The Union Cabinet on Defence (Cabinet Committee on Security) has approved the development of a more effective model of indigenous combat aircraft Tejas (LCA Mark 2) on 31 August 2022. Now this aircraft will replace the Mirage 2000, Jaguar and MiG-29 fighter aircraft in the Indian Air Force.
The Government of India has taken such a decision in view of the success of the indigenous fighter aircraft Tejas (LCA Mark 2).
Mega project likely to be completed by 2027 :
The government has approved the LCA Mark 2 fighter aircraft development project.
This has opened the way for designers to develop an advanced 17.5 ton single engine aircraft.
According to the Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA), the development of the new aircraft will be completed by 2027.
IMPORTANT FACTS -
The government has approved the development of prototypes, the first of which is likely to start in a year.
The project is scheduled to be completed by the year 2027 after extensive flight tests and other related works.
Tejas will be equivalent to Rafale :
According to the Defence Research and Development Organisation, this aircraft will be in the class of Rafale aircraft in terms of avionics and capabilities, but will be lighter in weight.
The government has also approved that the engines used in the aircraft should be made in India after the initial development phase.
The Defence Research and Development Organisation will develop this new aircraft with the GE-414 engine which is an improved version of the GE-404s.
This will give more power to the existing LCA and 83 LCA Mark 1As, which will be inducted into the Indian Air Force in the next few years.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will dedicate India's first indigenous aircraft carrier INS Vikrant at Cochin Shipyard Limited on 2 September 2022. At the commissioning event of INS Vikrant, PM Modi will also unveil the new flag of the Indian Navy.
IMPORTANT FACTS -
The Prime Minister will also unveil the new naval flag, set aside the colonial past and in line with the rich Indian maritime heritage.
Naval flag is a maritime flag used by naval ships of different countries to denote their nationality.
The flag of the Navy may be similar to the national flag of the country they represent or it may be different from that.
In the case of India, the naval flag used by the Indian Navy is different from the national flag.
The naval flag was also changed in the past :
The Indian Navy has changed its flag several times during the pre-colonial era and once after gaining independence.
The Indian Navy got its first flag during the colonial period under British rule. The first flag of the Indian Navy, known as Her Majesty's Indian Marines (1879 to 1884) and the Royal Indian Marines (1892 to 1934), included the Star of India.
In 1928, the white flag of the Royal Navy was used by the Royal Indian Navy (1934 to 1950) along with the St. George's Cross and the Union Jack flag.
Post-Independence Indian Naval Flag Draft :
After gaining independence, on 26 January 1950, the Royal Indian Navy was rechristened the Indian Navy, with its crests and flags duly "Indianised". Accordingly, the Union Jack on the earlier flag was replaced by the tricolour or national flag of India in the canton (upper left corner of the flag).
In the year 2001, the flag of the Indian Navy was changed once again to distinguish it from the pre-colonial era accessories.
After receiving several complaints from sailors about the Blue Crest of the Indian Navy being indistinguishable from the Blue Sky; The government decided to re-adopt St. George's Cross.
In addition, the state emblem of India was also introduced at the crossroads of the cross. In 2014, there was another iteration of the flag with the inclusion of the Indian national motto in Devanagari script: Satyameva Jayate below the national emblem.
Need for change in flag of Indian Navy :
The decision to adopt a new flag for the Indian Navy also comes in line with colonial roots and the idea of separation from the past. In fact, the statement issued by the PMO in this regard also said that the new naval flag will obliterate the colonial past and will be "in line with the rich Indian maritime heritage".

The United States has expressed concern about the participation of Indian Armed forces in the joint military exercises to be hosted by Russia. The US government's concern was conveyed by the White House press secretary Karrie Jean Pierre on 30 August 2022. White House is the official residence of the United States President and is seen as the symbol of the office of the Presidency.
Russian Vostok 2022 military drill :
Russia said on 29 August had announced that the Vostok 2022 military exercises will be held from September 1 - 7, 2022, in different locations in the Russian Far East and the Sea of Japan.
Around 50,000 troops from China, India and Laos, Mongolia, Nicaragua, Syria and several ex-Soviet nations will participate in the exercise.
Last year, India attended Exercise ZAPAD 2021 drills in Russia in which 17 countries including China and Pakistan took part.
What is the US objection ?
The American government was concerned about any country participating in military exercises with Russia while it was at war with Ukraine.
It is seen as a pressure tactic by the United States to isolate Russia for its invasion of Ukraine.
In a clear shift of threat perception the Indian Army is gearing up for threats emanating from the northern border along China. Till date Pakistan was identified as the main threat and the Indian army deployment was also geared to face the Pakistani threat.
To counter the Chinese threat Project Zorawar has been launched by the Indian Army.
