Why the Indian Air Force Has Grounded Its Entire Tejas Fleet | Vantage With Palki Sharma

Описание: The Indian Air Force has reportedly grounded its entire fleet of single-seat Tejas fighter jets after a landing incident at a forward base on February 7. A Tejas aircraft reportedly overshot the runway following a training sortie, with the pilot ejecting safely after a suspected brake or technical failure. Around 30 jets were withdrawn for technical inspections, though no official Air Force statement has been issued. The incident follows two earlier Tejas accidents, including a fatal crash at the 2025 Dubai Airshow that remains under investigation. Built by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited, Tejas is key to India’s fighter fleet plans, but delivery delays and safety incidents have put it under the spotlight.
