The first Tejas squadron of the Indian Air Force consists of 20 aircrafts with no reserve specifically designated within the squadron’s primary strength count.

The first squadron to be equipped with the LCA Tejas was the No. 45 Squadron, known as the ‘Flying Daggers’. The planned and reported strength for this operational squadron upon full induction was 20 aircraft. While maintenance pools or fleet reserves exist at higher levels, the squadron’s strength itself is typically cited as the number of operational aircraft.

The Tejas Mk 1 aircraft are being inducted in batches. The full complement for the first squadron (45 Sqn) is 20 aircraft. Subsequent orders are for the more advanced Tejas Mk 1A version for additional squadrons, which will also have a similar squadron strength.
