The most important reason why Tejas is not a "safe" for some countries to purchase is because there are components used in the Tejas which are not "Indian origin", which makes the purchaser worry that if they are sanctioned by the IP-owner country of the said component, they might not be able to get the components in the event of repairs or maintenance. TBH, it has nothing due to geo-politics correctness, as some suggested in the comments.

[@vividshots9188]

@@vividshots9188 . Having parts made in a foreign country is not the same as having foreign parts. First it isn't true that F35 has Chinese made parts. However, even if the F35 were to have a part made in China, it is still not IP-owned by China. So, not it will never face the danger that the part will be unavailable, unlike the case of India. As India does not owned the IPs of those parts bought from UK, France or US, or Russia. For just one simple example, the ejection seat of all Hal's planes of every model is licensed from BAE. India did not design many parts of her military planes. They are mostly either entirely foreign manufactured, or foreign licensed but made locally in India.

Currently Tejas is the smallest and lightest in its class of supersonic combat aircraft. Tejas is a more capable, maneuverable, agile, and reliable aircraft than the JF-17. So far, JF 17 had 5 crashes vs Tejas with just 1 crash in 8 years of operation. Tejas has 4X better safety record than JF-17 Thunder. Just wait for updated version, Tejas Mk-2. These flights are best option for Aircraft vessel carriers.

And that is because IT WAS NOT MADE FOR OTHER COUNTRIES, HAL was not planning for this to be a world famous fighter jet, when designing tejas, the bureau had kept a single thing in mind, the needs of our air force, it can be mass produced and must have better capabilities than the mig 21 which is to be replaced. It wasn't made abiding by the needs of other countries or potential buyers, same way you wouldn't eat sauce instead of milk for breakfast.

Dubai 2021, LIMA 2019, Bahrain 2016. Each time the Tejas participated in an air show, the Pakistani team cancelled their JF17 participation. This formidable jf17 is not operated by its manufacturing country China and is only exported to poor countries. There were also recent reports in Greek publication pentapostgama about the poor construction of jf17 causing maintenance problems due to which the availability of jf17 in Pakistan Air Force happens to be only about 40%. The Chinese built airframe is already causing concerns due to its poor manufacturing quality. The jf17 situation in PAF is so bad that after buying 150 of these, PAF has now started buying the j10 fighters which actually get used in the Chinese Air Force and are considered a lot more reliable.

[@ViolentCabbage-ym7ko]

Okay but what does JF-17 have to do with countries rejecting Tejas? Countries are not buying Tejas or JF-17, they are buying FA-50. India's competition is not Pakistan but South Korea

[@vm8136]

@@ViolentCabbage-ym7kofirstly wrt jf17, it has Chinese/Russian components meaning it has low acquisition cost and it can be sold to almost anyone willing to shell out $$. Whereas Tejas has American, British and Israeli components so countries looking for small fighters like Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Argentina, gulf and almost half of the world is ruled out Secondly wrt your point about competition with s korea, inform me how many places where we have face it other than Malaysia? Exaggeration, falsehood, or plain stupidity??? Malaysia was a no go for Tejas from the outset, due to their Islamic hardline govt creating anti india rhetoric. I would say Tejas should not have participated in that competition as the result was well known in advance but regardless that’s not any reason to be pessimistic Further, the fighter aircraft sales are based upon geopolitical factors so that cannot be used as a yardstick to compare fighter aircrafts. Having said that, it also seems unlikely that Tejas will get any export customers soon but the development and improvements must continue with the mk2 version and beyond

[@ViolentCabbage-ym7ko]

@@vm8136 If Malaysia was a "no go" because it is an Islamic country, HAL wouldn't have set up a regional base in Kuala Lumpur and India wouldn't have offered to service Malaysia's Su-30Mkm fleet. As of now KAI is starting the production of KF-21 where else HAL's AMCA is still on the drawing board. It's obvious that FA-50 block 20 is better than Tejas Mk-1A and unlike Indians, Koreans are not known for delays that can last for decades!

[@devilsclaw6406]

Tejas design have flaws, designers are struck with old school designs. And not competing with modern day warfare although electronics are modern.

[@vm8136]

Which design flaws? Please point out a few. The delta wings are used by rafale, typhoon and gripen as well. Do all those aircraft have design flaws? Also help us understand which modern warfare is not competent in Tejas? As you point out yourself that the electronics are good, I understand you know that the mk1a has an aesa radar which is among the most modern

[@Ulatimber]

It's stable design and delta wing is also in rafale & eurofighter

[@ajey214]

That point I had always in my mind as to why is there a permanent air re-fuelling probe on Tejas. Maybe because of the style Mirage 2000 and Rafale didnt exist while designing LCA . Retractable probe is necessary even though a bit more mechanism necessary (and tht increases weight). Current gen fights have retractable Gripen, FA/18 etc.

Building aircrafts can become a quagmire without effective supply chain management. The assembly of an aircraft is a complex series of steps just like any other assembly. Each component or its respective LRU needs to be certified before it goes into the aircraft. The ordering of the parts or LRUs in the supply chain management system is a matter of timing to ensure the assembly personnel are working optimally with little downtime. These things are taken for granted in developed countries. It is a non issue. A robust manufacturing industry inspires confidence in customer, current and prospective. You cannot evade geo-politics.
