Tejas Mk2 Delayed Again 😳 | India’s Fighter Jet Program in Trouble?

India’s ambitious HAL Tejas Mk2 program has suffered another major setback, with its first flight delayed by two years amid funding issues, supply chain disruptions, and ongoing challenges in achieving 80% indigenous production. Designed as a more advanced successor to the HAL Tejas Mk1, the Mk2 features a larger airframe, canards, and the powerful General Electric F414, but engine delays and industrial limitations continue to slow progress. Meanwhile, India is pushing ahead with a $7 billion order for 97 HAL Tejas Mk1A jets while also upgrading its Sukhoi Su-30MKI fleet and exploring a potential deal for the Sukhoi Su-57. With the indigenous HAL AMCA still decades away, delays in domestic programs are increasingly shaping India’s reliance on foreign technology and partnerships.
