How Tejas Caught the Typhoon and Rafale Offguard

The TEJAS Mk1 demonstrated its impressive capabilities by catching the renowned Eurofighter Typhoon and Rafale offguard. This historic exercise, the first of its kind in India, involved a diverse array of aircraft, including advanced European jets and various Indian Air Force models. The simulation of electronic warfare, surface-to-air weapons, and complex radars provided a challenging environment for all participants. Despite its relatively small radar cross-section and the absence of a common data link, the TEJAS Mk1 showcased its ability to intercept and engage these sophisticated aircraft, highlighting its strategic value in diverse combat scenarios.

If this small unrefined version can do this. let's wait to see what TEJAS MK2 will do .

[dinosutra]

The desert dwelling low life haters will hate but Tejas is the best LCA in the world. That's a fact.

[baratmalli]

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 …

[apachetamizha]

Excellent Really The Tejas is Radiant😊

[sreenivasv]

One thing being ignored is the small size of Tejas. This in itself provides stealth!

[anshumansahu]

We must have the capability of producing our own engines.

[anonymouse]

No wonder the Americans are stalling to provide engines for the more advanced versions.

[dranilchojar]

Let us stay humble, and carry on with good work. The engine is a critical component. Without it, our projections and capabilities will remain limited.

[TheNonAlignmentMovement]

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....

[ganesannarayanan]

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.

[kumareshdas]

Not rafael tejas typhoon
Matter is man behind the machine
Indian Constable to Pilot all are well trained because of Pakistan china
And thats the effect

[shantanubbhosale]

Kurt Tank's efforts will never go to waste.

[Red.bulldozer]

If ancient indian fighters MiG21 can surprise pakustan F16, i am not surprised when tejas surprise typhoon.

But it is sad chinese are frequently surprising indians at LAC😂

[Theofficeguy]

We may take time to develope something but once it done we are best in the word to ceate its top quality

[clavier]

Diplomacy demands some interpretation of the game rules when you operate on a host field

[Floren_Andro]

These exercises lasted several days. If this is the only positive thing for Indian aviation, it means that the rest of the exercises were not exactly positive or successful.
I would not take it as something positive because this would mean that the capabilities of the country's air force are deficient.

[abhishekmahanta]

Waiting for Tejas mk II trails to begin ✊🇮🇳🇮🇳

[braddbradd]

The Tejas is a very good jet fighter but it has a dated look and i think it need updating with front canard winglets then you can sell them abroad the Mark 2 will have them but they wont be ready for a while

[Armecandee]

Tejas is good but it has GE F414 engine USA .I wish Kaveri engine was as better as GE ENGINE .

[bonitokumar]

Unfortunate Tejas will be no more produced as US will not provide engines
