According to a reporter from Hindustan Times , the general manager of Hindustan Airlines told reporters that Malaysia will purchase Indian "Lightning" and Tejas fighter aircraft .
When I saw the news about India, I started to not believe it. After all, this Tejas fighter was born after more than 30 years of pregnancy, and it is still a "hybrid". The avionics and radar are mainly Israeli , and the engine relies on the United States and Stan Airlines. He also became famous for crashing out of a plane. Later, I read in the Malaysian newspaper that it was indeed true.
Malaysian local newspapers also reported this matter. The previous intention to Xiaolong is probably dead. Indeed, Malaysia intends to purchase 18 Lightnings with a unit price of US$50 million. If Malaysia dares to eat this crab, let the third brother do it. Netizens were very excited.
Indian netizens are not calm now. Some netizens started shouting Long live Modi , defeat the dragon, and the glory is the best fighter. Some netizens even compared the glory to gold and the dragon to stone. I have to admire India. He is very talkative. This may be because there are many cows in India and the streets are full of cows, so there are many boasts. However, some Malaysian netizens commented that if they bought this, they would have a flying coffin.
In fact, the Tejas Fighter is not as good as the Xiaolong in terms of performance and stability, and is more expensive than the Xiaolong. However, in my opinion, if I give up the more cost-effective and more stable Xiaolong, I guess I am still wary of the big Eastern countries. After all, there is still a dispute between Nanhai and Malaysia.
In the international arms market, in addition to cost performance, the most important thing is performance in actual combat. Since Russian weapons did not perform well in the Russia-Ukraine war, there should be a partial shift in the Russian arms market in the future. This should be an opportunity for other countries.
