So Mk1A is not a major upgrade? JF17 block 3 also required prototypes for testing and validation of new AESA, FCS and related avionics the entire process took about 1 year. How many MK1A have been produced so far? Running multiple projects in parallel is not a concern for IAF? Do they have sufficient manufacturing capabilities to meet project deadlines?
Thanks for posting this. It's the Uttam AESA integrated on one of the LSPs. Has already flown quite a lot and the results from the tests have been very good. There is already an Uttam Mk2 AESA in the works as well as new GaN T/R modules.
Tejas Mk1 FOC fighters from No.18 'Flying Bullets' squadron at Singapore Air Show 2022
The 3 Tejas fighters flew nonstop from Sulur AFS in Coimbatore in Tamil Nadu state to Singapore, a distance over 3000 kms, without any tanker support. I think that can lay to rest any speculations about the ferry range of the Tejas. It is class leading.

Looks stunning.More from the Singapore Air Show 2022
while the roll seems to be good but it seems to be bleeding a lot of energy in turns
Tejas has mid air refueling, So IAF would have refuelled it mid air before leaving Indian borders. Sojust wait for official statement. But I'm:guessing, As they havent braged about it, Which they Should have ; Tejas range is not drastically improved from official. Brochures.
The range will always get updated from time to time. Tejas was initially rated for only 3.25 tonnes payload, then 3.5, now 4T with significant improvement in flight profile. As id air refueling, So IAF would have refuelled it mid air before leaving Indian borders. Sojust wait for official statement. But I'm:guessing, As they havent braged about it, Which they Should have ; Tejas range is not drastically improved from official. Brochures. h means it should have at least 10% of fuel left for safety reasons. Which itself makes the ferry range around 3400km.
