LCA Tejas completes 2,400 sorties
The indigenously-developed light combat aircraft (LCA) Tejas has undertaken 2,400 sorties to meet the requirements of the IAF. “The LCA has clocked over 2,400 flights till now with highest ever number of sorties achieved in the current year. The programme has achieved highest ever average number of flights per aircraft per month during this year,” HAL officials said here.
The aircraft had recently met its final parameter by displaying its missile firing capabilities with the launching of an infrared seeking air-to-air missile that hit the target with precision and destroyed it.
The initial operational clearance-II of the aircraft will be done at its home-base in Bengaluru after which it will be inducted into the IAF by Defence Minister A.K. Antony.
The aircraft will be the LCA Mark I and 40 of them will be inducted by the IAF and the DRDO and HAL will continue to make improvements in it, they said, adding more powerful and capable version would be inducted later in the force.
