Jodhpur: Egypt is exploring the possibility of buying light combat aircraft Tejas and the advanced light helicopter Dhruv from India, ThePrint has learnt.
While talks have been going on since last year, sources informed that a high-level Egyptian delegation visited the facilities of the Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) this week.
This comes days after Egypt concluded its first International Air Show which saw significant Chinese presence and the first showcase of China’s J-10 fighter jets in Africa. There are rumours that Egypt is going in for the J-10s.
Notably, HAL was also in Egypt for the air show to demonstrate its products.
Sources in the Indian defence establishment told ThePrint that Egypt is looking at procuring about 18 Tejas Mk1A aircraft from India.
Not just Tejas, the Egyptians are also interested in buying the Dhruv helicopters for surveillance, transportation and medical evacuation, sources said.
As reported by ThePrint last year, the sale of Tejas, if and when done, will also see a maintenance, research and overhaul (MRO) facility in Egypt.
