This special report focuses on the future of India’s indigenous fighter aircraft programme following a Tejas jet crash. Defence Analyst Group Captain Rajeev Narang, Air Marshal V.K. ‘Jimmy’ Bhatia, and Executive Editor Sandeep Unnithan discuss the path forward for self-reliance. The conversation covers the Tejas variants, the Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA) programme, and engine development with partners like Safran, stressing that India must learn from the shelved HF-24 Marut project. Sandeep Unnithan states, ‘If you cannot be self-sufficient in fighter design, fighter manufacture, if you give up half way midstream, you say, you know, this program has problems and you exit as we did with the HF-24, a catastrophic mistake we made almost half a century ago.’
