FUTURE OF NAVAL TEJAS?

THE NAVAL VERSION OF TEJAS IS BEEN DISCARDED BY THE INDIAN NAVY FOR ITS UNDER PERFORMANCE.  BUT IT IS THE SAME TEJAS THAT IS QUALIFIED TO BE DEPLOYED IN THE MOUNTAINOUS TERRAIN.

    Hello readers

Today we shall have a overlook on the naval version of the tejas utilisation and its need in the erst while indian territories.    the naval version is meant for the carrier borned operations, means the aircraft is to be operated on a sophisticated very short runway.

    it is not the carriers alone,  for india there are certain areas where such type of short runways are more useful, for operations.  there are two zones in india where the naval version of the fighter aircrafts are most needed.

    india shares a mountainous border with the chinese, where the construction of the long runways is not possible due to the terrain.  in this theatre  the carrier type infrastructure to launch and recover the fighter jets and the helicopters is more favourable, as it is require short runways and arrested recovery.

    The runway can be extended a little bit so that the tejas can carry little more payload.   this airfields can act as the farward postings and can defend against any aerial raids.  since large air bases requires more infrastructure and more space,  this type of micro airbases with three to four fighter jets and same amount of the helis with certain number of ground forces can punch the any chinese invansion.  they can also be equipped with the long range artillery and the missile systems  so that they ca be used as farward strike bases and the listening posts.

     there is about twenty places in the mountainous terrain where this type of the airfields can be constructed.   in this areas the tejas marine version can be fielded effectively.   since it operates at high altitudes.

secondly the andaman and nicobar islets. and the lakshadweep islets.

though the indian navy has migs for carrier borne operations.  the lakshadweep and the andaman islets acts as its farword assets.   constrution of multi airbases here to let the incoming enemy or chinese naval assets to strike india can be stopped in this point. five to six ssquadrons of tejas naval version fighters can be accomodated on the andaman and nicobar islands.

  while in lakshadweep we can accomodate more than one squadron of tejas marine fighter jets.

   this type of deployment also reduces future infrastructure requirement and also increases the efficiancy of the operation capabilities. with tri service commands.
