It can also carry anti-ship missiles, bombs and rockets. It is also special that it is the lightest and the smallest among the group of fourth-generation supersonic fighter aircraft. Recently, Tejas has been deployed by the Indian Air Force IAF) close to the Pakistan border on the western border.

Regarding the Tejas deal, Rajnath Singh said that Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) has already set up second-line manufacturing facilities in its Nashik and Bengaluru divisions.
