Twin Engine Deck Based Fighter (TEDBF) for IN In order to provide Indian Navy with a combat aircraft that will accomplish missions to neutralize the threat from adversaries, a Twin Engine Deck Based Fighter (TEDBF) that will operate from IN carriers is being developed. It has an all up weight of 26 Ton. Apart from superior Mission and combat performance capabilities, TEDBF is custom designed to interface with the Indian Navy carriers (INS Vikramaditya and INS Vikrant) for sustained operations. TEDBF would be much improved version and lethal than the aircraft in operation currently with IN. Aircraft to be inducted as replacement for MiG-29K for operations by 2031”.
