Tejas का पहला ग्राहक - LCA Tejas Deal with Nigeria?

Nigeria's Air Force (NAF) seeks a replacement for its ageing fleet of Chinese-supplied Chengdu F-7s, copies of the MiG-21. They need a versatile platform, a potent successor to tackle security threats and assert regional influence. Enter the Tejas Mk1A and JF-17, both vying for this lucrative contract.
India's Tejas Mk1A boasts numerous advantages. Its lightweight agility promises nimble manoeuvring, crucial for counter-insurgency and border patrol missions. Its indigenous avionics and weapons platforms offer greater control and flexibility. Moreover, India's offer of credit lines with low-interest rates adds financial allure. NAF officials have been visibly impressed by the Tejas' capabilities, with talks progressing steadily.
China's JF-17 counters with its own set of enticements. Three JF-17 Block-ll jets already grace the NAF inventory, familiarizing pilots and maintenance crews. Beijing now offers the upgraded Block-III variant, powered by indigenous WS-13 engines, reducing dependence on sanctions-hit Russia. They even propose upgrading existing planes or swapping them for brand new Block-III models, highlighting their recent push to secure further orders.
