[MirageBlue]

Ah, and so a new internet "super fighter" is born in India. New TEDBF can beat everything China and Pakistan has and will be better than Super Hornet, will equip 8 IN Squadrons and have a Klingon cloaking device.

Just do not ask to see it fly....

Yup, he's a troll with a LOT of time on his hands, who believes that by waging internet jihad on anything Indian, he's gonna achieve something. As if it makes an iota of a difference in the real world. Lol

Bharat Matha all crying when it s pointed out their dream fighter has not flown yet. Job done.

Remove village from your statement, it's offensive to rural folks...

 

[Khan vilatey]

Hey, this may have been asked before but a Rafael is worth 74 million euro and tejas mark 1a that has not flown yet is worth 70 million US$. The weapons packages and maintenance is on top.

If one is throw so much money why not develop the tejas mark 2 ? With canards and more fuel ?

how is this decision feasible?

I am not. Belgian defence is saying. I can't vouch for authenticity. May be someone here with more idea about Thunders can.

The JF 17 is a light weight aircraft also its engines are not exposed thanks to DSI intakes and it's RCS is same as a heavy weight su30 class fighter? That's not authentic

 

[ziaulislam]

So cost is gone up to 6.4b$
And doesnt include infrastructure as that is a separate deal of 500m$

Remember my challenge @Yasser76

Poor IAF...

 

[Raj-Hindustani]

Poor IAF...

Same as poor as PAF, because PAF will be also inducting ( jf 17 block 3) the same capibility as HAL Tejas Mk1a.

Poor IAF is forced to buy something it doesn’t want

PAF is proud of its JF17 taking it to almost every air show on the planet and front line duty bombing run against India..

lca...lol is like a couch potato sitting home watching TV

Again! All about requirements. If north korea is flying mig 17 and bombing somewhere then it does not meant that mig 17 is still a great plane. And, flying in airshows? How many top airforce are interested in Jf17 even flying in airshows?

Now coming to practical not emotional. HAl Tejas 1 is more or less equally the same as Jf17 block 2. And, HAL Tejas Mk1a and Jf17 block3 will more or less will be the having same capibilites.

Now, it is about role. As per IAF, the capibility of such aircrafts are not more then use for defence point. But, since PAF does not have better options then they will surely gonna to use as frontline.
