If they come with AESA radar, enhenced avionics and weapon capabilities they are at the same 4.5th gen "technical" level, but being light class fighters, they obviously will have shortfalls in "operational" capability compared to propper medium class fighters.

highly unlikely that jf-17 will come with an aesa,,,,tejas may gey el/m 2052

@sancho

Are you a part of some official defense think tank or a part of the armed forces? Just curious. Your posts are very informative and enlightening. Also, if LCA Mk2 and Rafale are both 4.5 Gen Multi Role fighters, would it be advisable for the Indian government to scrap the MMRCA contract?

dude u got to be kidding me.
tejas mk2 dosen't even exist as of now,,,,,,,even there is 0 operational tejas mk1 as of now.
mk1 is undergoing trials in leh right now for god's sake

He only "class" them NOT comapred them as 1 on 1.

MMRCA is medium class n LCA is light class. IAF want medium class and light class both.

Hey, why don't you let the expert whom the question is directed to answer? LCA Mk2 will be operational by 2020 and it's not like the Rafale is all ready to be inducted in 2014.

MMRCA is medium class n LCA is light class. IAF want medium class and light class both.

Oh. I thought the smaller/lighter it is the better it would be

that was a joke

Yes.

4th gen single role limited capabilities - JF 17 B1, J10A, Gripen A/B, F16 below block 50, Mig 29 blow SMT, Mirage 2000 below -5, Rafale F1, EF T1

4th gen multi role fighters - LCA MK1, JF 17 B2, Gripen C/D, F16 B50/52, Mig 29 SMT, Mirage 2000-5, EF T2, F18 Hornet

4.5th gen multi role fighters with advanced capabilities - LCA MK2, JF 17 B3, J10B, Gripen E/F, F16 B60, Mig 35, Rafale F2 onwards, EF T3A, F18 SH

In reality lca as of right now can't be even considered a 4th gen fighter..

Not necessary both smaller fighters n bigger fighters have their advantages n disavatages.

Define 4th gen fighter class and do tell us were LCA MK1 miss the bus ???

No, just a layman that is interested in defence like most of us.

Not at all, we badly need MMRCA and should had fixed the deal long ago. They will be more suitable for offensive and defensive operations against our opponents than an LCA would be, the MK2 has only the potential to be of the same "technical" level, which shows it's good base, but the long development and late induction makes MMRCA needed for IAF, besides the industrial benefits from the MMRCA competition, that we need to improve our industrial capabilities.
