Is TVC a difficult technology to master, if so it might cause more delays to AMCA. I hope the IAF and HAL babooz work out some agreement wherein IOC without TVC is possible. Or is TVC a must have feature for a 5th gen. Knowledgeable membraan pls comment
Mk1 version won't have tvc anyway so no need to worry. It will get IOC without it.
TVC is (usually)necessary if you're building a high maneuverability/air superiority fighter(like the F22) or maybe if you want STOVL/VTOL capabilities, otherwise it's a nice to have but not absolutely necessary.
Tbh though, in future more of air combat will be moving to the BVR arena, so tvc will be good for airshows to perform cool tricks otherwise actual utility wise it is so so.
