A good read on tejas,it is often criticised by shorter range but many of us do not realise that every LCA suffers with such issues.However, the main essense of a LCA is, is to be mass produced at the fraction of the cost and has a better TAT than medium or heavy weight fighters. The link given...
India needs permission for american engine agreed, but not Israeli.Besides, The Radar can be hack off for export variants with Uttam and is already being offered with Uttam AESA radar which is designed and built by India itself. Also the F/A-50 has many Israeli components Elta-2032 radar being one.
I have already done my homework properly. (Yawns) And no the tejas isn't expensive than that of sukhoi. and thats the dumbest thing to do i.e posting from a "the Hindu". And subsystems exist in every aircraft Except US/European and Russian built. I wonder what makes u think that the HAl doesn't...
120 Tejas for IAf itself isn't a token amount. And there's no way gripen is cheaper than that of tejas. Looks like you fart through your mouth and Blaming someone else.

Seeing people quarreling here about a stupid test failure makes me laugh.
Most guys(Read Pakistanis) have completely ignored to read the article and came on a conclusion.
The missiles that are deployed near the border are equipped with Russian turbojet engine,the recent test was to test...
The Jf-17 might have enough range only when carrying 2* BVR and 2* CCM missiles same applies to tejas. Furthermore,Air to ground munitions are way heavier than that of A2A missiles and create a lot of drag(My comment was in that context). Also, it doesn't matter whether tejas took 20 years or...
It may not be game changing aircraft for Pakistan for sure.However, it adds up more teeths to the IAF's Inventory
such as Spectra,Meteor,Scalp and etc.However, i won't underestimate Jf-17 it is a cheaper platform which has formed backbone of the PAF.Being a lightweight platform it can be...
Range would not be a problem.Since the aircraft(Single seat) has a maximum internal fuel capacity of 5.2 tons and has a range of 2400kms on internal fuel.The Main problem will be F-116 Block-52s of IAF and ofcourse F-35.
