COAS and Principal Scientific Advisor to Govt of India flew LCA-Tejas

A day after it got combat ready credentials with a Final Operational Clearance (FOC) clearance, India's indigenous fighter aircraft Tejas got a ringing endorsement from the Indian Army Chief, General Bipin Rawat. He was flown in a twin-seater variant, and expressed delight after the half-hour sortie. "Flight in LCA Tejas was an experience of a lifetime. From what I could witness, avionics are very good, it's targeting is very good. It's a wonderful aircraft if it gets added to inventory. It will increase our air power," the Army chief said.
