  1. Good afternoon, wouldn’t it be resoursefouly cheeper develop booth Tejas II and TEDBF on the same project, regarding the obvious diferencies from Air Force and Navy specifications, like the F-35 JSF?

  2. It is very surprising to see that india is suddenly getting a boost to its air power. It has announced 4 aircraft programs in the last 2 years. And with indigenous efforts and tech. Tedbf will be a gamechanger for the indian navy . Navy will also need to aquire a brand new aircraft carrier designed to tedbf exclusively. The aircraft should be able to carry air version of brahmos , because brahmos was initialy designed as a missile to destroy ships . I cant wait to see the tedbf flying over indian maritime region and protecting the seas
