The Vajra Fighter

How does the Vajra compare to the Rafale?

The Vajra is a full fifth-generation platform with stealth shaping, internal weapons carriage, and supercruise — capabilities the Rafale does not possess. Both are twin-engine multirole fighters with excellent sensors and weapons diversity; the Vajra takes the next developmental step into reduced observable design.

Can the Vajra operate from aircraft carriers?

Yes. The Vajra NV (Naval Variant) is fully carrier-capable with a ski-jump optimised flight control mode, folding wingtips, an arrested-landing hook, and corrosion-resistant coatings. Six Vajra NVs are currently serving with INAS 300 'White Tigers' aboard INS Vikrant.
