India is delighted, as Indian Air Force will have a new fighter jet so soon! It has been reported that the Indian Air Force will begin receiving the first upgraded variant of the LCA Tejas fighter, the LCA-MK1A light fighter, in June this year. In February 2021, the Indian Air Force ordered 83 LCA Tejas MK1A light fighters.
After four years of efforts by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited, the first aircraft is about to begin delivery. According to reports from India's EurAsian Times website, during future combat operations, the LCA Tejas MK1A light fighter will have the opportunity to directly confront Pakistan Air Force J-10CE fighters and FC-1 Xiaolong fighters.
The Indian Air Force believes that the LCA Tejas fighter has advantages in climb rate, cruising speed, turning radius, etc., in high-altitude combat. Moreover, the LCA Tejas fighter is smaller in size and has a smaller target, making it less likely to be detected, and also has an advantage in acceleration.
: India's ace up its sleeve, the undefeated LCA Tejas fighter, is ready for action. Modi once expressed on social platforms that the LCA Tejas fighter greatly enhanced my confidence in our Indian aviation capabilities and made me feel proud and optimistic about the potential hidden in our India again.
