Pakistan has suspended the Simla Agreement. Airspace closed to all Indian operated and Indian owned airlines and all borders and trade closed.

The IAF chief is correct in his criticism of HAL. This is what I gather from the recorded video: 1). HAL had promised that 11 Tejas MK1A will be ready by now. Even though the engines are available, HAL should have got the airframes and all other systems for 11 aircrafts ready by now. 2). The major s...

Some reports suggest that the noise level of LUH is higher than what is desired and now HAL is trying to look for consultants to help solve the issue.
I hope this does not delay the induction and the work to reduce the noise levels can progress in parallel.

Inducting a significant number of new airframes in the next 5-6 years is almost impossible for the airforce.

As I said, something does not square If (& its a big if) Akash-NG has a 30 Km range, why in the world are they even building it? What incremental improvement does it offer, other than being canisterized? The 360 degree coverage is something even the Akash 1S/Prime have, as Karan M pointed out W...
