IAF or both (LCA+Rafale). It’s too low of view to criticize IAF even when they are giving rational for their resistance. After all they...

    then why 500Km combat radius and why IAF says too shot range and wont accept it in service? Published material on LCA is proven wrong many time it could be the case again? anyhow i cannot provide any link to support my claim.

    hint is combate radius of 500km, because combate radius is absolutely dependant on internal fuel capacity which is said to be no more than 1.8 to 2 ton max (i think its even less than that). which is why LCA troubles with IAF too much weight and too low fuel fraction.

    Modi pushes 'obsolete' Tejas on reluctant military

    above figures does not add up. first if loaded wight is 9.5 then fuel capacity cant be only 2.4 ton. if it is with missiles (which is unlikely) even then this fuel capacity of 2.4ton is decent and contradict above article and numerous other articles i have read stating low range and and fuel...

    Argentinean Air Force Chief traveling to China (JF-17 on Plate!!)

    Why can’t this be as simple that they need replacement of their older aircrafts cost effectively. Why all the debate.
