New Delhi (HRNW)– The Indian Air Force’s Tejas fighter jet was banned from the Dubai Air Show due to defects, but political pressure forced its participation. Reports indicate that technology gaps, design flaws, and quality issues delayed the Tejas development program.
Problems included panel misalignment, leakage, vibration, engine incompatibility, low-speed instability, and autopilot discrepancies. Despite repeated concerns from the Air Force regarding performance, range, and maintenance, the aircraft was showcased internationally with incomplete software, hydraulic issues, and outdated radar systems. Experts say the incident highlights a major institutional failure in India.
