Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) is all set to unveil a model of the ‘Medium Weight Fighter’ (MWF), a name given last year to the Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) Mk.2, at the 2019 Aero India show in Bengaluru, reports Livefist.
Furthermore, there is also increase in the range and endurance capacity of the fighter jet than its predecessor. Infrared Search and Track sensor has also been introduced in the MWF. The aircraft also features a missile approach warning system.
However, the name change has nothing to do with India’s fifth generation stealth concept, known as Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA), which is an entirely separate programme.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
