The true story of India's Tejas fighter

Dear reader,

Let's clear the air about India's Tejas fighter jet. The Economist recently cast it in a not-so-flattering light. But let's set the record straight.

Here's what happened: The IAF just added 97 more Tejas to their fleet, bringing the total to a whopping 220. And its development time is right on par with big names like the Rafale and F-35. IAF pilots are actually raving about its agility and cutting-edge systems - a far cry from being "disdained" as claimed.
