The 2nd line referred here is the line in Aircraft division...Kya Kya Kya ..2nd line is operational !!!!!.. unbelievable, we are china or what?
Absolutely not. They are holding Military exercises with Pakistan and giving away their country's infrastructure to China. No way should we give them Mk1A. Not at all.Out of curiosity - and if anyone has a view - should India try to export Tejas Mk1A to Sri Lanka?
According to idrw.org, Sri Lanka is interested in boosting defence ties with India as China tightens its grip on Sri Lanka. Would it be a good idea to supply Indian fighters to such a country? I am thinking in terms of preserving the confidentiality of Tejas Mk1A and its systems. I presume India would not want details of Tejas Mk1A leaked to the Chinese.
Agreed. Why give an undue advantage to China. The first Mk1A given to Sri Lanka would find it's way on the first boat at Hambantota the same evening and completely ripped apart within the week in China.Absolutely not.

Not to mention that SL wud most likely use those jets to kill our fishermen anyway...they are better with the refurbished KfirsAgreed. Why give an undue advantage to China.

doesnt matter at all...even after the sale contract is signed pakistanis will be shouting that samosa tejas is a failed fighter, IAF rejected it...tea was fantastic...blah blah blah and other shit...however this will certainly raise eyebrows because Tejas wud be winning a contest where JF17 was a contender...but then they can always find solace in the fact that they help destroy an entire nation of Afghanistan...!Does the preceding about palm oil signify that Malaysia is about to order Tejas?
IIRC Indonesia is also keen to swap palm oil for fighters.
Apart from Pakistanis, who cares what Pakistanis have to say about Tejas? If Malaysia does order JF17, won't most observers see that as a Muslim country giving preference to ordering from another Muslim country, rather than JF17 being the best aircraft to meet Malaysia's needs within cost constraints?doesnt matter at all...even after the sale contract is signed pakistanis will be shouting that samosa tejas is a failed fighter, IAF rejected it...tea was fantastic...blah blah blah and other shit...however this will certainly raise eyebrows because Tejas wud be winning a contest where JF17 was a contender...but then they can always find solace in the fact that they help destroy an entire nation of Afghanistan...!
Sales negotiations are done by the Chinese because it's a Chinese jet with the development and production infrastructure cost borne by both Pak and China. If you look at their operators, you get a clear idea of the Chinese influence- Pakistan(CPEC and payoff to Generals), Myanmar (run by Military junta which has CCP's support), and Nigeria (10% of its external debt owed to EXIM bank of China~ 5 Billion USD). It's a decent fighter for its price tag but the sales have influence and coercion written in Mandarin all over them.Apart from Pakistanis, who cares what Pakistanis have to say about Tejas?

How does the politics work on this one, I wonder. China is the antagonist in the region; Pakistan is allied to China. What happens if there is a lot of tension between China and Malaysia - can Pakistan be relied on to keep supplying spares/consumables/tech support?

Sounds to me like Malaysia would be out of its mind to buy JF-17. I don't see the point of Malaysia even considering it.Sales negotiations are done by the Chinese because it's a Chinese jet with the development and production infrastructure cost borne by both Pak and China.

This would have looked less likely if China had not carried out those airspace violations in the recent past. People from these countries in SCS, especially their governments, don't have a very negative image of the Chinese in general, as hyped by the media. The construction projections do bring jobs (the common man doesn't understand the economics of it) and give the govt to show something for its work.Sounds to me like Malaysia would be out of its mind to buy JF-17.

Yes, the LIFT variant which will have the elements of combat teaming system training as well. Test Pilot HV Thakur explained it during an expo-I note that HAL has offered Tejas to Australia which is looking for a replacement for its Hawk trainers.
What happened to US competition ? r we out ?Yes, the LIFT variant which will have the elements of combat teaming system training as well. Test Pilot HV Thakur explained it during an expo-
