GE aims to delivers 30 F404 Engines to Clear HAL Tejas Backlog | Defense Update 2026 | in English

Описание: The wait is finally over for the Indian Air Force! After months of supply chain delays that left several Tejas Mk1A airframes as "gliders" in the hangars, GE Aerospace is officially ramping up deliveries.
In this video, we discuss the breakthrough agreement where General Electric (GE) will deliver 30 F404-IN20 engines to HAL to fill the massive production backlog. We dive into:
Why the engine deliveries were delayed in the first place.
The impact of the 2021 deal for 99 engines and the new order for 97 more jets.
How HAL’s Nashik production line will utilize these 30 engines to speed up deliveries.
What this means for the IAF’s dwindling squadron strength and the retirement of the MiG-21.
The Tejas Mk1A is the backbone of India’s indigenous fighter fleet, featuring AESA radar, advanced EW suites, and Astra missile integration. With the "heart" of the aircraft finally arriving, the program is back on track for a massive 2026 rollout.
