Description
Another episode you've been waiting for! Air Marshal Raghu Nambiar, an experimental test pilot with many years of operational experience on the Mirage 2000, joins us for an in-depth conversation on that exciting aircraft.
He was also closely involved with the prototype develop of the LCA, was one of the first two test pilots who flew the first prototype, and saw it reach operational status during his service - in this interview we cover his experiences with the LCA Tejas too.
In Part 2, which will be released next weekend, we will discuss his experiences using the Mirage 2000 in the Kargil war, where he used precision weapons to hit targets at significant altitude, thereby reversing the course of the war.
