Speaking at an event, Air Chief Marshal AP Singh also made a strong pitch for collaborative project between a foreign firm & Indian pvt player to produce fighter aircraft in India.
LCA Tejas is a homegrown fighter aircraft manufactured by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited. IAF has already inducted around 40 of these aircraft & plans to add 83 LCA Mark 1As in its arsenal.
Speaking at 21st Subroto Mukerjee Seminar, Air Chief Marshal Singh also says increased militarisation by China, Pakistan on the borders is a security concern for India.
In tactical terms, the shirtless protest was worse than a self-goal. Suddenly, the fiascos of the AI Summit were forgotten, and the Youth Congress’s disruption became the issue.
IAF is fine with accepting the aircraft with 'must-haves', even if some other steps remain pending, which may take at least another year, it is learnt.
