| | India's HAL 'Tejas' Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) redesign [Archive] - Military Photos |
 | | Yesterday, the Production Variant (PV)-2 of the Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd. Tejas (meaning 'Radiance', and pronounced 'Tay-jazs', pronouncing the 'j' as a 'j' and not 'h' ;)), a huuge milestone in the LCA program. |
 | | To add one thing to EF's comments, who put it a lot less wordy than I could have, the Tejas plays a specific role in IAF formations. |
 | | As you know Gripen is based around having the AMRAAM/Sidewinder combo for air-to-air and can carry a whole bunch of other weaponry for air-to-ground missions, but development ensures that it will also be able to carry the latest European weaponry developed, like Meteor/IRIS-T and so forth. |
