Asserting that the made in India light combat aircraft Tejas is far better and advanced than the Chinese-Pakistani JF-17 fighter jets, Air Force chief RKS Bhadauria on Thursday said the latest Indian jet would be better equipped to carry out Balakot-type airstrikes.
The Air Chief said the 83 indigenous fighter jets to be inducted into the force would also be equipped with homegrown weapons such as the Astra beyond visual range air to air missiles and other standoff weapons.
"Indian aircraft Tejas is far better and advanced than the Chinese and Pakistan joint venture JF-17 fighter," Bhadauria said when asked to compare the Indian fighter with the JF-17.
On March 24, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) welcomed former Indian Air Force chief Air Chief Marshal RKS Bhadauria (Retd) into its fold at the party headquarters in New Delhi. Joining him was Varaprasad Rao, a former Member of Parliament from Tirupati, marking a significant addition to the party's ranks.
Hailing from Uttar Pradesh, Bhadauria's entry into the BJP has sparked speculation about his potential candidacy in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
