LCA Mk2 Fighter Aircraft: India is continuously strengthening its military capability to defeat the enemies on every front. From missiles, warships, modern equipment to modern fighter jets, development continues continuously. India will soon fly high in the skies of powerful and light fighter aircraft. Work in this direction is expected to start soon after the approval of the project for the development of LCA Mark-2 fighter aircraft.
Last month i.e. in September itself, the Security Cabinet Committee had approved the development of the LCA Mark-2 aircraft. After this, the way has been cleared for the designers working in the military field to develop an advanced engine fighter aircraft.
LCA Mark 2 will increase the country’s military strength
The development of the LCA Mark 2 fighter aircraft will greatly increase the military strength of the country. The development of the new aircraft is to be completed by 2027. Aeronautical Development Agency chief Girish Deodhare was quoted by ANI as saying that the project will benefit from the progress made in the LCA Mark-1A program and help in the development of the fifth generation advanced medium fighter aircraft project.
