Tedbf Vs Rafale : Why Indian Fighter jet Tebdf is far Better than Rafale Jets

The Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA), which comes under the Department of Defence Research and Development of India’s Ministry of Defense, is moving ahead with its plans of developing the indigenous Advanced Multirole Combat Aircraft (AMCA) and the TEDBF.

While the TEDBF would replace the Indian Navy’s MiG-29K fighter jets, the AMCA is meant for the Indian Air Force (IAF).

Developed jointly by ADA, the state-owned Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL), and the Defence Research Development Organisation (DRDO), the twin-engine, carrier-based, multirole TEDBF is a canard twin-engine variant of Tejas fighter jet.

Reportedly, TEDBF will have a higher thrust and payload capacity, which would put them on a par with the French-made Dassault Rafales.

The fighter jet will operate from the Indian Navy’s short take-off but assisted recovery carriers INS Vikramaditya and INS Vikrant, which will start sea trials this year.

ADA provided the latest figures regarding the capabilities of the TEDBF at the just-concluded ‘Aero India 2021’ show, held in Bengaluru. The fighter jet will attain a speed of Mach 1.6, as compared to Mach 1.8 for the AMCA.

According to ADA, the TEDBF will be a comparatively smaller aircraft than the AMCA, with the Navy fighter having a length of 16.2 meters (53ft in) compared to AMCA’s length of 18 meters.
