Brazil can buy Tejas aircraft
According to information received from sources, Brazil is showing great interest in purchasing indigenous Tejas Mark 1-A fighter jets from India. This proposal can be a significant opportunity for the Indian defense sector. The Brazilian Air Force is preparing to buy new aircraft to increase its capacity.
At the same time, India is also showing interest in Brazil’s C-390 Millennium Transport Aircraft heavy lift aircraft. Discussions have already been held in this regard and a Brazilian delegation also visited India in September this year. If these defense agreements come to fruition, it will further strengthen the strategic and defense ties between the two countries.
