Can Tejas cure Indian Air Force's fleet woes? Experts share their views

Posted: 28 March 2024 | Last updated: 28 March 2024

The Tejas Mark 1A, an advanced version of India's homegrown fighter jet, has successfully completed its maiden flight. Images from the first flight, which took place at the HAL airport in Bengaluru, have been released. The flight lasted approximately 18 minutes, marking a significant step forward for the Indian Air Force. Over the coming years, 83 of these aircraft will be delivered in phases, replacing the MiG-21 and potentially resolving the Air Force's fleet issues. The question remains whether HAL can produce the jets quickly enough to meet demand.
