Two Tejas light combat aircraft will take part in the Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace Exhibition (LIMA-2019) in Malaysia next week, at a time when the Southeast Asian country is planning to buy new fighter jets.
“It will provide an opportunity to Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF) to assess the capabilities of LCA,” an Indian Air Force spokesperson said on Friday. The maritime and aerospace exhibition will be staged at Langkawi from March 26-30. The IAF said the Indian contingent, which left the Kalaikunda air base on Friday, consists of two Tejas fighters, a C-130J Super Hercules special operations plane, an IL-76 heavy lifter, 27 officers, 42 air warriors and 11 personnel from the Hindustan Aeronautics Limited.
