Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) chief DK Sunil on Friday said the safety record of the Tejas light combat aircraft was the best in the world and there was no problem with the indigenous fighter jet.
“There is absolutely no problem with Tejas. It's a wonderful aircraft and it's absolutely safe. Its safety record is the best in the world. What we saw in Dubai was an unfortunate incident,” Sunil said at the ANI National Security Summit, when asked if the November 21 Dubai crash was a setback for India’s fighter ambitions.
