Brazil May Consider HAL Tejas to Complement Gripen E Jet

The country plans to also evaluate India-made helicopters

To wrap this #Brahmos minithread up, the sole reason why the #Philippines is even considering acquiring the #HalTejas is that the Brahmos-NG (New Generation) is coming soon. Among the improvements is a substantial decrease in weight which enables a light combat aircraft (#LCA) like the #Tejas to carry two of them.

The #US, #Sweden and #SouthKorea don't have operational supersonic cruise missiles so the #F16/ #Gripen/ #FA50 can't give us that capability.

A second reliable source cites the same number of MRFs to be purchased and the same two primary candidates - Sweden's #Jas39Gripen & the US #F16. This is the first one that mentions #India's #HALTejas which is technically a Light Combat Aircraft or #LCA (like our FA-50), it's not an #MRF.

The news is supposed to be officially announced soon.
