Indian Air Force’s HAL Tejas, also known as the Light Combat Aircraft (LCA), could not land at Raja Bhoj Airport, Bhopal from Bengaluru due to bad weather conditions there. It was supposed to land here on Thursday. Tejas had to be sent to Leh airbase through Bhopal.
Bhopal Airport Director Akashdeep Mathur said, “Just because of bad weather, Indian Air Force Tejas could not take off from Bengaluru and it was to land in Bhopal today. Now situation will be clear within next couple of days and most probably, by Saturday.”
Tejas, India’s first home-grown fighter, has so far clocked well over 3,050 flight tests since its first prototype took to the skies in January 2001. Tejas, with a limited reach of just about 400 km, strikes deep into enemy territory. It will basically be used for “air defense” to take on incoming enemy fighters or “close air-to-ground” operations to support the Army.
