India’s indigenous Tejas Light Combat Aircraft (LCA), meant to replace the country’s aging Soviet-era MiG-21 fleet, is running behind schedule for induction into the Indian air force (IAF).

India has advanced the test launch of its Reusable Launch Vehicle (RLV) to next week – a mission that will mark a big step toward achieving the two-stage-to-orbit (TSTO) launch potential.

India has successfully conducted the final test of its indigenously developed supersonic interceptor missile as part of its bid to develop a multi-layered ballistic missile defense system.
