The naval prototype of India’s domestic Light Combat Aircraft performed an arrested landing on the deck of the INS Vikramaditya. The aircraft carrier is currently deployed to keep an eye on China-Pakistan military drills.
“After completing extensive trials on the Shore Based Test Facility (SBTF), the naval version of Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) did a successful arrested landing onboard INS Vikramaditya at 1002 hours on Saturday,” a statement from India’s Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) said.
The maiden landing was praised by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh as an important milestone in the development of the naval version of India’s single-engine, delta wing, multirole light fighter, the HAL Tejas.
