So 36 Rafales will be the maximum number that will be inducted into IAF? With upgraded mig 29,mirage 2000 and upto 200 su 30 mki IAF is still a decent air force. I don't know why the indian military planners keep on weeping all the time
LCAs true wieght is 6.5tonnes which is almost 1000KG more than it was designed deu to various counter wieghts and telematarry and testing equipment on board and special fixtures and harnassess and all that plus Tejas has a very extra heavy duty landing gear which it doesnt needs as for its capability tejas is tested on all types of altitude in all kinds of weather and day and night operationsWhat are the LCA's real specs. It is heavier than intended so some spec shortfalls resulting from that.
LCA in any form should be India's priority, they should start inducting and introduce changes mid production and via back upgrades as it becomes more mature, its primary objective is to replace InAFs aging aircraft and it is better to them in current form. Revising and waiting for a more advanced version will only compounds problems because by the time the newer version comes out InAF might have pointed out further improvements.

in short : a new programm is launched to cut down all that extra flab off the tejas + give it a new improoved internal avionicks and cockpit layowt with a new AESA based radar and EW suite
its almost ready onl;i thing it does not has right now is onboard oxyegn making capacity and mid air refuling probe which are now in process of integration as we speak and FOC might be achieved by the end of this calender year or first quater of 2016And how much time that will take? I think they have over-done with this light class of aircraft and now having problems, what do you say?
Mr. Author of this article ...You must increase knowledge on the fighter aircraft first...How you can compare RAFALE and TEJAS...???...You need to understand why India is working on Tejas....And why Tejas is very important for India...Please do not compare orange and apple..
