if they will - we'll have to reevaluate India completely.
Love them, hate them - but that's more than entire European(minus Russia ofc) fighter production.
Wait, why is the Indian flag on the tail vertical and missing the little thingy in the middle?

aesthetics are not a concern when designing a fighter jet, but Tejas seems to have been crafted with an eye towards aesthetic appeal.

This is just pure Jai Hind. Literally no aircraft designer has "aesthetic appeal" on their mind at any point during the design phase. Why are you even making these absurd claims? Also "aesthetic appeal" has literally zero value on a freaking combat aircraft. What are you gonna do? Make your enemies commit seppuku with how pretty the Tejas is?
I didn't imply that a fighter jet is designed for aesthetics, I was simply praising the sleek appearance of the Tejas. It gives off a futuristic vibe in its design.
Maiden flight
It's commendable that they've incorporated all modern features while keeping the size of the jet smaller than the MiG-21. It boasts everything the Rafales have, yet it remains smaller than the MiG-21. It stands as the smallest and lightest full-fledged fighter jet in the world.
