Tejas and MiG29K Conducted Trials on INS Vikrant
The Indian Navy has recently undergone a series of trials aboard its newest aircraft carrier, the INS Vikrant. The aim of these trials was to evaluate the compatibility and performance of the Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) and the MiG-29K fighter jet on the ship. The successful completion of these trials marks a significant milestone in India’s maritime defense capabilities.
“The successful landing and take off of the indigenous LCA Navy on India’s first Indigenous Aircraft Carrier is a momentous step forward towards the realisation of our collective vision of AatmaNirbharBharat.

The maiden landing of the Mig-29K also heralds the integration of the fighter aircraft with INS Vikrant. Congratulations to all those who made it happen.”
The Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) is an indigenous fighter jet developed by India. It is designed for multirole combat and has the capability to perform air-to-air, air-to-ground, and reconnaissance missions. The MiG-29K, on the other hand, is a fourth-generation naval fighter jet that is capable of operating from aircraft carriers. The combination of these two aircraft on board the INS Vikrant is expected to provide the Indian Navy with enhanced capabilities and the ability to respond to various maritime threats.
