Tejas: 3 incidents, 29 squadrons
The Tejas fleet has had a rough ride, with three incidents since 2016, including a safe pilot ejection in Jaisalmer (2024) and a tragic crash at the Dubai air show (2025).
With only 29 squadrons — well short of what's needed for potential conflicts — the return of these homegrown jets is key for India's defense, especially with rising tensions in the region.
