HAL LCA Tejas: Updates, News & Discussions

Countries buying Second-Hand F-16 over New Tejas, That's mean even Second-Hand F-16 are better than New Tejas. Simple Logic dear.

It’s not that simple. A country chooses a fighter jet based on what best meets its requirements, but even more crucial is the relationship it shares with the country that manufactures the aircraft.

JF-17 at least can target existing J-7 users.

Tejas has zero market outside of Indian Air Force, partly due to it having the GE engine but mainly because anything made in India takes way too long to get ready.

I don't think any country, apart from Pakistan, operates the JF-17 in significant numbers. Even China, which developed the aircraft, doesn't use it.
