India will showcase Tejas Mk-1 fighter jets at the upcoming Singapore Air Show, from February 15 to 18, the Indian Air Force said on Saturday, with the move aimed at tapping the export potential of the locally-made light combat aircraft (LCA). Three Tejas Mk-1 jets will take part in the air show. A 44-member IAF contingent reached Changi International Airport in Singapore to participate in the biennial event. “IAF will be pitching the indigenous Tejas MK-I aircraft alongside participants from across the world. The Tejas aircraft will be enthralling the audience with its low-level aerobatics and displaying its superior handling characteristics and manoeuvrability,” the IAF said in a statement. Tejas previously took part in the Malaysia, Dubai and Bahrain air shows.
The Tejas’s participation in the Singapore air show comes in the backdrop of India taking steps to transform itself from one of the world’s biggest weapons importers into an export powerhouse. The military hardware that holds export potential includes the LCA, Astra beyond-visual-range air-to-air missile, Akash surface-to-air missile system, BrahMos supersonic cruise missiles, tanks, sonars and a variety of radars, officials said.
