Indian Tejas As Capable As Rafale: Defense Minister

[GURU DUTT]

Way back,some of the pak pdf member posted a photoshoped image of rafale being chased by jf17 thunder. But our honorable DM outperfomed that person in stupidity.

MP is infact playing games with dassualt as he himeslf knows even half a squad of tejas will be eaten alive by a single rafale

 

[Talwar e Pakistan]

Then Y u need f16 when u have jf17?

When never said the JF-17 is as capable as the F-16; however we did state that after several block upgrades it will be equal to the F-16s; till then we're getting F-16s.

So,cancel buying those rafale from the surrendering cheese-eating monkeys and buy the almighty tejas,the rafale is junk compared to the almighty tejas,one of the almighty tejas is better than 100 rafale junk.

Troll mode off.

It is funny that even after Indians say Rafael is poor plane expensive and 3 Tejas comes at 1 Rafaels price, France is not willing to walk away from the deal, why ? instead they are trying hard to sell their product and they are willing and reduced price by 20%

Is Rafael worth of such hype of best 4.5 Gen fighter ?

But I know that it will not be 36 planes and already many parts of Fighter plane has been started to get produced in India. So order quantity might between 160-230 and 36 will be build in France and balance will be in India.

This figher shall be certainly a very potent fighter in its MK1+ Avatar. 800 KG weight reduction is planned along with 8% aerodynamic improvement. Simply Aerodynamic improvement shall bring 20% hike in trans sonic acceleration. It will have 60 KG higher fuel and 2% higher sea level top speed. T/W ratio shall increase by 13%. Weight carrying shall be 4.2 ton +. It will have Best in class AESA Radar with top class EW.

true but most importantly now Tejas is viewed with positive sign...Unlike corrupted IAF former chief and Italian congressiiis

Anything on paper can be as potent as anything in reality.

He has been posting that same video in countless threads for years now.. You can literally write a book based on all the instances when he's posted the same video.

OMG.. what the heck was that video.. Goodness.. ... What epic mental masturbation by super indians..lol ... you made my day..Good share

lol... this guy is known for making ridiculous statements for some time, he is an intelligent man, probably DRDO did some black magic.

Read the statement carefully. He knows what he is talking. This is done with a purpose.

Point here is who made this video and why ? Is it inferiority complex which forced them to make this video ? Or they want west to laugh at them ?

No the point here is that its flies in the face of logic to take some stupid fanboy videos made by random fools and try to extrapolate that on a collective mass of a billion people..

There are delusional people everywhere with way too much time to burn and they give stupid remarks, create stupid videos etc.. There are such people in Pak and China too. Should I post the “Naali se dollar bahenge" video ?

Bro it's our internal defence matter don't teach us what to buy or what not to buy

First of all I am not your 'Bro' and secondly you asked why do we need F-16s when we have JF-17. I doubt you are of a sound mind or can read and at minimum comprehend that this is Pakistan's internal matter.

 

[Green Angel]

No,Tejas is better than Rafale.....

 

[Windjammer]

Why are pwople cimparing Tejas with JF 17 blunder?? Unlike Tejas JF17 is not homegrown its Chinese made.

True, the Tejas aka LCA or Little Confused Aircraft is home grown, in fact it grew in about half a dozen foreign homes.

What actually happened between 1983 and 2000? First, let us take the promise of indigenous development. In 1986 an agreement was quietly signed with the United States that permitted DRDO to work with four US Air force laboratories. The to-be-indigenously-developed engine for the LCA -- Kaveri -- was forgotten and the US made General Electric F-404 engine was substituted. Radar was sourced from Erricson Ferranti, carbon-fibre composite panels for wings from Alenia and fly-by-wire controls from Lockheed Martin. Design help was sought from British Aerospace, Avion Marcel Dassault and Deutsche Aerospace. Wind tunnel testing was done in the US, Russia and France. As for armaments -- missiles, guns, rockets and bombs -- every last item was to be imported.

Indian Light Combat Aircraft Tejas
The Hindu based on an interview with All India Radio Saturday.
The Indian indigenous Light Combat Aircraft Tejas is as capable of the French Dassault Rafale, Indian Defense Minister said Saturday.

“Our Tejas is having the same qualities as Rafale does. Although Tejas is in light weight category, its range also half compared to Rafale, in terms of avionics, electronics and fire power it is no less than the Rafale,” Manohar Parrikar was quoted by The Hindu based on an interview with All India Radio Saturday.

Parriakar stated that Tejas had similar capabilities although it was in a different class. Talking of measures to improve the squadron strength of the Air Force, he pointed that four to five squadrons of the Tejas will be added in the next three to four years in addition to a few more squadrons of Sukhoi as well as two squadrons of Rafales.

“The first squadron of Tejas will be ready by September-October and it will be flying before Diwali,” the Minister said.

On the selection of another fighter aircraft to be built under the ‘Make-in-India’ initiative, Parrikar said it could be any aircraft and a “decision in this regard will be taken in this financial year".
