It is this very challenge to the dominance of US fighter aircraft like the F-16 in the international market that makes the engine delays in the Tejas programme seem more suspicious.

Tejas takes flight, but will the US let it soar​

It is this very challenge to the dominance of American fighter aircraft, such as the F-16, in the international market that makes the engine delays in the Tejas programme seem more suspicious.

What a retarded argument.
To export Tejas we'd need US approval anyway since it uses their engine

They should hire me as patrakar, i'd write a better article

The reason Tejas will never get export orders because it doesn't get domestic orders from the "users" who rather want to buy from 5 places, if not forced by the Govt to do otherwise.

Not everyone is like the Moroccan govt to take risk buying Tata WhAps which aren't even purchased by the home country.

You know easily by 2030 mk1 will basically be outdated, even against almost" all" of chinese 4th gen airframes forget stealthy ones, and not to mention the scary EW capability they are developing.

outdated thats very subjective.. Tejas MK1 is not outdated when it comes to training newly inducted fighter pilots,
Mk1 is not outdated when deployed for point Defense roles
Mk1 is not outdated when involved in support role with Rafales or MKIs
