LCA Tejas, INS Kadmatt to take part in Malaysia’s LIMA 2019


Tejas, India’s indigenous supersonic Light Combat Aircraft and the world’s lightest supersonic fighter which has already joined the Indian Air Force (IAF) and received the Final Operational Clearance on February 20, 2019, during Aero India 2019 at Bengaluru’s Yelahanka Air Force Station, will first time take part in aerial displays during the five-day Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace Exhibition (LIMA) 2019 in Malaysia.

Two Tejas fighters will perform with Indonesia’s Jupiter Aerobatic Team flying the KT-1B Woong Bee aircraft and the Royal Malaysian Air Force in the show. Along with the Tejas, Indian Navy’s Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) Corvette INS Kadmatt will also take part in LIMA 2019. INS Kadmatt is the second ship of Project 28 (P28) class and was commissioned into the Indian Navy on January 7, 2016. It is armed to fight in Nuclear, Biological and Chemical (NBC) warfare conditions.

The IAF had inaugurated the Tejas into its Number 45 Squadron called Flying Daggers on July 1, 2016. Before the Tejas, the Flying Daggers used to fly the MiG-21 Bison fighters, one of which shot down a much-advanced F-16 of the Pakistani Air Force on February 27, 2019, when the enemy aircraft tried to enter the Indian airspace over Jammu and Kashmir.

The first advance Fly-by-wire (FBW) fighter designed, developed and manufactured by the Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA) and Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL). Being a 4th Plus generation fighter it has a glass cockpit with Satellite aided Inertial Navigation System, can fire Beyond Visual Range (BVR) missiles, bombs and precision-guided munitions and can be refuelled mid-air.

Looks like production batch models, not prototypes.
