India's Defense Delays and Ongoing Concerns Over Terrorism in PakistanPreviousNext

India faces delays in key defense projects, with the Tejas Mk-1A fighter jet and Zorawar light tank experiencing setbacks that affect military readiness. The Indian Air Force awaits Tejas deliveries amid aging aircraft challenges, while the Army's Zorawar tank induction is postponed due to armor upgrades. Separately, concerns about terrorism in Pakistan persist, with numerous militant groups operating alongside many madrassas, drawing criticism from Indian officials at international forums regarding Pakistan's focus and security issues.
