ADA Tejas Mark-II/Medium Weight Fighter

[randombully]

you are blackpilled to max.. lol. BTW Engine delivery will start after 2028 so very little matters when proto flies

Will mk2 only have 1 prototype?

 

[Bleh]

Well then your in for a treat, it's not a scale model












Its "2" scale models for 2025.

I don't see no changes

I heard all 4 protos will be nearly LSP level, will be easy to get IOC, FOC sooner.

 

[Corvus Splendens]

I don't see no changes

I'm squinting my eyes here, probably some changes in canards, spine and tail.

The main attraction of aero india will be mk2

Got me excited for another scale model. Got me good too.

I reckon it's these...

Rudram-2 & BrahMos-NG. Plus BVRs on the belly pylons, that's definitely new.

Dayum didn't realise cannards overlap with wings so much.

Also like beside the engineer nozzles. They've changed the fairings share to round.

Yup almost 30% of the canards. They're basically raised Levcons, with the sole purpose of increasing lift & in-turn slow speed handling.

If it were navalised instead of Mark1 it could have worked.

Looking at this I think that leaked photo which confused many people whether it is rafale or tejas mk2. Makes me believe it was tejas mk2

MWF this year only, AMCA to will put in 26. Why'd it take 10 years of testing?!

Last time when ADA gave timelines it was 2024 roll out, only HAL the fabricator can give such dates .. they were the ones that gave a reality check last time.

All the tech for tejas mk2 is already here.
For amca lots of tech can take upto 2033 to develop and then 2035 to test and certify.

Amca's initial prototypes will be flight capable airframes only with some lru's.
Tejas mk2 protypes will be fully developed fighter jets.

ADA a few years ago claimed MWF's metal cutting would commence in 2020-21 with the first prototype to be rolled out in 2021-22. I did intern at a PSU during my bachelors and with the level of accountability at these institutions, it's not surprising for a project to take this long

Tejas mk2's funding was choked by GoI due to engine uncertainty. Before this there was also a long delay in ccs clearance for the jet, really no fault of Hal in all these.

which one?

In AeroIndia 2023, they said Late 2025 as rollout time

Many LRUs for Mk-2 & AMCA are same. Mk-2 will derisk AMCA

Those lru's will make "base" not the next gen tech that will be needed in 2035

Spoiler: My Take

I don’t think we will meet these timelines but hey a good copying is always helpful
