India today conducted a successful maiden flight of its Tejas MK-1 for 40 minutes. Almost a quarter-century after the project was first conceived, India began the production of its own Light Combat Aircraft Tejas in February 2019. Tejas MK-1 is equipped with battle-ready capabilities, including mid-air refuelling, AESA radar, an electronic warfare array, Beyond Visual Range missile system, and smart bombs.
