The indigenous LCA making a mark during the rehearsal of Aero India-2013 air show at Yelehanka, in Bangalore. The LCA programme was launched for two primary purposes.
The principal goal was the development of a replacement aircraft for the ageing MiG-21 fighter planes. IAF is using the MiG-21 planes since the 1970s.
As per the Long Term Re-Equipment Plan, 1981, the MiG-21 planes will soon become non-functional and the IAF will fall short of 40 per cent of the aircraft needed to meet the projected force structure requirements.
