tejas is better than block 1 and 2 in real.terms
why because not one of your 100 thunders in service has
a helmet mounted display for dog fighting
not one has full quadrupled flybewire or compsite airframe .you cannot change the flybewire after build.
block 3 is flying in workshop in chengdu
this is the real deal you will receive first batch 2021 12 per year and you have 50 on order.
logging flight hours will.not remove the deficiency of a rushed product.
our Air Force demanded a better product which took longer
don't get me wrong tejas had issues mainly not enough fuel or payload or power
hence we will move to block mark1a and may be mark 2 a bigger version in decade or so.
Agreed! Even to me JF 17 block 1 and 2 are not a game changer. it is just comparable to Hal Tejas Mk1 but having better range. Some points- JF 17 score better then HAL Tejas MK1 and some points HAL Tejas MK1.
HAL Tejas MK1a and JF 17 block 3 will be much improved and better aircrafts. Jf 17 block 3 will be equipped with PL 15 missile (160 KM) and HAL Tejas MK1a with Astra missile - 2 (160 KM).
But now comes to role, it is advantge to HAL tejas MK1a because it will use for defensive purpose and will replace to MIg 21 because IAF is having more capable fighters - Rafale and su 30 mki (SU 30 Mki will also equipped with Astra 2 and 3 respectfully 160 KM to 350 KM)
And HAL Tejas MK2 will be a real game changer for India and hopefully, we would not require to import any aircrft from any other country. Exclusion some parts of the aircarft i . e engine etc.
