India is on the cusp of a significant transformation in its defense sector. Kota Harinarayana, the former chief designer of the Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) Tejas, recently stated that India is poised to become self-reliant in fighter jet manufacturing within the next few years. This marks a pivotal shift from being one of the world's largest importers of defense equipment to a nation capable of exporting indigenous fighter jets. ✈️ The LCA Tejas: Symbol of Indigenous Excellence The LCA Tejas program is a shining example of India's ability to innovate independently. Designed and developed by the Aeronautical Development Agency ( ADA) under the Defence Research and Development Organisation ( DRDO) , Tejas was envisioned to replace the aging MiG- 21 fleet and reduce the Indian Air Force’s reliance on foreign aircraft.
