With the LY prefix of its IAF serial covered, this BAe125 is used for radar flight trials (as indicated by its titles), possibly by Zephyr Aerospace Private Limited from Coimbatore, India. The company modified the aircraft with what most probably is a Mirage 2000 nose section, in which a new EASA radar is tested.
