New Impressive specifications of Tejas Mk1 A are out. A Much improved plane in all areas.

[Signalian]

to make something from scratch , drawing board and blank paper sheet is mandatory , you are a senior member and i assume you must not at least troll the posts , and i dont want to use the mirror assuming you are the enlightened and educated one viz a viz facts . bye for now sir

The term "paper tiger", not drawing board.

Just look at the Pakistan map you dimwit.You entered from a bottle neck. It wasnt as bad as words make it sound.

This is a new defense. "You entered from bottle neck".

Hitting bahawalpur is also easy as standoff weapons have range of 100km with cruise missiles even more..what happens next is the question ..i am sure they will start pissing in their pants about the response ..why do you think they backed out...IAF commander was told by modi to attack bahawalpur his response was "sir..jee .." And modi saw floor is dripping with piss..

Than he called his defence minister talking about deescalation

Fact is whole pdf forum was stunned and at lost about IAF..we simply cant believe the incompetence and still scratching our heads

Now we have 150 KM Glide bombs. We can hit any target in 100 km from our border by just releasing Glide bomb. No requirement to enter into Pakistan, no requirement to use standoff missiles. Just a glide bomb is enough.

Indian fighter plane program is now in fast tracks. Years of hard work and infrastructure have resulted in a great pool of knowledgeable manpower and testing labs spread across the country has given India a great capability to to design and produce the fighter planes very fast now. Tejas Mk1 with with many state of art technologies shall be a top class fighter of its category. A plane with weight bellow 6 ton will carry a payload of above 4 tons. Low RCS and ultra long A to A missile will make this plane only of its kind in the world with no competition from any of its adversaries.

What is the difference between MK1 and MK1A?

If MK1A is superior to MK1 than why build two at the same time?

Is there a prototype? if Not when will the first prototype be available and when the flight testing etc will take place?

When will it receive all of the require certifications? (scheduled)

When does IAF intends to inducts these into active service?

What number does IAF intends to purchase for either MK1 or MK1A?

--------------------------

I have seen seen IAF talk big in the past but not much deliverance. IAF has been talking about MRCA since mid 2000s and we are half way through 2019 and not a single plane to show for it.

What is the difference between MK1 and MK1A?

Mostly upgraded avionics and this thread is about that itself so read the OP.

If MK1A is superior to MK1 than why build two at the same time?

Not at the same time, development of Mk1a started after Mk1 upon receiving inputs from IAF.

Is there a prototype? if Not when will the first prototype be available and when the flight testing etc will take place?

Since its upgrade which doesnt require any structural changes, there is no need to go for gruelling tests as is the case with new fighters. first flight will take place in 2022 and induction will follow soon after.

What number does IAF intends to purchase for either MK1 or MK1A?

40 and 83 respectively.

 

[Surya 1]

What is the difference between MK1 and MK1A?

Explained in OP.

If MK1A is superior to MK1 than why build two at the same time?

It is an upgrades version of MK1 like JF 17 followed by JF 17 block 2.

Is there a prototype? if Not when will the first prototype be available and when the flight testing etc will take place?

By next year.

When will it receive all of the require certifications? (scheduled)

By 2022. It will come in IOC compliment form.

When does IAF intends to inducts these into active service?

By 2023.

What number does IAF intends to purchase for either MK1 or MK1A?

83+ 43 mk1 to be converted into MK1A

I have seen seen IAF talk big in the past but not much deliverance. IAF has been talking about MRCA since mid 2000s and we are half way through 2019 and not a single plane to show for it.

Yes combursome lengthy procedure which is getting more practical now.

Save it youre still using migs for interception and your sukhois are outranged by our f16 Aims....mirage 2000s were the only ac's that gave you some sort of respectability.....more like slow track

Hi guys ,

We knew that LCA tejas Mk1+ will have AESA , EW etc when discussion used to happen about Tejas Mk1A. However a detailed design of tejas is out now. Tejas has became even better with new design improvements now. Here are the lists of Improvements.

Design Change:

Structural changes.
1) Nose cone is sharpen for better aerodynamic performance.
2) Wing blending improved with fuselage for better lift and reduction in RCS.
3) Canopy elevated to improve Aerodynamic performance and improve acceleration.
4) More composites shall go in outer surface to make plane lighter in weight and reduce RCS.
5) Duel missile racks to carry More missiles.

This will result in:
1) Improvement in MTOW by 300 kg due to lift coefficient which is an excellent outcome.
2) Radar cross section shall decrease further because of more composites and design tweaks.
3) Transonic acceleration and highest speed shall improve a lot.
4) Farry range is improved because of aerodynamic changes and ability to carry more fuel.
5) STR shall be improved to 18* .
6) AOA shall be improved by few degrees because of tweaking of wings.
7) Weight carrying will increased by 500 kg.
8) It shall be much more maintenance friendly aircraft with easy accessibility to many LRUS and low maintenance.
8) It will have hot air refueling and OBOG as well.

Electronics , Weapons and communication and net centric warfare capability.

1) UTTAM is planned now planned in MK1 instead of ELTA 2052. This will open the way for integration of METEOR. AMRAM is planned as the short range missile. ASTRA shall be incorporated with MK1 till ASTRA MK2 and SFDR missile arrives. It will carry 2 missiles in missile rack on each hand point.
2) It will have net centric warfare capability by which Tejas shall be connected with 40 other planes with Net centric integration and shall be able to communicate with other planes in a secured DATA link.
3) It will have a state of art EW mounted outside the planes. Gun position is also changed slightly for better arrangement of external payload.

So new Tejas will be more faster, more maneuverable and will carry higher payload. I It will have top class AESA and world's best WVR and BVR missiles with very low RCS and very good EW and ultra long range AAM. Tejas mk1A is a very good plane getting even better and shall be more than a match with India's enemies can come up within coming decade.

This will take another 30 years to be implemented, and Tejas MK-1 will be back to square one.

Shastri still exist in India.

Indeed specs are always impressive and they have been "out" quite a few times in the last 4 decades. Let us know when the real fly-worthy plane rolls out.

And we curved out an ultramodern multirole light weight fighter against ordinary interceptor conceptualized initially. specification changed but what we got it is much better plane then planed initially. Now we are at a stage where we can design and build ultramodern plane quickly which very few countries in the world can produce.

Big talk with no substance.
Let us know when you so called ultra modern fighter is ready to take on competition. Till then, take your blah blah blah somewhere else.

Infact, we are unable to compete because our adversary runs away rather than facing competition.

That's true. We are really scared of your Teja that looks very impressive sitting on a truck.
