India keeps challenging from both Pakistan and China on the border. At present, the MiG-21 fighter jets are also being farewell from the Indian Air Force. To compensate for this, IAF immediately needs more than 100 fighter jets, which are at least 4.5th generation. Apart from this, India also needs 5th generation fighter jets because China not only has 5th generation fighter jets, now Pakistan is also buying 5th generation fighter jets from China. In the next 3-4 years, Pakistan Air Force will also have updated fighter jets.
For the past several years, India has been working to become self -sufficient in the defense sector. India has achieved unprecedented achievements in the field of missiles, now its focus is on upgraded fighter jets. With this, India is now working to develop Tejas and AMCA.
Tejas is not just a replacement of MiG-21, but it is a light, multi-roll fighter jet for the Indian Air Force for the next 30 years. Its roadmap and upgrade variants make it competitive on global standards.
Tejas MK-1A design and technical edge
The AESA radar in Tejas MK-1A makes it even more deadly. This radar can detect targets up to 150–160 km. In comparison, Pakistan’s JF-17 and China’s J-10C radar are far behind in terms of cross-section. Its biggest feature is that it will not be caught in any radar. This is the reason that in terms of technology and stealth, it proves better than aircraft like American F-16 and Russian SU-30.
Where will Swadeshi Tejas be posted?
The Indian Air Force has planned to deploy Tejas squadron in three different and challenging areas. Among them, Nal (desert area) of Rajasthan, Nalia (coastal area) of Gujarat and hilly and height areas of Ladakh will be deployed. This deployment shows that the Air Force not only considers Tejas as a trial platform, but has accepted it in an active frontline role.
What are the specialty of fighter jet?
Tejas has been made a multi-rol platform, whose weapon capacity is very impressive. The most important thing is that after the integration of BrahMos-NG, the strike capacity of Tejas MK-1A will be more than 160 km, so that it will be able to eliminate enemies from a lot of distance.
Tejas will have a payload capacity of up to 3500 kg. Tejas Mach can reach a speed of 1.6 when fully loaded. In the dogfite, the best fighter jet will ask for water ahead of Tejas.
