Ajeets vs Gnats
The Ajeets came much later (post 1971) - they were supposed to be close air support ground attack airplanes. Basically a wet winged Gnat F MK 1 with an upgraded Hobson tailplane actuator and a Martin Baker seat.
The Gnat F MK 1 fought all the wars for the IAF. It was point air defence optimized, but could carry RPs. They did do a fair bit of ground attack with rockets, bombs and 30mm cannon in the 1971 Bangladesh war.
