India Looking to Sell Tejas Jets to Africa

印度向非洲兜售“光辉”战机

India's Hindustan Aeronautics Limited has claimed that multiple African nations including Nigeria and Egypt have expressed interest in the Tejas fighter jet.

India has been eying the African arms market amid a slowdown in Russian exports to the continent.

印度斯坦航空有限公司声称，包括尼日利亚和埃及在内的多个非洲国家对“光辉”战机表示了兴趣。

在俄罗斯对非洲大陆的武器出口放缓之际，印度一直在关注非洲武器市场。

以下是印度网友的评论：

There are a lot of smaller countries in dire need for a small fighter with good avionics. Gone are the days of the F-5 and Mig-21. The new F-16's are not affordable. This is a perfect time for India to sell.

有很多小国迫切需要一种装备良好航空电子设备的小型战斗机。F-5和米格-21的时代已经一去不复返了。新款F-16买不起。这是印度出售战机的最佳时机。

Correction, order for 97 additional Tejas has not been placed, the Defence Minister has only Accepted that such order is Necessary….

If, as you state, that order has been placed can you please  also inform us of how much this contract was worth? Who signed it and where? and how without any approval from Cabinet Committee on Security led by PM? If order is placed, it is a violation of Defence Acquisition Policy

Also kindly allow me to inform you that these 97 jets will only begin delivery after 2029

更正，97架光辉战机的订单还没有下，国防部长只是批准了....

如你所说，订单已经下了，你能告诉我们这个合同的金额是多少吗？

谁签的名?

没有总理领导的内阁安全委员会的批准怎么下单？

如果下了订单，就违反了国防采办政策。

另外，这97架飞机将在2029年之后开始交付

Great progress all around.

HAL needs revamp. It can not function like a PSU. It needs strong marketing and sales. More R&D budgets. Better hiring etc.

印度斯坦航空公司需要改革，不能像普通国企那样。它需要强有力的营销，更多的研发预算，招聘更多的人才等等。

A war in which India participates, would be a good platform to demonstrate its weapons. Africa is a small market because of, relatively, smaller conflicts. India must focus on its neighbourhood.

印度参与的战争将是展示武器的好平台。非洲是一个小市场，因为冲突相对较少。印度必须把重点放在邻国身上。

What will be price and in which currency India is planning to sell HAL Tejas ?

印度计划以什么价格出售光辉战机，用哪种货币交易?

We are waiting for MK-2 & the induction of Indeginious Kaveri Engine instead of the British Rolls-Royce Engine

我们正在等待MK-2和国产Kaveri发动机的引入，而不是用英国的劳斯莱斯发动机

Just Bharath's domestic defence needs to counter a 2.5 front war are so huge and so urgent that I don't know why or how they can consider export. Let's see by when they can replace the flying coffins with Tejas Mk1 (which now has counter in J-10C), perhaps they intend to use the Mig21 for Kamakaze strikes. Hope the ejection seats and parachutes work for our Air warriors.

Hopefully Tejas Mk2 whenever it comes can counter Porkistani F-16's. But we have no immediate counter for Chinese 5th Generation already in commercial production unless we lease Su-57 on lease which will go well with S400.

印度的国防需要同时应对2.5线战争，武器需求是如此巨大和紧迫，我不知道他们为什么考虑出口。他们什么时候可以用光辉Mk1取代飞行棺材，也许他们打算用米格-21。希望弹射座椅和降落伞对我们的空军战士有用。

希望光辉Mk2战机能够对抗巴基斯坦的F-16战机。但我们无法立即对抗已经商业化生产的中国第五代机，除非我们租赁苏-57，这将与S400很好地配合。

the news of countries showing interest has been there for quite a long time now , but we haven't seen any deals yet.

Also HAL order book seems full with Tejas , and helicopters for Indian armed forces. Will HAL be able to deliver in time and quality , as comparison to chinese jets which are often found to faulty , and countries faces issues with chinese jets.

有国家表示有兴趣的消息已经传了很长一段时间了，但我们还没有看到任何交易。HAL的订单似乎满是光辉战机和印度武装部队的直升机。印度斯坦航空公司能按时交付飞机吗?

中国战机经常出现故障，用过的都知道。

What happened to Malaysia acquiring tejas? She was full of confidence about it in her frantic reporting, even calling it a done deal

马来西亚不是说要买光辉战机，怎么样了?

她在报道的时候信心十足，甚至称这是板上钉钉的事

Facts..Checker

Tejas with a combat range of ONLY 400/500km, equivalent  to the range of a normal car on full tank.

Moreover, it's a jet made from the numerous imported western parts/engine.   Nothing indigenous except the simple obsolete delta design of the 80's.   Consequences and conditions for the usage, apply for approval before use. Common western condition of sales!

Tejas even failed to takeoff in recent Dubai Airshow due to technical issues of two jets sent. Not one but twice.  Amazing!

光辉战机的作战范围只有400/500公里，相当于一辆普通汽车满油时的行程。

此外，它是一架由大量进口西方零件/发动机制成的战机。除了80年代的简单过时的三角翼设计，没有任何本土的东西。

由于技术问题，光辉战机在最近的迪拜航展上甚至未能起飞。不是一次，而是两次。真是不可思议

可靠且负担得起，但没有经过实战检验，和中国货差不多

India needs to Master the Kaveri Engine first then it can start searching for customers because no one can trust USA, just think what happen to South Korea's F-35...........

印度要先掌握发动机，再寻找客户，因为不能信任美国，想想韩国的F-35会发生什么

Hope they are good quality.

希望质量过硬。

1st privatise HAL.

Try to compete south korea in emerging market.

Focus on hassle free after sales service.

Don't rush.. Defense market is very sensitive.. USA, Europe, Russia has earned it by continuous R&D and active participation in world wars.

They have a reliable model of industrialization. Always remember one quality negligence and name would be tarnish like chinese.. Cheap quality n all.

And most important.. Ignore trolls from failed states.. They themselves can't design a pen

首先私有化HAL，试着在新兴市场与韩国竞争。专注于无忧售后服务。

不要着急，国防市场非常敏感，美国、欧洲和俄罗斯通过不断的研发和积极参与世界大战，赢得了市场份额。

他们有可靠的工业化模式。永远记住，一个质量疏忽，名声就会像中国产品一样臭。物美价廉才是王道。最重要的是，忽略来自失败国家的喷子，他们自己连一支笔都不会设计。
