The indigenously developed Indian fighter jet is being outfitted for export. It recently participated in airshows in Sri Lanka, Dubai, and Singapore, where it displayed an amazing air performance. As it completes its Tejas Mark 1 version functioning model, it is now searching for an international customer. It is now being developed into aircraft with various sorts of armament systems.
However, only a few nations provide HAL customization for the equipment supplier. As a result, the Malaysian Air Force has been urged to replace Israeli-made missiles with Indian or European-made missiles.
Hindustan Aeronautics Limited is the manufacturer. According to a reliable source, Tejas will be delivered to Malaysia’s FLIT-LCA programme without the Israeli-made Elta ELM-2032 multimode radar or any other Israeli equipment, as most of the systems would be replaced with French or Indian systems depending on customer requirements. Malaysia, a Muslim-majority country, does not recognise the existence of Israel.
As Chinese JF 17 is kicked out of the race already. India’s Tejas to offer Malaysia with France and Indian Made defense system will exclude the Israeli origin component as per the Malaysian Request.
The Tejas (single-seat) aircraft has been offered to the Royal Malaysian Air Force, together with the Uttam AESA Fire Control Radar, Head-up Display (HUD) unit, and Damocles targeting pod, as well as the DRDO-developed Helmet Mounted Display and Sight (HMDS).
The Royal Malaysian Air Force needs 18 planes to replace its inventory of BAE Systems Hawk 108 trainers and Hawk 208 light-attack jets. Eight of these platforms will be utilised primarily for lead-in-fighter training, with the remaining ten being Light Combat Jets, according to the RMAF. The RMAF plans to purchase 36 LCA/FLIT systems in two phases, with 18 planes arriving in 2021 and the rest in 2025.
