At Aero India 2025, Chief of the Air Staff, Air Chief Marshal AP Singh, publicly criticized Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) for failing to deliver the promised Tejas Mk1A fighter jets.
Highlighting his frustration over missed deadlines and unfulfilled promises, the Air Force Chief expressed doubts about HAL’s mission readiness.
With the Indian Air Force facing a dwindling fighter fleet, the delay in the indigenous Tejas Mk1A program has raised serious concerns about India’s air combat capabilities.
An Indian Air Force (IAF) Jaguar fighter jet crashed in Panchkula, Haryana, after taking off from Ambala airbase for a routine training sortie. The pilot ejected safely before the crash, maneuvering the aircraft away from inhabited areas. The IAF confirmed that the crash was caused by a system malfunction. No casualties or injuries have been reported. Authorities have ordered a Court of Inquiry to investigate the incident.

India has approved its biggest-ever defense deal, worth $7.3 billion, to procure 156 Light Combat Helicopters (LCH) for the Indian Army and Air Force.

The U.S. has approved a major arms shipment to Israel, including 3,000 bombs, signaling preparation not just for Gaza, but possibly a strike on Iran. Israeli officials confirmed that these munitions will enhance Air Force readiness for large-scale operations. While the Gaza offensive takes global attention, analysts warn the real showdown may be brewing with Tehran. This deal, once frozen under Biden, was fast-tracked by Trump. Experts say the munitions can also target hardened Iranian facilities—raising fresh concerns about regional escalation and U.S. involvement in Israel-Iran tensions.
