Dubai/India: A recent Tejas fighter jet crash in Dubai has raised concerns over India’s defense export ambitions. The incident occurred during a demonstration flight, prompting questions about safety standards and reliability of the indigenous aircraft.
Defense analysts say the crash could delay potential deals with international buyers, affecting India’s goal to become a major fighter jet exporter. The Indian Air Force and Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) are investigating the incident to determine the cause of the crash.
Officials have assured that the findings will be used to improve design and operational protocols. However, the setback comes at a time when India is actively promoting Tejas for global defense markets, including the Middle East.
