Tejas is best classified as which type of defence platform?

Last Updated:

ABallistic missile family
BOperation Meghdoot
C4 December
DLight combat aircraft
Correct Answer: Light combat aircraftYour Answer: D

Explanation

Correct Answer: Option D — **Light combat aircraft**. **Light combat aircraft** is the accurate answer because Tejas is an indigenous lightweight, multirole combat aircraft developed for the Indian Air Force and naval technology programmes. This identifying fact establishes its correct connection with aircraft classification and distinguishes it from the other defence-related choices. Why the other options are incorrect: Option A — **Ballistic missile family**: This is actually associated with strategic missile; specifically, Agni denotes a family of Indian surface-launched ballistic missiles with different ranges. Option B — **Operation Meghdoot**: This is actually associated with military operation; specifically, Operation Meghdoot was launched in April 1984 for control of strategic heights in the Siachen area. Option C — **4 December**: This is actually associated with commemorative day; specifically, it recalls the Indian Navy’s role in Operation Trident during the 1971 war. Exam Takeaway: Link **Light combat aircraft** with its exact **aircraft classification** association for fast **Indian Defence GK** revision.

Important Notes

  • **Identity:** Light combat aircraft is associated with aircraft classification.
  • **Key fact:** Tejas is an indigenous lightweight, multirole combat aircraft developed for the Indian Air Force and naval technology programmes.
  • **Exam trap:** Check whether the question asks about a service, institution, missile role, platform, operation or exercise before choosing a similarly familiar defence term.
