Tejas is not our first fighter plane. We made the Marut and knet Fighter planes which fought the Saberjets during the 1971 war and our planes were wonderful. Have trust in the abilities of Hall and we shall do wonders .
As a Swede a must say I’m very impressed by the Tejas Mk1. It’s very well thought out plane with price performance very well suited for a good air defense. (Making it cost effective is extremely important when you need high numbers, India being such a large country is going to need a lot of them) I think this is something to be really proud of. Being able to take this from drawing to reality, is a real achievement. This bodes well for the Indian aero defense industry. I also hope that you stop buying Russian arms, both because of how they attacked Ukraine and also because their stuff literally sucks.
Thanks buddy. It is much appreciated. IAF is planning to induct over 210 Tejas in total as per recent recent reports. Which would be a really positive sign for Indian Airforce. But it will take awhile for India stop buying Russian. India is even depended on bullets and even rifles from Russia. Although many things are made in India, it is Russian technology. India is even dependent on Russian veto in the UNSC. If the west continues to support India for sometime. It will be possible for India to seperate from dependence on Russia.
Finally some one who appreciate India . Thanks bro. You are one of few who show some respect to us most are steriotypical of India and always looking down on us even after we show them again and again that India can do it .
I'll take Swedish quality every time. AND the newest Gripen C has the best network coms by far. But the Indian aeronautics industry deserves great credit for building such a modern fighter with good modularity for upgrading in the future.
1) Tejas mark 1a is light weight aircraft Gripen is medium weight aircraft 2) Gripen is backbone of Sweden and main front war aircraft Sukhoi-30 MKI is backbone of India and Tejas is second
@@Himansu_Sekhar even if another 36 Rafale comes in...72 Rafales doesn make 'backbone' of the IAF. Backbone will be the 270 Su-30MKI and 123 Tejas mk1/A by 2030. Following which more Tejas mk2 will come in.
The biggest advantage of Tejas for India is the development of local manufacturing capabilities in the industry and the generation of skilled manpower and such jobs. Although the number of Tejas mk1 being manufactured is only 123, but it is a stepping stone for the Tejas mk2 variant which will be ordered in 200+ numbers by IAF and become real game changer for Indian defense manufacturing industry. Such capabilities are required for the future programs like AMCA

Reference to F16 flying better than LCA because of control laws? Actually it is the opposite. The control laws for the LCA were tested on an F16 by Martin Marietta (I think), and the American Air Force pilots who flew the F16 under both control laws said the LCA control laws were much better than the F16's. This is well documented in many sources - including Kota Harinarayana in the Hamaras Tejas RUclips presentations.

Great comparison, Both are proudly and indegenously developed by their countries to defend their motherland. May both never come face to face in skies, while tejas can carry wide rang of ammunition, grippen has a bigger combat range. Short landing and takeoff are impressive for grippen while tejas has slightly better service ceiling. Tejas has upper hand in keeping defence budget lower.

Pride is good. But without substance it’s just gonna get you killed. To be honest, nobody is impressed with Tejas except for an exhibition of trying. Tejas is too far behind from the start but HAL & India will learn from the experience.
Soon we will see the Swedish Gripen E's and the Norwegian F35's going at it, and we will know more. Maybe the Norwegians will not have to be outclassed anymore, like with their F16's being out matched. 5vs3 and Gripen still comes out with 5-0, 5-0, 5-1 after three rounds. The USAF doesn't do better with their F-15's either, losing two and the third running away to a single Gripen. And all of this with the old Gripen versions, not the E version that is said to be a real leap in capabilities.
I must say ,a very well made ,clear and balanced video. Both the planes are good . Ultimately , it will be the man in the machine who will make a difference.
well i think he forgot to mention crucial information, like radars for instance. That is very crucial, since missiles can shoot so far now it starts boiling down to who can see who first. For instance the new Gripen E has a new great radar with swashplate, you can even lock on and shoot the missiles at a plane that is chasing you from behind.
India has built it from scratch without anybody help and it is made to replace mig 21. But now we r making Tejas mk2 and its other variants so by making our own planes we will become atmanirbhar.
Tejas is very under priced for the setup its has which makes it very versatile and dependable in a dead fight situation. And cost efficient for maintaining continuous service of the fighter.
Tejas is a light combat aircraft, Gripen is a medium multirole fighter. For it's class, Gripen is among the affordable side compared to Tejas which is among the most expensive LCA in its group
India is considering buying the Gripen 39 E Platform which means Tejas must lack capability India needs.SAAB built an entire Factory in Brazil to produce domestic Gripen and such a program might be tempting for a rising Power like India.
then explain why no other country apart from India, the IAF, has the Tejas ? The IAF has to have the Tejas otherwise India will be left with egg on its face for producing such a shit aircraft.
@@HoneyBadgerz Tejas has taken 40 years to get to this stage. It has been in production since 2016. The naval version was cancelled. The MK1A is the updated version which was needed because it is so outdated but production isn't due for another couple of years. Meanwhile the MK2 is already on the drawing board because it is not capable for the IAF needs, however that is projected to take another 10 years. No country will buy it because there will be a delay if you buy it, it is already outdated so why buy outdated planes when better ones on the market. Only user will be the IAF because if even the IAF doesn't use them, it will be a big slap in the face for India. Due to it's inefficiency, the IAF needs to buy Rafale planes.....basically 1 big massive c*ck up after another and that is why noone will buy them.

Sweden have been in many war's but it was some years ago, Sweden have also the world records of most war against one single country. Sweden and Danmark have fight in around 30 war's.
By 2024-2025 in Tejas, astra mk3 and bhramos ng missiles will be integrated… trust me forget grippen no other aircraft will stand a chance in front of tejas . Especially ground missions … tejas mk2 will have better engine and better range too … its strike package will have isreal, european , russian and indian missiles and bombs ….
First of all astra mark 3 will not be inducted atleast for next 10 years. Second tejas mk2 has not even taken its first flight tejas mk1 first flight was in 2001 it got inducted in 2016 even if we are little better now and have govt support it will atleast take 10 more years from ist flight which will happen in 2023. so realistically mk2 with astra mk3 minimum 2035 and air force might not be nterested in it in that period.

Every country's needs are different because every country's terrain, border area, infrastructure, threats etc are different. What works for them may not work for us.

India fought many wars during that period and still constantly face threats whether it is proxy war using terrorism or frequent border clashes from 2 neighboring nuclear armed regimes in one of the most difficult border terrains on the planet.

Depending on the configuration a Jas 39 C costs between 30 to 40 million $ depending of equipment. With a GaN radar and better e warfare capacity bassed on GaN tech the Jas 39 C costs 40 million $. If eaquiped with the GaN radar it will detect the Tejas 80 km before the tejas can detect the Jas C

Tejas is built to provide point defence, meaning it would be mainly deployed to defend territory. That's why it has lot of bvr as well wvr missile. Tejas is a remarkable aircraft and has the best flying record ever in the world.There have been over 5,000 developmental flights without a single accident whatsoever.
while its primary job is interception and air defence, but it also excels at other roles like ground attack, SEAD missions , etc. It can also perform air superiority if needed, but Su-30MKI/Rafale is a better option when it comes to that. And 7000+ flights including operational flights.
@@rohitb5834 blah, blah, blah... all these records are only on paper. Unless it's proven in war, holds no weight.

The big difference is, Gripen uses a lot of tested and more advanced integrated parts like PS-06A radar developed by Ericsson and GE Corp, compared to Tejas which uses indigenous parts like its Uttam radar (good as young in the radar industry) and is Indian-made derived from a Sukhoi... Turbofan wise is the same RM 12 is a licensee of GE F404. IMO overall wise, Gripen has way better. Hoping Gripen would adopt a more composite body system so that it increases the stealth factor.
Dengan uang yang sama utk beli dan operasikan 2 Squadron Gripen utk negara dgn finansial yang minim lebih baik belikan 1 Squadron Gripen dsn 1.5 Squadron Tejas. Keduanya saling melengkapi.
Gripen C is 90cm longer and 20cm wider. So stupid by the Swedes of making the Gripen that large then... If it just was a little shorter it would be invisible...
Gripen is a jack of all trades, Tejas is built for specially performing specific purpose tasks. Tejas is not a front line, top of the line fighter for India, but Gripen is heart and sole for Sweden. These two are very similar yet very different planes.
That is because it has a more slender profile and longer. Gives it that streamline look. Tejas is much smaller and lighter, so they couldn't compromise with the width of the jet. Tejas mk2 looks a lot more badass.
Tejas Mk1a is better than Gripen C but only in avionics section, and the Gripen E variant is far better than Tejas Mk1a. The Tejas Mk2 will be better than Gripen E though.

it's not just about thrust to weight ratio. aerodynamic configuration plays an important part. gripen was specifically designed to have one of the lowest take-off and landing runs
Gripen has crashed too many times, even as a prototype. Its basic control laws (CLAWS) appear to be defective/deficient. Or maybe its manufacturing is poor. A country can't be defended with such planes. Maybe the fact that it is the cheapest fighter around in its class has helped it sell, but that will end soon once the Indian and Korean fighters are in the market in numbers. Tejas has a modern design, with extensive use of composites, enabling it to have a smaller radar signature, long life, high quality. It is by far the best plane in its class, and even without its 1:3 price advantage, is more than a match for any comparable fighter, up to and including the venerable but ancient F-16 block 52. HAL (manufacturer of Tejas) has just ramped up its capacity to manufacture Tejas to 32 units/year, but in a few years, may need to up it again to 64 units per year, once Tejas Mk2 is ready.
Both are good in different aspects, suited for performing operations under different circumstances. We should not argue which one is better as both of them are good.
I don't think a comparison is viable. One was built in the end of cold war to be the backbone of the nation, while the other is much modern jet intended for light combat.
Ha ha ha! What are you saying! Or thinking!! Tejas is a science project. Nothing more nothing less. India will learn. But Tejas is just a step. Get real, these comparisons are just silly and even if we are comparing… Tejas is … baby steps. Just a beginning. India has the capacity to do far more advanced things, Tejas is just a start! I’m expecting much more from India, to counteract China. For SAAB I hope that the UK, Italy and Sweden can make something great with Tempest ( which is far, far beyond what India can do…for now). So glad France and Germany are left out.
The Tejas is delivery almost same package as of gripen but at better price anyone can buy 3-4 Tejas extra while placing an order of almost 20-30 aircraft as compared to gripen
My 2nd option is gripen for the Philippine airforce low maintainance and short landing and can land in rugged airstrip capabilities that can fit for the PAF

Very good comparison. Tejas is getting better and better day by day. Its becoming more and more lethal. In case of a war or especially WW3 every country will need its own weapon, because they can't buy from others either due to sanctions or due to weapons transportation risk. So India anyway need its own fighter jet to avoid getting spare parts problems. Tejas good/ or Bad its a useless discussion. We are developing better and better and we need our own stuff. Need to avoid procurement from West and Russia. Even slightly bad fighter jet with a much larger quantity will win the game. Anyway we had to start somewhere and now we are also in the process of our oqn 5th Gen and 6th Gen fighter jet. We have extremely large manpower and we will definitely succeed in future.

Just tell me how many times gripen crashed and tejas crashed?gripen is 70% and Tejas is 62% indigenous.Tejas is much inferior than gripen but it's good enough to replace mig 21 bison, air force have ordered 83 tejas and delivery will start from 2023
You are talking about the Gripen E, not Gripen C. Gripen E is bigger and superior to Tejas Mk1A and Gripen C, but Gripen C is inferior to Tejas Mk1A. Tejas Mk1A is superior in every respect to Gripen C which also uses the GE F404 engine. Tejas Mk2 development prototype model will be superior in every respect to the Gripen E which both use the GE F414 engine. Tejas Mk2 production model will be even more superior to the Gripen E as it will have the GE F414 EPE engine with a thrust of 116 kN or an engine with similar thrust being jointly developed with Rolls Royce or Safron for the AMCA, compared to 98kN for the Gripen E'sF414.
JAS Gripen have been i active service in 6 air forces since 1996. One pilot have lost his life in a crash with gripen during all this years and that was due to pilot error. A handfull crashes is reported in total. No other advanced fighter jet fighter is even close to this safety record.
@@martinw3577 Except Tejas - no crashes, no incidents, ever - in service or in the development and in the years of protracted flight testing required by the IAF (I think this was 5000+ flight hours in total), greater than 75% availability in IAF service (since 2016), which is the highest by far in the IAF including modern aircraft like the Rafale. The Gripen did have at least one crash during testing - I think it was due to pilot induced oscillation, but that was subsequently fixed.
@@pisquared1827 Tejas became operational in 2016? That's 20 years difference... Anyway, I'm not trying to argue, Tejas is probably an excellent aircraft as well 🤗. When you consider that Sweden is a very small country with only 10 million inhabitants and still have developed several great aircrafts...then it makes you wonder why India, the second most populated country in the world haven't?? It's about time India show some power. 🤜
@@martinw3577 I wasn't criticizing the Gripen - I think it is a great aircraft - I was just pointing out that all aircraft have crashed in development - with the exception of Tejas. Sweden's record on aircraft development (and defense development in general) is exemplary, and that is mainly down to the fact that their policy is to buy their own defense equipment which removes corruption and political influence from the procurement equation. Also Sweden hasn't faced the technology sanctions placed on it that India has. The biggest problem for Indian defense development is corruption in government and in the procurement boards. Corruption is present in every defense tender in India's history, although those indulging in corruption don't always win. The problem for indigenous Indian development is that while foreign vendors pay kickbacks to try to win tenders, DRDO, HAL, NAL, etc. being government owned are not allocated a slush fund to pay competing kickbacks to corrupt procurement board members. As a result the Indian defense procurement board, the IAF, and Indian politicians will always push to buy foreign even if the indigenous option is better in every way to the foreign one. This was probably why the Tejas has never crashed or had any major incident in development. Dr. Kota Harinarayana the chief designer for the Tejas programme said this explicitly in an interview in which he said that they were very careful and very meticulous in their development and testing because the corrupt buy foreign lobby in the procurement would have used any crash or accident in development to cancel the whole programme if it occurred and they were very mindful of that all the time. This caused development to take longer than it would otherwise have. The Tejas Mk 1A, is an excellent aircraft as will be the Tejas Mk2, and that is a problem for corrupt procurement board members because their corruption gravy train will run out if India mainly adopts indigenous aircraft, guns, missiles etc. as does Sweden. I believe that is what is behind the recent attempt by some on the procurement board to cancel Tejas Mk2 just when development is complete and a prototype is due to be rolled out for testing. Tejas was inducted in small numbers initially, until the IAF decided what avionics they wanted. Believe it or not, it took the IAF procurement team 20 years after it flew to decide what avionics to specify. That is where the delays in the Tejas come from - incompetence and corruption in the IAF/Defence procurement board. The Tejas actually first flew (in its current form) in 2001 - no problems then, no problems since. It took 20 years for the IAF to get their act together even in the light of increasing accident losses in the IAF due to old airframes still in service well past their service life.
Gripen is a good aircraft but cannot be a cheap work horse needed in large numbers by a developing country. Tejas is a very good fighter for the price point and is designed to replace aging Mig 21.
Gripen Jas 39 is literally the western fighter with lowest operational cost. The operational cost of the this aircraft is the lowest among a flightline of modern fighters. F-16's operational cost is $7000 per hour and Rafale's cost is a whopping $16,500/hr, meanwhile Gripen's cost is only 4,700/hr. That's why many Small Europian nations have chosen Gripen
Lol wrong facts gripen C has 3000 Litre fuel capacity which 2500 kg actually very similar to tejas 2589kg youre also said wrong abiut tejas fuel capacity it was actually of old initial models 2458kg it was increased by 130 kg after.. Tejas has aesa radar gripen C doesnt whereas gripen E is medium weight aircraft which cant be compared to tejas
new Gripen E costs 85 mil$ flyaway, which is almost twice of Tejas mk1A. Gripen C and Tejas mk1A are of similar price tags. Tejas mk1A is 43mil$ and Gripen C is around 60 mil$ i believe.
There are more powerful variants of Tejas on the way too. Tejas Mk 2 would be more similar to the Gripen V using a more powerful GE F414 engine and an improved AESA radar

Tejas 1 A is powerful but has many limitations. We must accept that. One of them is its range without refueling, second is its missile range till we test Astra mk2 ( 160km). Third is weapons capacity. With external fuel tanks it gets further reduced.Hope Tejas mk2 will resolve these issues.
Some time small things make bigger impact. This line perfectly match for both light combat aircraft.. Form my view tejas is cost efficient and powerful, so tejas win the comparison.

Well you shouldn't forget that the climatic conditions drastically alter the jets performance, Gripen has to go a lot of upgrades to work in Indian climatic conditions.
Per unit cost of Tejas is not around $40 million. Its around 50$ mill as per recent procurement. Its more than an Sukoi 30MKi which cost 45$ mill to India. It may due to low production rate and modern sensors. 1 Squadron of Tejas cost far more than a Sukoi30 including weapons package. Also, 48% of Tejas per value is imported. Ie. Sensors, Engine, Computer chips, radar ( even indigenous one has high isreali raw material).Thus increasing dependency and cost. The jet design is built with the help of France in late 80s. That's why it looks like 4th gen Mirage-2000. The jet previously thought to be built according to soviet strategy ie. Numbers. But IAF wanted a quality fighter jet thus it took indian agencies 3 decade to produce a decent lighter fighter jet
We should wait now Hal said that they are developing on Tejas MK.1a and mkII which will have similar features to gripen. The mark 1 is not that much good in fuel capacity.
Indian R&D doing amazing job they make international level aircraft in few time soon they devlop high thrust engine and i know indian are amazing One day they make most powerfull engine in lowest costs

As a Swede a must say I’m very impressed by the Tejas Mk1. It’s very well thought out plane with price performance very well suited for a good air defense. (Making it cost effective is extremely important when you need high numbers, India being such a large country is going to need a lot of them) I think this is something to be really proud of. Being able to take this from drawing to reality, is a real achievement. This bodes well for the Indian aero defense industry. I also hope that you stop buying Russian arms, both because of how they attacked Ukraine and also because their stuff literally sucks.
Thanks you ❤
Thanks buddy. It is much appreciated.

Soon we will see the Swedish Gripen E's and the Norwegian F35's going at it, and we will know more.
Maybe the Norwegians will not have to be outclassed anymore, like with their F16's being out matched. 5vs3 and Gripen still comes out with 5-0, 5-0, 5-1 after three rounds. The USAF doesn't do better with their F-15's either, losing two and the third running away to a single Gripen.
And all of this with the old Gripen versions, not the E version that is said to be a real leap in capabilities.
I must say ,a very well made ,clear and balanced video. Both the planes are good . Ultimately , it will be the man in the machine who will make a difference.
well i think he forgot to mention crucial information, like radars for instance. That is very crucial, since missiles can shoot so far now it starts boiling down to who can see who first. For instance the new Gripen E has a new great radar with swashplate, you can even lock on and shoot the missiles at a plane that is chasing you from behind.

Gripen is a jack of all trades, Tejas is built for specially performing specific purpose tasks. Tejas is not a front line, top of the line fighter for India, but Gripen is heart and sole for Sweden. These two are very similar yet very different planes.
Tejas mk1/A will be the backbone of the IAF within the next 7-8 years.
Gripen looks beautiful ❤
That is because it has a more slender profile and longer. Gives it that streamline look. Tejas is much smaller and lighter, so they couldn't compromise with the width of the jet.
Tejas mk2 looks a lot more badass.
@@direwolf7491 except it's air intakes 😅 still waiting for tejas mk2 and Mk2A
Sweden has created militaryairplanes since 1926 so Jas 39 Gripen has developed from a very long chain.
Hopefully Philippine Air Force have 2 squadrons or 24 units of Tejas MK 1A
Actually LCA Navy would be best for Philippines navy. Since they are already using Brahmos and Brahmos NG will be fired from LCA Navy.
Tejas Mk1a is better than Gripen C but only in avionics section, and the Gripen E variant is far better than Tejas Mk1a. The Tejas Mk2 will be better than Gripen E though.

Two excellent planes, although for Spain I think the Gripen 39 is better, for various reasons.

more accident prone and costlier
Can the Tejas compete with the Saab ?The Tejas is not battle proven jet fighter,untill the IAF tests the jet on the LOC both east and west,the IAF must be known as an unproven jet.The stats are impressive but how does it perform under fire ,hopefully it will perform well.
Is grippen battle tested???
@@saibalbh31 i am not sure,I don't know if Sweden was in Afghanistan. My comments on the Tejas was restricted to India because the LOC can become a hot war very easily.
Lol if you are testing fighter jets against the someone who doesn't have planes to combat then your battle testing theory is bs. I don't see Sweden ever participated in war globally other than their infighting of WW2 which took place in 1945.

Not surprised the Indian jet is crap compared to the Swedish one. The Indians can't even manufacture the engine themselves and have to import it XD
Tejas has better engine thrust and lower weight ,then also requires longer runway 😳😳😳.... ???
those are on theory. if you look at videos of their lift offs, both are approx the same.
Not a better engine, It's the previous version of the Gripen C engine.
@@strikebr he meant better thrust to weight ratio
it's not just about thrust to weight ratio. aerodynamic configuration plays an important part. gripen was specifically designed to have one of the lowest take-off and landing runs
It is to put the enemy under pressure like good fast bowlers have a longer run up.
Tejas MK 2 coming soo 🛫
J-10 is already overhyped if Tejas is comparable to Gripen, please upload a video for their comparison and also Tejas comparison with Eurofighter
Hope Both countries make more good aircraft in future
Gripen has crashed too many times, even as a prototype. Its basic control laws (CLAWS) appear to be defective/deficient. Or maybe its manufacturing is poor. A country can't be defended with such planes. Maybe the fact that it is the cheapest fighter around in its class has helped it sell, but that will end soon once the Indian and Korean fighters are in the market in numbers.
Tejas has a modern design, with extensive use of composites, enabling it to have a smaller radar signature, long life, high quality. It is by far the best plane in its class, and even without its 1:3 price advantage, is more than a match for any comparable fighter, up to and including the venerable but ancient F-16 block 52. HAL (manufacturer of Tejas) has just ramped up its capacity to manufacture Tejas to 32 units/year, but in a few years, may need to up it again to 64 units per year, once Tejas Mk2 is ready.
Both are good in different aspects, suited for performing operations under different circumstances. We should not argue which one is better as both of them are good.
Gripen é com certeza bem superior. E o Gripen tem a nova versão E/F mais moderna, com turbina mais potente e outras melhorias
Come on
What do you want to buy, made in Sweden or India? The answer you think solved this problem. 🤔
I don't think a comparison is viable. One was built in the end of cold war to be the backbone of the nation, while the other is much modern jet intended for light combat.
Ha ha ha! What are you saying! Or thinking!! Tejas is a science project. Nothing more nothing less. India will learn. But Tejas is just a step. Get real, these comparisons are just silly and even if we are comparing… Tejas is … baby steps. Just a beginning. India has the capacity to do far more advanced things, Tejas is just a start! I’m expecting much more from India, to counteract China.
For SAAB I hope that the UK, Italy and Sweden can make something great with Tempest ( which is far, far beyond what India can do…for now). So glad France and Germany are left out.
The Tejas is delivery almost same package as of gripen but at better price anyone can buy 3-4 Tejas extra while placing an order of almost 20-30 aircraft as compared to gripen
I'm sorry but can you imagine having to choose between buying 30 gripens vs buying 35 samosas 😂😂
This two jet has its own capability.almost equal in every aspect. The main thing in times of action is the pilot skills.
Cap
India congrats on a beautiful plane I have no doubts India will turn this plane into a monster God bless all USA💯
My 2nd option is gripen for the Philippine airforce low maintainance and short landing and can land in rugged airstrip capabilities that can fit for the PAF
Tejas has shorter landing and take off than the Gripen.
750m and 460m respectively.
Tejas 40 years in the making, still ZERO international customer. Gripen , nearly 300 aircraft in service with air forces of Sweden, South Africa, Brazil, Czech Republic, Hungary and Thailand.

I would strongly prefer Gripen, it's swedish and you can rely comfortable on these specs, i don't know if the same can be said about the Tejas. But if they both were tested the same, then both planes are really great!
I do prefer the Gripen still, and judging from the weapons they carry, the victory goes to Gripen.
I'm although impressed with the Tejas since it's from India.
@Apurva Dave Is the Gripen C's 90cm longer length and 20cm larger wingspan really a deal breaker for MIG21 bunkers?
Apparently not, since the MK2 is larger than the Gripen C.
MK2 could maybe give the Gripen C a run for its money at the best of times. Gripen E would be no contest. It's a 5th gen killer.

Also, Tejas is not the first fighter of the country. HAL Marut was and it was battle proven.

Very good comparison. Tejas is getting better and better day by day. Its becoming more and more lethal. In case of a war or especially WW3 every country will need its own weapon, because they can't buy from others either due to sanctions or due to weapons transportation risk. So India anyway need its own fighter jet to avoid getting spare parts problems. Tejas good/ or Bad its a useless discussion. We are developing better and better and we need our own stuff. Need to avoid procurement from West and Russia. Even slightly bad fighter jet with a much larger quantity will win the game. Anyway we had to start somewhere and now we are also in the process of our oqn 5th Gen and 6th Gen fighter jet. We have extremely large manpower and we will definitely succeed in future.
Both jets Gripen C and Tejas MK1A are very comparable.

You are talking about the Gripen E, not Gripen C. Gripen E is bigger and superior to Tejas Mk1A and Gripen C, but Gripen C is inferior to Tejas Mk1A.
Tejas Mk1A is superior in every respect to Gripen C which also uses the GE F404 engine.
Tejas Mk2 development prototype model will be superior in every respect to the Gripen E which both use the GE F414 engine.
Tejas Mk2 production model will be even more superior to the Gripen E as it will have the GE F414 EPE engine with a thrust of 116 kN or an engine with similar thrust being jointly developed with Rolls Royce or Safron for the AMCA, compared to 98kN for the Gripen E'sF414.
JAS Gripen have been i active service in 6 air forces since 1996. One pilot have lost his life in a crash with gripen during all this years and that was due to pilot error. A handfull crashes is reported in total. No other advanced fighter jet fighter is even close to this safety record.
@@martinw3577
Except Tejas - no crashes, no incidents, ever - in service or in the development and in the years of protracted flight testing required by the IAF (I think this was 5000+ flight hours in total), greater than 75% availability in IAF service (since 2016), which is the highest by far in the IAF including modern aircraft like the Rafale.
The Gripen did have at least one crash during testing - I think it was due to pilot induced oscillation, but that was subsequently fixed.
@@pisquared1827 Tejas became operational in 2016? That's 20 years difference... Anyway, I'm not trying to argue, Tejas is probably an excellent aircraft as well 🤗. When you consider that Sweden is a very small country with only 10 million inhabitants and still have developed several great aircrafts...then it makes you wonder why India, the second most populated country in the world haven't?? It's about time India show some power. 🤜
@@martinw3577
I wasn't criticizing the Gripen - I think it is a great aircraft - I was just pointing out that all aircraft have crashed in development - with the exception of Tejas. Sweden's record on aircraft development (and defense development in general) is exemplary, and that is mainly down to the fact that their policy is to buy their own defense equipment which removes corruption and political influence from the procurement equation. Also Sweden hasn't faced the technology sanctions placed on it that India has. The biggest problem for Indian defense development is corruption in government and in the procurement boards. Corruption is present in every defense tender in India's history, although those indulging in corruption don't always win. The problem for indigenous Indian development is that while foreign vendors pay kickbacks to try to win tenders, DRDO, HAL, NAL, etc. being government owned are not allocated a slush fund to pay competing kickbacks to corrupt procurement board members. As a result the Indian defense procurement board, the IAF, and Indian politicians will always push to buy foreign even if the indigenous option is better in every way to the foreign one. This was probably why the Tejas has never crashed or had any major incident in development. Dr. Kota Harinarayana the chief designer for the Tejas programme said this explicitly in an interview in which he said that they were very careful and very meticulous in their development and testing because the corrupt buy foreign lobby in the procurement would have used any crash or accident in development to cancel the whole programme if it occurred and they were very mindful of that all the time. This caused development to take longer than it would otherwise have. The Tejas Mk 1A, is an excellent aircraft as will be the Tejas Mk2, and that is a problem for corrupt procurement board members because their corruption gravy train will run out if India mainly adopts indigenous aircraft, guns, missiles etc. as does Sweden. I believe that is what is behind the recent attempt by some on the procurement board to cancel Tejas Mk2 just when development is complete and a prototype is due to be rolled out for testing.
Tejas was inducted in small numbers initially, until the IAF decided what avionics they wanted. Believe it or not, it took the IAF procurement team 20 years after it flew to decide what avionics to specify. That is where the delays in the Tejas come from - incompetence and corruption in the IAF/Defence procurement board. The Tejas actually first flew (in its current form) in 2001 - no problems then, no problems since. It took 20 years for the IAF to get their act together even in the light of increasing accident losses in the IAF due to old airframes still in service well past their service life.
Always interesting to hear technical specs, and ofcorse oure contrys have differen needs
😎👍
Tejas is better than Gripen but the establishment needs some commission, so they will buy the weapons from other countries.
How? Making yourself look dumb.
Both jet are good compare to each other....
Gripen is a good aircraft but cannot be a cheap work horse needed in large numbers by a developing country. Tejas is a very good fighter for the price point and is designed to replace aging Mig 21.
Gripen Jas 39 is literally the western fighter with lowest operational cost. The operational cost of the this aircraft is the lowest among a flightline of modern fighters. F-16's operational cost is $7000 per hour and Rafale's cost is a whopping $16,500/hr, meanwhile Gripen's cost is only 4,700/hr. That's why many Small Europian nations have chosen Gripen
Meteor👍
Tejas and Gripen are almost the same.
But Tejas seems to be battle ready.
Lol wrong facts gripen C has 3000 Litre fuel capacity which 2500 kg actually very similar to tejas 2589kg youre also said wrong abiut tejas fuel capacity it was actually of old initial models 2458kg it was increased by 130 kg after..
Tejas has aesa radar gripen C doesnt whereas gripen E is medium weight aircraft which cant be compared to tejas
And this was the old Gripen C! Not the new Gripen E with stronger engine and significantly better performance
new Gripen E costs 85 mil$ flyaway, which is almost twice of Tejas mk1A.
Gripen C and Tejas mk1A are of similar price tags. Tejas mk1A is 43mil$ and Gripen C is around 60 mil$ i believe.
There are more powerful variants of Tejas on the way too. Tejas Mk 2 would be more similar to the Gripen V using a more powerful GE F414 engine and an improved AESA radar

Integration of Bramhos missile will a deadly combination. Air to ground capability will multiply many folds as Tejus need not approach the target at close proximity. The Bramhos version fitted on Tejus may have a range of 120 - 150 km. So, Tejus can launch Bramhos about 120 kms away from the target and fly back to the base safely.

Tejas 1 A is powerful but has many limitations. We must accept that. One of them is its range without refueling, second is its missile range till we test Astra mk2 ( 160km). Third is weapons capacity. With external fuel tanks it gets further reduced.Hope Tejas mk2 will resolve these issues.

Undoubtedly the Gripen has an edge over the Tejas😎
in what sense?
Well you shouldn't forget that the climatic conditions drastically alter the jets performance, Gripen has to go a lot of upgrades to work in Indian climatic conditions.
No it doesn't😅
Radar signature+ AESA radar+ long range bvr. These can change the war scenario
WAiting for Tejas MK2 , that is apparently the fighter jets that many other countries are interested in
Which countries?
Per unit cost of Tejas is not around $40 million. Its around 50$ mill as per recent procurement. Its more than an Sukoi 30MKi which cost 45$ mill to India. It may due to low production rate and modern sensors. 1 Squadron of Tejas cost far more than a Sukoi30 including weapons package.
Also, 48% of Tejas per value is imported. Ie. Sensors, Engine, Computer chips, radar ( even indigenous one has high isreali raw material).Thus increasing dependency and cost.
The jet design is built with the help of France in late 80s. That's why it looks like 4th gen Mirage-2000.
The jet previously thought to be built according to soviet strategy ie. Numbers. But IAF wanted a quality fighter jet thus it took indian agencies 3 decade to produce a decent lighter fighter jet
And ....the winner is Gripen C ✌️
Yes by far 👍🏻
