New Delhi, Jan 11 (SocialNews.XYZ) The indigenously designed and developed Light Combat Aircraft (N) Mk1 has made a successful arrested landing on the India's biggest warship INS Vikramaditya on Saturday.
Commodore Jaideep Maolankar did the maiden landing.
"With this feat, the indigenously developed niche technologies specific to deck based fighter operations have been proven," Indian Navy Spokesperson Vivek Madhwal told IANS.
This will now pave the way to develop and manufacture the twin engine deck based fighter for the Indian Navy, he said.
