After buying Chengdu J-10C fighter jets from China, Egypt is reportedly negotiating with India to acquire Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) Tejas light fighter jets .
HAL is said to be in talks for the sale of 18 Tejas Mk1A fighter jets to the Egyptian Air Force along with setting up an MRO facility in Egypt.
A high-level Egyptian delegation visited HAL facilities this week to review the offering.
Apart from the Tejas fighter jets, HAL is also in talks to supply Dhruv Mk3 light helicopters for transport, medical evacuation and surveillance roles to Egypt.
This comes days after Egypt concluded its first International Air Show EIAS 2024 which was also attended by an Indian delegation.
