hmmm....analysts at AFM, Farnborough, , and the ongoing Izmir Air Show seem to think of it as much more than just a ''trainer''
it's operational too. Is the Tejas inducted and deployed?
well wait no longer, my son...
here it is seen firing the PL-5E infrared A2A missile
SD-10A active homing BVR A2A, LS6 glide bombs, WMD-7 target pods, KG300G electronic warfare pods and C-802A anti-ship missiles are all compatible and ready to be loaded and/or fired from these aircrafts as well
Oh, sometimes it helps to do a little research first before making a total fool out of yourself. No?
let the falling ones fall? good strategy....you've implemented it very well thus far! Even your primary arms supplier --the one in question -- has many words to say about HAL's atrocious record at maintenance of those aircrafts and it's usual cost-cutting corner-cutting measures which has cost the IAF MANY pilots over the years.
perhaps to you the pilots and the so-dubbed ''flying-coffins'' are just cannon fodder. . .
