At Aero India 2017 ADA has shown scale models of the LCA-Tejas MK-2 and confirmed that the final design of the new aircraft will be frozen soon but rise of upgraded Tejas MK-1A promoted by HAL and IAF’s keen interest to acquire Single-engined fighter jet in a separate tender meant LCA-Tejas MK-2 project took backseat and almost on the verge of been shelved . Single-engined fighter jet tender saw the participation of Swedish Saab Gripen-NG and American Lockheed Martin F-16 Block 70.

Purchasing more expensive Saab Gripen-NG which is a similar class to Tejas-MK2 has not gone well with National Security Advisor (NSA) Ajit Kumar Doval and few key people in Prime Minister’s office (PMO). While IAF still insists that purchase of Single-engined fighter jet is need of the hour for the force which is facing acute shortage of aircrafts due to shoddy tendering and lack of new purchases in last two decades, there is also growing chorus within Government to back purchase of 105 units of Tejas-MK2 fighter jets instead for $15 billion. 2)BrahMos NG missile Air-Launched , the BrahMos NG will have a reduced size and weight – a length of 6 m, a diameter of 0.5 m, and a weight of 1,500 kg – compared with the other air-to-surface and surface-to-surface variants of the missile. It is intended to have a speed of Mach 3.5, with a similar range and payload profile to other variants at about 290 km and 300 kg, respectively. The news report comes after the IAF test-fired the BrahMos-A on 22 November against a target off the country’s east coast in the Bay of Bengal. The 2.5-tonne, two-stage, air-launched cruise missile (ALCM) was “gravity dropped” from a modified Su-30MKI, after which the missile’s cruise engine “fired up and propelled it towards the intended target in the Bay of Bengal”, according to a statement by the government’s Press Information Bureau (PIB). The successful test firing of the BrahMos-A, which has been jointly developed by India’s Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and Russia’s NPO Mashinostroyenia (NPOM), “completes” the tactical cruise missile triad for India, said the PIB, pointing out that the weapon can now be launched from land, sea, and air. 3) K-9 Vajra T Hawitzer The Army is l
