Tejas is already operational. 8 are in service and very well tested in recent exercises. All 20 will be operational by the end of the year.
Tejas and JF-17 timelines are pretty much similar and the Tejas's foundation technologies are far more advanced, 4 channel FBW, advanced airframe, superior engine etc.
Plus, unlike the JF-17, the Tejas was primarily made for air defence, and the design is still relevant.
The major difference is the JF-17's current configuration is from the 90s while the Tejas's upcoming configuration for the definitive version is from the late 2010s. So the JF-17's product maturity lead at this stage is irrelevant. The Tejas will be more comparable to the Block 3. And both jets may see simultaneous inductions. By then, the first 20 jets will have reached all the maturity necessary.
We are working on both 5th and 6th gen designs. We are even working on 7th gen designs, stuff that can fly into space. The foundation technologies for the 7th gen design is being worked on today through ISRO.

Brother your post is far from reality and read my post again. Do you know what is mature platform means?. Timeline of JF17 and Tejas is also not the same, can you provide me source of your claim. Also i want to know how you are claiming that Tejas configuration is based on 2010 technologies, please provide me reliable source as well.
Your statement say earlier that Tejas is 2010 technologies and in this statement you are stating that it fall short late 2000 technologies. Next time please stated your claim with proper referencesAs of today, Tejas Mk1 is more capable than a Mirage-2000H, less capable than a Mirage-2000I. Primarily because M-2000I has sensor fusion and better EW.
The new Mk1A will surpass the M-2000I by a healthy margin.
Kid don't try to twist the facts here and we are seriously following everything on almost every where.36 years? No wonder Pakistanis don't create anything worthwhile.
How is 2013-2001 = 36 years? Check when the first flight took place and when the IOC was achieved. And the look at the foundation technologies used and how many countries have such technologies in their hands.
We are already producing 4th gen stuff, we are already choosing manufacturers for 5th and 6th gen stuff and conducting foundation research for 7th gen stuff. It's all happening as we speak.

Now read it again and project start date is 1983 and first prototype fly Jan 2001, so tell my how you make this prototype is just one month according to you?
