PoliticsNew IAF Chief to Prioritize LCA Mk-1A, Mk-2, MRFA Projects
Air Marshal Ashutosh Dixit will become Chief of Air Staff on October 31, succeeding Air Chief Marshal AP Singh. He faces challenges including fighter jet shortages and delayed modernization programs. Dixit is expected to focus on key projects like the LCA Mk-1A, nearing induction to replace retired MiG-21s, with 180 jets ordered from HAL. Delays stem from engine supply issues and other factors.
