Navy Chief Admiral Karambir Singh while, addressing a press conference ahead of Navy Day has reiterated stand-to-back indigenously developed Twin Engine Deck Based Fighter (TEDBF) jet program under development by The Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA) not only to replace the current fleet of 41 odd Russian Mig-29K fighter jets for the operations from INS Vikramaditya and INS Vikrant but also to operate from third aircraft carrier IAC-II also.
Indian Navy’s forecast requirement for 57 multirole carrier-based fighters (MCRBF) from a foreign OEM, where Carrier-Based combat jets like #F18 E/F by Boeing and #RafaleM from Dassault Aviation were in the race are more or less are temporarily suspended till Navy can gauge the performance of the TEDBF when it is ready for the trials and testing from 2026 onwards.
Navy plans to execute this program to stay on course for possibly the shortest carrier-based fighter jet development in the history but also that the Navy has committed to procure 100 TEDBF from ADA, not only to replace 45 Mig-29K brought from Russians in past deals but also include 57 MCRBF which it had planned to procure from foreign OEM if TEDBF can meet Requirements set by the Navy.
Navy has kept a very short period for the development of the TEDBF jet for the ADA and HAL to execute that has never been done before. 24.5 tons indigenous carrier-based fighter jet will be developed in the country for the first time while in the parallel, the country will also be engaged in the development of the 5.5th Generation 24.5 tons AMCA fighter jet. ADA has sought Rs.13,000 crores for Research and Development of the first three TEDBF jets to be developed by 2026 followed by one each in 2027 and 2028.
#TEDBF jets will be cleared for production in 2030, that’s within just four years of its first flight for which the Navy has agreed to cut corners in terms of the strict regime that is usually followed by the Air force in testing and trials as seen in LCA-Tejas Mk1 program. idrw.org has been told that pre-production TEDBF jets will carry most of the equipment meant for Tejas Mk2 and AMCA program but will enter production before it achieves its initial operational certification.
