Delays in Tejas combat jet programme hurting IAF: Air Chief Marshal A.P. Singh
Air Chief Marshal A.P. Singh said delays in the Tejas fighter‑jet programme are hurting the IAF’s readiness. He added the government aims to finalise the Medium‑Range Fighter Aircraft (MRFA) deal within this financial year if the schedule holds, urging agencies to speed up testing and production to restore capability. The MRFA is intended to replace older aircraft and enhance air‑defence.
