Good to know, so in your opinion LCA is not a fighter as well, because in strike role, it has the same loadout like our Mirages back then and will carry only 2 x SR missiles, which means it will require dedicated escorts as well!
LCA on a attack mission should be excorted by a LCA only if it's a true multi-role fighter , there is no point a LCA squadren asking help from another squadren flying a different aircraft for excort help .....
in kargil ,only 12 mirage were modify to drop bombs , still mirage squadren has enough mirages to provide excort to their heavly loaded mirages on attack mission but they ask for excort from mig-29 , clearly that shows that IAF consider mirage are not worth in A2A against PAF F-16 ..
