Tejas Mk2 is 4.5th gen plane and the fighter will be equipped with a multi-sensor data fusion system which will feature an active electronically scanned array radar namely UTTAM MVF, infrared search and track and a missile approach warning system. It will also feature an internalized integrated indeginously electronic warfare suite. The aircraft will be designed to have network-centric warfare capacity and will be suitable for CATS MAX upgrade that all the Tejas plane would be able to sport.

ADA is planning to integrate Uttam AESA radar (The T/R modules would be 1784) on Tejas Mk 2 in joint venture with Electronics and Radar Development Establishment (LRDE). Tejas Mk2 also called as the Indian variant of Rafale are to sport Thales X-Guard fiber-optic towed decoy system which would be later replaced by DRDO made towed decoy system and in house Traffic Collision Avoidance System (TCAS).

The fighter is confirmed to be equipped with an artificial intelligence-based “optimally manned” cockpit. The cockpit will be designed such that the ground control would be able to take over the controls of the aircraft in case the pilot becomes unconscious, after being alerted by a sensor in the helmet of the pilot and the pilot would be auto-land and take off (even from a carrier) like it’s predecessor.

It will also sport a next-generation wide-area display which would be customized according to the pilot and will be capable of taking voice commands and will later onward sport an auto refueling technology which it will borrow from AMCA.

• Tejas Mark 2 - or Medium Weight Fighter, is an enhanced Tejas Mark 1 design which is expected to have a more powerful engine and an increased payload carrying capacity.The Tejas Mark 2 will feature an AESA radar, an on-board oxygen generation system and a built-in electronic warfare suite among other improvements to avionics. In January 2019, Air Chief Marshal Birender Singh Dhanoa said that the IAF has committed to procure twelve squadrons of Tejas Mark 2 aircraft.

No canards on the naval version

If this deal succeeds..it will be almost like the deal between China and Pakistan..to make an indigenous fighter plane.. with a production line and ToT on all levels..

Tejas Mark 1A - an enhanced Tejas Mark 1 equipped with EL/M-2052 and Uttam AESA radar, self-protection jammer, radar warning receiver, as well as being able to mount an external ECM pod. The first Limited Series Production (LSP) aircraft of the Mark.1A variant is expected to be rolled out by end of May 2022, and meant to be used as a Flying Testbed (FTB). A second LSP is expected later in 2022, and shall be used to validate design changes meant to make the Mark.1A variant lighter than the Mark.1, and to optimize weight distribution.

Tejas MK1A is probably the option. According to sources, it would not be the MK2. But if India let us do our version with putting canards for the MK1A then I would be happy. If the deal succeeds Egypt will have the right to do whatever we want no or it would have some limits?

He is predominant in Egyptian Armed Forces news. So in conclusion according to him, we are continuing the SU-35 deal despite sanctions rumors etc...

It will be a co-production in the beginning and ..it is not possible for Egypt to accept the MK1A when its upgrade the MK II is almost ready to be mass produced in 2024.. you know just getting the whole production lines and facilities built might take that 2 years already..So it means that it will be ready for production in Egypt as well..


The cockpit will have a Wide Area Multifunction Display and side-mounted control stick which it will borrow from the 5.5th gen plane called AMCA. The aircraft is planned to be equipped with an artificial intelligence-based “optimally manned” cockpit. The cockpit will be designed such that the ground control would be able to take over the controls of the aircraft in case the pilot becomes unconscious, after being alerted by a sensor in the helmet of the pilot, the cockpit will also sport the capability of voice commands and also support’s various regional languages.

India's upcoming 4.5 gen fighter Tejas Mk2, first flight late 2022​

Tejas Mk2 has a Y inlet ducts, much more stealthier than the Gripen



Since this is considered a medium fighter..Egypt will be patient mastering its production thoroughly..and since it is an open architecture for the radar, avionics and other advanced components.. Egypt will have the choice of course..but might try the Indian components first and give its recommendations on them till they are satisfactory, or just get western components outright.. can you imagine how worthy is just the AESA radar and EW suite will be with ToT???

This is one of the several great prospects out of this possible India/Egypt venture. Of all the technologies that Egypt could benefit from, besides A2A missiles, and metallurgy/composite structures and such, AESA radars for fighter jets would be huge and should be on top of the list.
Great view of the Oliver Hazzard Perry Class Guided missile frigate Sharm El Sheikh. This is probably before it was fitted the SMART-S Radar system relatively recently.

Sweet pic from the KC135 tanker, two F-16Bs and F-16C blk 52.

Successful initial sea trials of the Egyptian ENAS EL MOEZ 981 Gowind corvette

This corvette was manufactured in the Egyptian Alexandria Shipbuilding Company by transferring technology as part of the Gowind Corvette deal..

"The completion of sea trials for the third vessel, known as ENS El Moez (981), is a milestone achievement and showcases strong cooperation between France and Egypt."

El Moez when it was being launched.

Incredible but makes a lot of sense that from launch to becoming active takes about 6 months sometimes more since they have to perform sea trials and test every single system, just like a fighter jet etc. Pretty much the same principle.

How did he know that we produce locally AIM-7/9? Any infos about it?

You could ask him right on that tweet. Abdel Rahman El Ghawas is actually a really nice guy and will probably tell you right away how he knows that.

What I know is that way back when the transition from Soviet to American systems happened, they still had a significant amount of MiG-21s and were not buying any more Vympel K-13 missiles that were originally used on the MiGs, and so they worked with the Americans to integrate the AIM-9M (I believe was the specific model missile) into the MiG-21 and be able to fire it. That most likely led to Egypt being able to locally produce it and then move on to the AIM-7. It probably also explains the modification we saw on the AIM-7 Sparrow.

There's definitely something happening when the EAF Lieutenant Commander discusses the F-16C block 52 with Indian pilots and they go up in shared rides together. This doesn't happen with just anyone.

From the Indian Air Force Twitter account:
Involving multitude of day and night operations with #IAF Su-30 MkI & Egyptian Air Force F-16, MiG-29 and Rafale aircraft, the Tactical Leadership Program (TLP) being conducted in Egypt crossed the halfway mark since induction.

Held under the aegis of #IAF Tactics and Air Combat Development Establishment, the exercise involves cross training between aircrew of both the countries, mutual exchange of training & operational knowledge via classroom sessions as well as flying missions.

When the western fucking people rewriting the fucking history a7a begad. 55 missiles to take one single aircraft. Homa begibo those numbers from tiazhom wala eh. Our EADF did a magnificent job to clear the israeli air superiority. I think they forgot how many israeli aircrafts were shot down by our EADF. 55 missiles for an aircrafts then for 10 aircrafts we would have finished our air defense missiles stocks. IDK how they are bringing those numbers from

I don't have twitter hahaha. I hate it because it is so toxic hahahaha. I only use for military news (Mahmoud Gamal, Abdelrahman) and to see the "reaction" of the people for certain politcal football decisions etc..

I forgot to say, Kol sana wento tayebin for EID.
