Tejas will replace our ancient Bisons, and maybe Jaguars for ground attack.

fvck I love the Jaguar, spl our new darin-3 ones with the OVERWING PYLONS !! .. outrageous and beautiful, that's what a fvk'n war machine looks like.. star wars shiz proper

Jaguars are very 1980’s technology and easy targets now bhai with any AD system.

Very difficult now to flyover an air base and drop bombs. I mean it’s almost a suicide mission bhai.

India/Pak used AirPower very sparingly in this flare up too. And if they did use it it was well within their own borders at least a 100 miles inside each other’s territory.

AirPower swan song is already here.

Another 5 or so years, you’d see a radical change.

Armor key to maut kub key aagaee hae. The tank is done bhai.

But JF-17 can participate in combat. Why can't Tejas?

There still might be a situation where armoured/mech column nikalna hai, or maybe hit a strategic site somewhere where it can bomb.. its proven to be a very agile fighter flying low and slow zig zag in the mountains too, and for recon/intel.. it still has legs, abhi hai uska kaam.

Enemy jets never intruded into our airspace, Tejas is for area defense or interception.

But the Pakistan arm force did intrude into India…

I commented on the other forum that after this latest indo-pak flare up, the PAF will get defunded because the technology has radically changed with the advent of smart ballistic missiles and hypersonic weaponry and drones whilst defending with very strong AD that almost all legacy systems face extinction.

My comment was so profound and must’ve hit home that nobody really challenged it except a mod there where he said that maybe I should convince those out there developing 5th n 6th generation warplanes and convince them to stop wasting their money…..lol

I responded by saying k bhai the ones developing these 5th and 6th Gen fighters are doing it for vanity or more like luxury….

Who da fuqq wanna sit in a plane doing mach-5 or mach-6 and risk his life? When AI can do a better job at it…..lol

Sub khamosh ho gaey hain Sharma……

A lot of those migrant guys on the other forum got a reality check from this last flare up.

They are very quiet except the usual low IQ ones.

Light Combat Aircraft which was Named Tejas by Atal Bihari Vajpaee in 2001 when it took its 1st flight and Got IOC in2013 and FOC in 2015 is worlds smallest and lightest Supersonick Multi Role Fighter with such a huge Carbon Composites in Body & Skin

and with QUDRAPELL DIGITAL FLY BY WIRE with RELAXED STATIC ABILITY and is tested for more than 4700 flying hours with cability to take off and land fully loaded ven in cross winds in day or night on airbase on any alititude from High and dry cold in Lef Ladhakh to North east ro Dry and very hot in Bhuj or jaisalmer/Jhodpur to Hot & Humid in Southern India but still can carry almost same external load (5300Kgs on its 7+1 pylons) like a J10 which is almost 2 tonne havies and has an engine that genrates almost 30% more power than that of LCA

foregt about LCAs Radar or avionics or weapons but already 8 X Trainers
32 X LCA MK1 IOC & FOC in IAF Squad No 45 & 18 comossioned
83 LCA MK1A orderred of which 7 already made and under pre dilivery testing

and the best part is since first moeny relased in 1993 when this project started till the date last FOC standard LCA was diliverred and money for 99 GE404 engine was released not more than 3.8 Billion USD have been spent on entire project so that 3.8 Billion USD in 30 years thats less than 100 million USD per year on entire project and they bought 70 GE engines in that all those Toolings rigs and and differnt avionicks and Radars and weapons and telnmattterry instriuments and slaries to all those engineers and technicians and test pilots involved in the project


and today we have complete ecosystem deu to LCA project so its not just a Tiny fighter but something else for us as it has three more variants like MK1A , MK2 its twin engined verssion called TEDBF and 5th gen variant called AMCA

as or its useage well already one squadern is based in Kashmir while other is based in Rajasthan rest as and when they arrive and the thing is LCA was concieved to replace aging fleets of Mig21 & Mig27 as its basic roles were POINT DEFNCE , LIMITED AIR PATROL & LIMITED AIR ESCORT & LIGHT CAS/STRIKE roles but as of today it has better onboard electronick warfare suites than Mig29UPG and and better KU Band based SATCOM LINK & Software defined radio and On board oxygen genrating system so it can remain in air for long period of time with air to air refulings and it in single sortie carries more external load than combned external load capacity of 1Mig21+1Mig27

Who da fuqq wanna sit in a plane doing mach-5 or mach-6 and risk his life?

no, manned air is here to stay for the foreseeable future.

i said earlier too, mothership type role hoga maybe in the future, controlling a swarm of drones and battlefield inter gathering, and they'll also be armed.

tech isn't nowhere near cyberdyne systems level

yet.

manned fighter and even dogfighting is still relevant imo
