Big - भारत का नया Light Combat Aircraft h HJT-36 Yashas New Light Combat Aircraft of IAF

Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) is exploring a bold new direction for its HJT-36 Sitara intermediate jet trainer, with Chairman and Managing Director D.K. Sunil revealing plans to transform the aircraft into a light-attack platform. Speaking in August 2025, Sunil highlighted the HJT-36's potential to serve as a cost-effective, multi-role aircraft for the Indian Air Force (IAF) and potential export markets.
With basic weapons trials already conducted and the aircraft's mission computer enabling seamless weapons integration, HAL sees the light-attack role as "the next logical step" for the Sitara. Equipped with hardpoints and advanced avionics, the HJT-36 could bolster India's indigenous defense capabilities, addressing the IAF's need for versatile platforms while enhancing HAL's global competitiveness in the light-attack aircraft market.
