The Indian Air Force today announced that it has decided not to deploy aircraft in multi-lateral air exercise in UK next month in light of recent events. Five LCA Tejas fighter aircraft of the Indian Air Force were to be deployed for exercise Cobra Warrior 2022 at Waddington in the UK from March 6 to 27. India’s light combat aircraft (LCA) Tejas was all set to make its debut on foreign soil next month.
Tejas Mk-1 fighter jets took part in the Singapore Air Show from February 15 to 18, with the move aimed at tapping the export potential of the locally-made LCA. The aircraft previously took in the Malaysia, Dubai and Bahrain air shows but have never participated in a combat exercise in a foreign country.
