A tragic incident unfolded at the Dubai Air Show when India’s indigenous fighter jet, the Tejas Mk1A, crashed during a demonstration flight. Developed by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL), the aircraft went down around 2:10pm local time. The Indian Air Force (IAF) confirmed that the pilot lost his life in the accident. <br /> <br />The Tejas, a 4.5-generation multirole fighter, has been a symbol of India’s push for indigenous defence production. Equipped with an AESA radar, fly-by-wire controls, and capable of carrying a wide range of weapons, the aircraft has been central to India’s modernisation efforts. This marks only the second recorded crash in the jet’s operational history. <br /> <br />Authorities are investigating the cause of the accident as tributes pour in for the fallen pilot. <br /> <br />#TejasCrash #TejasMk1A #DubaiAirShow #IndiaFighterJet #HALTejas #IAF #IndianAirForce #TejasAccident #DubaiAirShow2025 #BreakingNews #HAL #LightCombatAircraft #IAFUpdates #TejasJetCrash #IndianDefence #AviationNews #FighterJetCrash #TejasFacts #AerospaceNews<br /><br />~HT.318~ED.103~
