18 August, 2020

New Delhi: Amid the ongoing border dispute with China, the Indian Air Force has taken a major step. In fact, the Air Force has deployed indigenous light fighter jet LCA Tejas at the air force bases bordering Pakistan. Now the neighboring country will have to think a hundred times before taking any action against India. According to the information, during the recent deployment near the Pakistan border, Tejas flew several times.

Even Before This, The Deployment Has Been Done On The Pak Border

Let me tell you that even before this, the fighter jet LCA Tejas built in the country was deployed near the border of Pakistan amid the ongoing dispute with China. This deployment was done by India to protect the country from two-way attack. Pakistan’s condition was shattered by the presence of Tejas over the security of the western border.

LCA Tejas Is The First Indigenous Fighter Jet Made In The Country

Let us tell you that LCA Tejas is the first indigenous fighter jet made in the country. This fighter aircraft has an American engine. Tejas has been flying at different air force bases for the past few years. After inducting the first two squadrons in the Air Force fleet, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that 83 Mark 1A LCA would be inducted soon.

The Biggest Defense Deal Was Done With Tejas

The deployment of this fighter jet was also supported by the Chief of Defense Staff (CDS) and the Indian Air Force (IAF). The biggest defense deal ever taken was about this indigenous fighter aircraft. Which is 40 thousand crores rupees.

Thereafter, the Air Force agreed to receive 83 Mark 1A LCA Tejas and more.
