[🇮🇳] Tejas Mk2 AKA Medium Weight Fighter-An Indian workhorse in making to replace-Mig-29, Mirage-2000 and Jaguar fleet

[Krishna with Flute]

So - what generation can Tejas Mk. II MWF be called? 2.5 or 3?

2 generation behind Mig 21and 5 generation behind Jf 17 which BD intends to buy.

Now Designers have revealed that MWF's Frontal RCS shall be 1/4th of RCS of Tejas MK1 A. This means that its frontal RCS shall be less than 0.1 Meter Square.

Tejas MkII Frontal RCS is Four Times Stealthier Than Mk1A Says Project Director - Indian Defence Research Wing

SOURCE: IDRW.ORG India’s ambitious Tejas MkII program has taken a major leap forward in stealth technology, according to Dr. V. Madhusudana Rao, the Project Director of the Mk 2 programme at the Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA). In a recent statement, Rao revealed that the frontal Radar...

MWF shall have capability to Identify and first shoot capability against all Chinese and Pakistani fighters excluding J20 and including J10 (infect J1 to J100) and fire a BVR at them before even they can see it. Mighty Astra Series (MK1-110 KM, MK2-160 KM, MK3-340 KM range) can finish them off from long distance.

The one area where MWF shall be ahead of all planes is weapon. It will have French, European, Israeli, Russian and Indian weapon options. In short weapons from all major sources excluding US and China (Do not fall in sophisticated weapon category). India uses all of them. ASRAAM, Mica, Meteor, R 37, R 73, Python V, Derby, I-Derby, Astra MK1, Mk2, MK3, Sudarshan, Gaurav, Spice, Hammer etc. Everything India using now except Astra Mk3 still under development.

Why mention Bangladesh and hijack the thread with an off-topic comment?

I was asking a simple question and a simple answer would have sufficed.

We know Bangladesh does not stand a chance against mighty Indian Airforce and its collection of Brahmastra, Varunastra etc.

Because you asked whether it is 2nd generation or 2.5 generation. Which country produces 2nd generation plane today? Can you name one? You attempted an sarcasm and I took it forward.

MWF will counter Pakistani Jf17, Chinese J10, J11 etc. It my counter Chinese j20 Stealth fighter as well. So it is very interesting to evaluate the conflicts scenario of medium weight fighter with various Chinese and Pakistani fighters including f-16.

Let us start with JF17. In BVR engagement,

JF 17 with matel skin and not design with stealth in mind has a higher RCS of around 1 to 2 square metre while the medium weight fighter will have a frontal RCS of 0.1 square metre. Let us assume that by the time Pakistan operates JF 17 block 3 with chinese KL J7 A radar and India will operate mwf with Uttam MK 2 radar with 980 TR modules. So MWF fighter can detect JF 17 from at least 200 km distance while kLJ 17 cannot detect MWF at a distance of over 80 km. This gives MWF an out right advantage of over 100 KM of first detection. MWF can see JF17 at least 100 KM before JF 17 can see medium weight fighter. With the BVRs like Astra Mk1, MK 2, MK3, Russian R77, R37, R27 etc it can engage JF7 from a very long distance of 150 km while JF 17 can not engage mwf distance of over 60 to 70 km. Here mwf has a clear advantage. There is absolutely no comparison or competition at all in BVR combat. In WVR engagement, JF 17 can at least see MWF and try to fire short range Chinese missile at MWF. However, because of superior agility, higher trust engine and state of our infrared Seeker missiles like ASRAAM, Python V, MWF can easily shoot down JF17. MWF with superior EW suit, can not only jam Chinese short range missilesmissiles but also target it very easily with Israeli and European missiles which are best in their class. India possesses all of them. There is absolutely no fare engagement so far as JF 17 and MWF is concern. Only F 16 will have some chances against medium made fighter which we will see later on. It will be advisable for Pakistan not to sent JF 17 to engage MWF. Scenario of J10 will be and large similar. Both Chinese fighters will decisively be outclassed by MWF.

Absolutely. They assemble the Russian Yakhont and named it Brahmastra etc.

And are selling it to countries like the Phillippines. Until the Filipinos find out how questionable the quality is, all will be fine.

The story keeps repeating of Indian products like the "Dhruv" helis they sold to Ecuador, another debacle. No one will be buying Indian products in South America any more, especially armaments or fighting platforms.

Since 2009, four of the seven helicopters had succumbed to accidents, resulting in the death of three Ecuadorian Airforce personnel.

Just shameless of Indians to sell these helis when Indians knew how bad these are. As of 2016, the Indian Air Force (IAF) had also grounded its Dhruv fleet three times because of technical issues.

India assembles Russian missile and sells it to other country because Russia itself can not do that. That is what you want to say?
