Islamabad: In India, 30 Tejas aircraft grounded for precautions after crash during routine training exercise.<\/p>\n
According to Kashmir Media Service, three Tejas crashed in two months of 2026 alone which question credibility of Atmanirbhar Bharat, or Self-Reliant India.<\/p>\n
According to Kashmir Media Service, the Indian government attempted to cover up the third Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) Tejas crash in one year\u2014three Tejas aircraft crashed in 2026 alone. This has become a major humiliation amid India\u2019s push for indigenization, shattering the dream of self-reliance and raising questions about the effectiveness of HAL. The grounding of 30 Tejas aircraft due to repeated accidents has led to a credibility crisis.<\/p>\n
Export partners are reconsidering purchasing Tejas from India, as doubts grow over the viability of the \u2018Atmanirbhar\u2019 technology and equipment. Indian aircraft continue to fall like birds from the sky.<\/p>\n
HAL was already facing delays in setting up a production facility to deliver the first batch of 40 aircraft. The IAF may take up to a decade to equip its first two squadrons.<\/p>\n
The first LCA Tejas crashed near Jaisalmer after participating in Exercise Bharat Shakti. Reports suggested engine failure as a likely cause, while the airframe, a fundamental element determining durability, had structural shortcomings. These issues have cast doubt on the aircraft\u2019s resilience, especially in high-intensity operations.<\/p>\n
The second Tejas crash occurred at the International Dubai Air Show, marking a significant humiliation on the international stage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
