Scandal To Self-Reliance: MP Surya Flies In Indigenous HTT-40
Thursday, 13 February 2025 () Bengaluru South MP Tejasvi Surya praised Hindustan Aeronautics Limited for the HTT-40, highlighting it as a symbol of India's self-reliance and technological proficiency. He noted its development as a transformation from foreign dependency, propelled by the Modi administration and the late Manohar Parrikar’s vision for self-reliance in defense.
Aero India 2025 witnessed a spectacular aerial display by the Tejas Light Combat Aircraft (LCA), showcasing India's cutting-edge aviation prowess. On Day 2, the Indian Air Force’s Surya Kiran team wowed the audience with precision aerobatics, while the US Air Force’s F-35 performed a thrilling sortie, highlighting its stealth and combat capabilities. The Russian Su-57 fighter jet remained a major attraction on static display, with reports hinting at potential ‘Made in India’ production. Meanwhile, HAL addressed Tejas delivery delays, citing technical challenges rather than inefficiencies. In a major development, the next-generation BrahMos NG missile is set for its first flight test in 2026, with production planned for 2027-28.
