After a wait of over three decades, the Indian Air Force (IAF) is all set to get its hands on this Indian-built fighter jet which has been delayed numerous times over the course of its development.

With the induction of two aircraft on Friday, the first squadron, christened ‘Flying Daggers 45’ of the indigenous Tejas Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) will be ready for service to the Air Force.
