Tejas and Thunder to be at " Striking Distance " at Bahrain Air show !

[Muhammad Omar]

will JF-17 also performs there??

 

[AyanRay]

One of the jet should be a twin seater. Just for show-off, that LCA also has a trainer version.

If the news is true, then get ready for exclusive troll wars on 21'st of jan till 23'rd of first month of new year 2000 & 16.

No reason why it shouldn't. After all Pakistan is looking for buyers.

 

[HRK]

Are we participating? I thought JF-17 is not going to this airshow. Anyone can confirm this?

no confirmation from PAF till now ....

This is confirmed, PAF shall be at BIAS. PAF chief will also attend.

LSP 4 and LSP 7 have flow, one more is at Standby here in India.

Tejas will go to BIAS in this sequence. Bangalore-Jamnagar-Muscat-Bahrain.

It has already flown from Jamnagar.

Your aerobatic team Sherdils will be there isn't it?

Aerial displays play a large role in sales. Bahrain though will remain a western customer for a long time to come. The middle eastern kingdoms depend on it.

However, expect contracts from northern African countries which could be a reason for good competition.

SP1 of LCA is inducted in IAF but still LCA Tejas is called LCA Tejas not IAF LCA tejas as its the HAL who is participating in BIAS and not IAF hence its HAL LCA Tejas

Because it is not build by IAF.
It is HAL LCA Tejas.

Just like LM F-16 or Boeing F-18.

IAF not yet got its hands on Tejas in big numbers.Hence DRDO And HAL are promoting with its own test pilots.

@AyanRay Sadly no trainer will be there. LSP 4 and LSP 7 are single seat
