It's not true brother, thing is we need to compete with Pakistan F-16 and JF-17 , F-16 can easily defeat Tejas in almost every area.....so Tejas is overhyped by we Indians only , waiting for AMCA hopefully it will complete on time
Don't be sentimental we have a long way to go in terms of air superiority, for you kind information I wanna tell u American jets have time and again proved their air superiority against every other nation and we are yet to get those manufacturers, technology on board
This is friendly military exercise , they will simulate various types of combat tactics! In this case the task for Tejas was to secretly approach other aircraft and intercept it, Tejas was successful! This shows Tejas has an advantage due to its relatively small size and use of composite materials …
According to your theory, Tejas secretly approaches and it intercepts, in that period of time either eurofighter typhoon or rafale couldn't acknowledge, their radar couldn't get Tejas in fact their pilot knows that Tejas is approaching them. And you mentioned Tejas's size, yeah it is smaller than them but this is not new for them, you know very well about mig-21, Tejas lies in that category, not created a new category of fighter jet. And one more thing what if it happens in the real world scenario, you're gonna make a complaint about it or you have to face it.
@@papaarisstake a chill pill man it's just an exercise to test tejas and it was successful. I can't even imagine what you would say if tejas was unsuccessful. Don't forget that the mig-21 shot down much more superior f-16 which shows that a lot of things matter in real life situations.
@@papaariss Tejas has a very small RCS (0.3-0.5m2 - compare this with 0,2m2 for Chinese J20 and Russian Su57) due not only small size but also use of radar absorbing composite structure that makes up 95% of the aircraft's surface, with radar absorbing coating. For older aircraft designs like Typhoon, Rafale or Gripen, it is 1-1.5m2. That is new. This means that Tejas will detect them before they detect Tejas. The small size of Tejas also makes it more difficult to acquire visually in close combat. This was what resulted in the tiny Folland Gnat/Ajeet gaining the title Sabre killer in air combat with Pakistani F86 Sabres which were then rated as the top fighters in the world. The small size of the Tejas was specified by the IAF - quite correctly as it turns out - precisely because of IAF experience with the Ajeet in the Indo-Pak wars. The value of small cheap small RCS fighters like Tejas has a lot of value now because of miniaturisation of electronics, smart weapons, UAVs, sensor fusion and networked systems between other fighter aircraft, UAVs, ground radar, and awacs. Basically you do not need a huge bomb truck like the F15 or Su 30 to conduct warfare effectively, and in cases where you do not need a big bomb truck Tejas may do a better job. The IAF tactic of using Su 30s to detect enemy aircraft and directing Tejas flying low using the radar shadow of mountains to intercept them without them being able to detect the Tejas is difficult to counter in the Himalayas in particular. The small, stealthy, cheap Tejas fighter concept is as important and revolutionary to modern air combat and combat teaming UAV and drones are to modern warfare.
@@papaarissMig21 fuselage wasn't made up of composite material & was also not RAM coated which makes huge difference if we take Tejas smaller size Based Smaller RCS, into account,Moreover the quality of weaponry integrated with Tejas makes it, one of the most potent weapon platform in its category although no doubt Rafale F3 Eurfighter Typhoon tranche 3,4,+F16 block 72 are much more capable fighters in their own turf of categories but Tejas is not designed or developed to match them in every bit of aerial warfare but still it's smaller Radar cross section give it a bit of little advantage if properly been deployed in the company of AWCAS, & others EWS platforms to utilize it with its full potential..
In peace time interception generally you have to warn foreign planes and order to leave the country’s airspace. It’s not dog fight. Interception in War scenario is different thing mostly it’s attack.
People seem to have little faith in the home made fighter. Remember, not long ago, indian was making the Gnat, a well regarded fighter of those times. It's the unmitigated greed of our political class that prevented building on that base.
One factor that you guys miss is the awareness of the direction of attack. It's a simulation and Tejas is tasked to intercept the tyfoons, but the tejas side roughly knows from which direction the attack is coming... So if you plan accordingly taking factors like your terrain usage, pros and cons of both attacking & intercepting aircraft; it is possible to intercept the attacker and make a surprise. Of course the advantages of having other radar may also come in handy for tejas. My word, don't celebrate... Tejas still needs a long way to go to become a genuine threat to china and the Pakistani airforce. But our bureaucracy and slow decision making is not helping at all. Same with slow production of aircraft and engine delay....
I think we should celebrate its achievement. Why? Because Pakistan has a lot of f16, which is equivalent to German Typhoon. If we can intercept this then we can also intercept Pak's f16. As far as strategic intelligence, our army has strong hold on all terrains and can take smart decisions when difficult time comes. As far as China is concerned, then yes we need to work hard, take hard decisions and need good decision makers (especially in DRDO). Anyway, loved your analyses bro. I just took a balanced approach.

We also know the direction of Pakistani and Chinese airbases, the aircrafts stationed there, and all basic information, and they know the same about us. So your point is invalid.

Come out of this inferiority complex where you have to belittle every homegrown product and can't believe that a homegrown product can beat western ones
@@sidsharmaa against current airforce and radar systems of pakistan; our Tejas, mirage, mig21 and su30 mki combination is more than enough. But China is the biggest and extreme prejudice thread. Just our rafale and su30 mki won't cut it. Especially when they deploy j20. More than that is our squadron strength is really low and our production / import of fighter aircraft is abysmal. Having a 5th generation aircraft like amca or buying su57 in the next 4 to 8 years alone won't cut it also. Because mirror deployment is good for drawing a line to our enemy; but not enough against an existential thread like china. We need better radar systems / awacs systems to detect 5th gen aircrafts alone with long range stealth drones which can be used in attack / defence / intercept configurations.

Intercepted in gaming scenario.... Not a big deal.... We even dont.know the scenario and some are doing chest humping.... BVR scenario Tejas will be taken out by Typhoon...!!! We Indians need Tejas Mk2 to be in same scale as Typhoon & Rafael
Intercepted means it caught them off guard and would have got a shot at them. In BVR Tejas Mk1A will probably be able to take out Typhoon and Rafale due to it being able to detect and get a shot off first. Tejas has a RCS of 0.3-0.5m2 due to its low RCS design from the inception, while older 4th gen aircraft like the F16, Rafale, Typhoon, Gripen etc. were designed without RCS reduction in mind. The indigenous Uttam radar to be fitted to 40th Tejas Mk 1A onwards is on par with the radars on the Rafale and Typhoon albeit a slightly smaller diameter, but Tejas will still have the advantage in BVR due to the smaller RCS. The low RCS of Tejas is achieved by making 90% of its surface area from radar absorbent composite structure developed indigenously by ADA, with the remainder coated with radar absorbent coatings. The BVR missiles that will be used on the Tejas Mk1A and other future Indian fighters will be the Meteor which will match those on Rafale, Typhoon, Gripen etc. and exceed them in the case of Astra 3 (350 km max range for slow moving targets and maybe 160 km no escape range for fast maneuvering targets). The Tejas also has a very good jammer which can confuse the radars on the Rafale, Typhoon, Gripen, F15 etc. closer in. The USAF's F15 got jumped in the Red Flag exercise in India a few years back and the aircraft they found the most impressive was the Indian MiG 21s and their Israeli jammers. The US F15s were flying an attack mission without AWACs cover, and they were detected by Indian Su 30MKIs hanging some distance back. The Su 30 MKIs vectored the MiG 21 to intercept the F15s. The MiG 21s flew low using the terrain to conceal themselves and them popped up, used their jammers and surprised and successfully intercepted the F15s. This is also how an Indian MiG 21 shot down a Paki F16 a few years back, and seems to be what happened now except the Tejas is a lot stealthier than the MiG 21, and the avionics and jammers are comparable to the latest western fighters (at least on the Tejas Mk1A).
😂😂😂nice joke,but you forgot that tejas use israel jammer and radar's, and f404 engines of usa 😂😂😂😂it's looks 3rd class, but it's capable of its own varient,it's an light combat aircraft,not an advanced heavy airdomnance fighter
If home made Tejas is CAPABLE.. Stop spending/Purchasing Costly French Rafael... Having exercise with Europion Typhon is OK but the Fake comparison to upgrade Tejas is a bloody Joke. We are living in 2024 not in the 1900 century.🎉
So German air chief, Spanish air chief, and French air chief who actually flew against Tejas were all impressed by being surprised and intercepted by Tejas, but a random armchair blog poster who calls himself @radharamanan5003 and has never flown a fighter aircraft nor has any experience of air combat in his life thinks that this is hilarious wishful thinking. Who are we to believe pray tell?
@@pisquared1827 i have a PPL license , and know some thing. I am a random arm chair blogger .yes with some flight experience.

The MiG 21s flew low using the terrain to conceal themselves and them popped up, used their jammers and surprised and successfully intercepted the F15s. This is also how an Indian MiG 21 shot down a Paki F16 a few years back, and seems to be what happened now except the Tejas is a lot stealthier than the MiG 21, and the avionics and jammers are comparable to the latest western fighters (at least on the Tejas Mk1A).
Hahaaaa...
3rd class jet in 3rd class country with 3rd class media 🤣🤣🤣🤣 no one wants 3rd class jet, only one country india use that
😂😂😂nice joke,but you forgot that tejas use israel jammer and radar's, and f404 engines of usa 😂😂😂😂it's looks 3rd class, but it's capable of its own varient,it's an light combat aircraft,not an advanced heavy airdomnance fighter
Converted slaves who can't even make needles talking abt Air technology 🤣
Waiting for Tejas mk II trails to begin ✊🇮🇳🇮🇳
Abhinandan mig vs f 16 true 😅
If home made Tejas is CAPABLE.. Stop spending/Purchasing Costly French Rafael... Having exercise with Europion Typhon is OK but the Fake comparison to upgrade Tejas is a bloody Joke. We are living in 2024 not in the 1900 century.🎉
Chill, its just an interception😭😭 thats the bare minimum you would expect from a fighter jet
just wish full thinking . hilarious..Tejas caught the rafale and typhoon off guard. ha h a ha . Then dont order more rafales !
Because Tejas is comes in light category, less payload and limited range .
So German air chief, Spanish air chief, and French air chief who actually flew against Tejas were all impressed by being surprised and intercepted by Tejas, but a random armchair blog poster who calls himself
@radharamanan5003 and has never flown a fighter aircraft nor has any experience of air combat in his life thinks that this is hilarious wishful thinking. Who are we to believe pray tell?
@@pisquared1827 i have a PPL license , and know some thing. I am a random arm chair blogger .yes with some flight experience. I have not flown fighters and neither have you.
i have been following the first flight of the rafale since the 80 s and the typhoon. If u knew some thing about the technology that went into making these 2 aircraft you would not have exhibited your ignorance., Visiting pilots always say nice things to the host, its called courtesy. If you think that the tejas is a cut above the rafale and typhoon then pse suit yourself.
Stop you comedies please
I expected that some people call it a comedy as idiots can be found anywhere.
@@Theconqueror1-2 yes I found one named the conquerer
@@Sarj0129 no, you didn't as he is a very talented and knowledge person but he is also don't mind the absurd comment.
Just look at yourself in the mirror and you would find the idiot
Please stop this Bluffing and concentrate on producing a decent Fighter jet.
Rafale is a 4th gen + Aircraft, and can shoot down a Tejas from 100km away.
My foot😅
Next this dude will say it can take on 80 f35 at once
You are a low life hater without research. I as indian can for sure say the fact tejas in no match to 5th gen fighter. But for 4 and 4.5 yes it is as its was built not long ago and does have almost all the latest features for a jet fighter. It does have a dated look i agree. But since when did looking sexy become a priority in making war machines.
Are you talking about the German?
U r dreaming well
Go check out German aur chief's comment on Tejas. Everything is available in public domain
.....i just wanna laugh 😁🤣👍
Then Laugh..Mental people can either Laugh or Cry when they see others rise...Bhen da lauda
@@Onlyspeakswhenitrequires nuthin...... Jus wanna laugh..... Tehas vs typhoon..... 🤣🤣
To hide your frustration?
@@MtnRaptorGem-bc9lg This was a joint exercise. Not a comparison of machines. Like a practice for real time situation for every nation individually.
Its not the sword but the skill of swordsman, leave you will not get it , laugh more and also educated yourself
LOL. Wake up from Bollywood.
Burnol time
