Three months ago, the country's homegrown aircraft LCA Tejas had participated during the Dubai air show in 2021 and enthralled the audience out there.Â
As per the expert, India is attempting to tap the light combat aircraft market in Southeast Asian nations. Tejas is a strong contender for the Malaysian Air Force's tender for 18 fighter jets.

Powered by a GE F404-GE-IN20 engine, the LCA Tejas can carry a payload of 3.5 tonnes.
Prior to this, LCA Tejas had participated in Bahrain International Air Show in 2016, Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace Exhibition in 2019 in Malaysia, Dubai Air Show in 2021, and had displayed its skills.Â
Just after LIMA in 2019, the Malaysian Air Force had evinced interest in the LCA Tejas.
