Indian Air Force Conducts Precautionary Checks On Tejas Fleet

Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) has rejected media reports of a recent Tejas crash, stating that the incident was a minor ground technical issue. The Indian Air Force (IAF) is conducting precautionary checks on its Tejas fleet, following reports of a possible braking issue during a landing incident. The Tejas program is under scrutiny after a crash at the Dubai Airshow in November 2025, which is still under investigation. The IAF has signed a contract for 97 Tejas Mk1A fighters, with deliveries expected to begin after critical evaluations in 2026. This development was first reported by AeroTime.
