ADA Tejas Mark-II/Medium Weight Fighter

AMCA designers should tinker around IWB Weapons loadout. 4 BVR is way too low. At least 6 BVR missiles should be a norm. Also designers should check SWB also.

Absolutely Right... 6 BVR IN IWB is a basic standard.

Even if contract for mrfa is signed toady we aren't going to see first rafale in six years by that time Tejas mk2 mini rafale will be here

1) Mk2 is equivalent to Rafale as stated by Air chief not so long ago


2)If we sign a deal, it will be MII hence a JV with private player under new production line will be established, (as MRO cum production) the only remaining issue is if French can supply enough critical components which will not be produced under ToT, but looking at recent devlopements that they boosted their production rate to 36 jets/year I don't its a problem anymore..


3)Also Russ-Ukr seems to near the end, so more suppliers will be freed up geo-politically speaking.

The only positive thing in above points is at the end there will be private entity to compete with HAL.. if everything goes as planned.

Even with 36 jets per year have you seen total orders for rafale and its delivery backlogs when we first ordered 36 rafale there was no supply chain issue how many years after did we get our first rafale

When we placed orders for Rafale production rate was 12ac/annum... now it's 36... with Dassault planning to increase to 60.

We received 1st aircraft in Oct 2019 exactly 3 yrs after the deal signing in Sept 2016... and the time gap was not only bcoz of production rate... building ground support infra and pilot training also takes time.
