In a major milestone in the military aviation in the country, the first squadron of home-grown Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) Tejas was inducted into Indian Air Force with two fighter planes joining the force in Bengaluru. The commissioning of the India-made fighter planes comes more than three decades after LCA went into development. The aircraft was named “Tejas” (meaning radiance in Sanskrit) by Atal Bihari Vajpayee as Prime Minister.
