The Aircraft looks same as trainer version with awkward looking landing gear. Hope this will work. Congratulations ADA & HAL. tx Srini

Even though EJ 200 fits in without much changes to airframe, I still believe it requires more air than 404 so modifying air intakes is a must. I think the only adv we get is TVC nozzle with EJ. other than that both the engines might need the same modifications to LCA. Any comments.. Tx Sri

Hi, Heard a lot about Mayawi but will it be operational anytime soon? I mean will it be part of tejas MK1 or will it part of tejas mk2? And what are its adv. Tx Sri

Hi Sancho, Thanks for pointing me to the article. So does the upgrade include a AESA radar? As the power required for Irbis E ( su35bm radar) is too high and MKI's current engines cannot deliver that power. Thanks in Advance. Sri.

Hi Ping As far as I know Zhuk msfe was supposed to be the upgrade radar for su 27, su 30 k and its not for Migs. The one on Mig 29k is zhuk me, which is around 680mm. so you are saying the zhuk me will be on par with zhuk msfe? tx Sri.

I think many of the details mentioned in this are wrong. e.g. mtow is 13500 kg not 14500. radar which is mentioned is for mk2 version i believe. empty weight is 5680 kg not 5500 ( it was the target earlier) tx Sri

Small Correction its deficiency of Air intakes :cheers: Hope this might improve AOA of Tejas MK1.

Hi According to the above para from air power Australia - Russian industry standard is 2.5m2 target.

I hope the below Image can give some good comparisions

Changing the Air intakes is like changing air frame, I mean its a major change. so they may not do it for the current version instead they have introduced spring mounted flaps as a workaround, this might be enough for current engine i.e. 404, but for newer engine they may have to redesign air...

Hi, I heard some smart skin for MKI. Is this true or speculation? I also heard replacing metal surface with composites( additional Adv of weight reduction)? Are these coming with the upgrade? Tx Sri.

I believe ADA will redesign the air intakes for MK2. If this is the case then GE 414 is also a possibility.:undecided:

Is the above info from Wiki true?

I believe A new Aesa radar ( which is in development for Pak FA ) might be fitted on MKI, As the radar on SU 35bm cannot be fitted on MKI ( Power limitations) and SU35 does not have a AESA radar. And the time frame is also fine I mean 5 years for development of radar. I believe the very high...

How long it will take to get this missile operational. and how does it compare to other BVR like AMRAAM in range etc. Tx Sri

I did not know that India has a upper hand right now in the border. I think china is trying to shift the balance. Good video :) thanks for sharing.

By the way, the mig upgrade details which mig chief was speaking are my apologies if already posted.

Hi Sancho, the Mtow is specified as 13.5t, but ajay shukla has specified in his blog as 13 t. Did something change in between and the MTOW is increased to 13.5 t? as you have mentioned if 5335Kg if left then LCA should be far lighter (even on full load) and should be able to go much...

Hi you said adding 1.5 tons of weapons above its 3.5 ( total 5 tons) so I am reducing 1.5 ton of fuel. 1.5 tons of fuel will be around 1900L of aviation fuel. therefore 3000 - 1900 = 1100L which is less than half. In the next pic below [...
