The air force has already inducted 20 LCAs into the initial operational clearance (IOC) stage, purchased from Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) in 2006.
The single-engine fighter with supersonic speed capability is an all weather, air superiority jet designed for air-to-air, air-to-ground and air-to-sea combat roles.
Development of the aircraft was delayed for 15 years due to technical complexities and denial of critical technologies.
