"Flavor of the day HJT36 Yashas is the only Indian jet with a next-gen NPO-Saturn powerplant. AI display routine shows rapid acceleration & tight turns with a TWR=0.4 which would increase to TWR=0.5 for series production i.e. about 25% lighter & tighter than BAe Hawk132 AJT"

"R25 engine of the MiG-21 Bison has the same thrust weight & sound as the Kaveri afterburning engine. Unlike Kaveri R25 flew in IAF for decades with no FADEC high maintenance & less life.
