Updated the weapons station payload cum line drawings on both pages (no assumptions, only what has been seen on LSPs, official renders & Aero India 2019 mockup).

IAF to operationalise second Tejas squadron in Sulur in Tamil Nadu on Wednesday
New Delhi, May 25


The Indian Air Force will operationalise its second squadron comprising indigenously developed light combat aircraft Tejas on Wednesday at Sulur airbase near Coimbatore.



Chief of Air Staff Air Chief Marshal RKS Bhadauria will operationalise the 18 Squadron which is codenamed ‘Flying Bullets’.


“The squadron will be equipped with light combat aircraft Tejas aircraft and it will be the second IAF squadron to fly Tejas,” an IAF spokesperson said.


The Tejas is a fourth-generation combat aircraft developed by the Aeronautical Development Agency and the Hindustan Aeronautics Limited.


It is equipped with a fly-by-wire flight control system, integrated digital avionics and multimode radar.


The Indian Air Force has already placed an order for 40 Tejas aircraft and is likely to seal a contract very soon with the HAL for another 83 aircraft at a cost of around Rs 38,000 crore.


The 18 squadron was formed in 1965 with the motto ‘Teevra aur Nirbhaya’ meaning ‘swift and fearless’. The squadron was flying MiG 27 aircraft before it was number plated or decommissioned April 15, 2016.


The squadron was resurrected on April 1 at Sulur. It actively participated in the 1971 war with Pakistan. It earned the sobriquet of ‘Defenders of Kashmir Valley’ by being the first to land and operate from Srinagar.


The Squadron was presented with President's Standard in November 2015. PTI
Will add to Tejas wiki page after it is done.
