The development and production of an aeroplane is a significant accomplishment for any nation. It denotes exceptional scientific, engineering, and industrial capabilities and  Only a few nations have this capability
The tejas Mark-2 also has a modern appearance. The tejas MK-2 would be an Advanced 4.5++ Generation Aircraft that would be equal to, and in many cases, superior to, the Rafale. It would also share some properties of the world's most advanced aircrafts, such as the F-22 Raptor's Indium Oxide Layer and Optionally Manned Cockpit, among other things.
A canard has been inserted forward of the wings, evoking images of modern fighters such as the Rafale, Eurofighter, and Sukhoi-30MKI. The canard adds another control surface that forms a vortex, boosting the aircraft's lifting capabilities and agility. Mark-2 will also have superior radar, avionics, and electronics, as well as the ability to carry a larger weapons payload.
