I thought Tejas was an "indigenous" fighter... Why does an indigenous fighter has only 50% of its parts made by India?

UAE May Buy LCA Tejas Fighter Jets Due To Combined US, Russian and Israeli Technology
October 18, 2018
Why is the UAE interested in Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) Tejas, developed by the Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL). One thing that might have attracted the UAE officials is that LCA Tejas has around 50% locally developed parts, while its engines are American, radar, helmet display and laser pod are of Israeli origin while Russians has supplied the missiles. This makes HAL Tejas a truly international, low-cost fighter jet.
Mohammed Ahmed Al Bawardi Al Falacy, UAE’s minister of state for defence affairs recently visited HAL facilities in Bengaluru and was given a briefing of the ongoing projects in the HAL. Al Falacy was taken around the Helicopter Complex, LCA Tejas Division and Hawk final assembly hangar. He displayed a keen interest in LCA Tejas,” HAL said releasing a statement.

The UAE minister also visited the Indian Air Force’s Aircraft and Systems Testing Establishment which conducts flight testing of aircraft, airborne systems and weapon stores, prior to their induction.
Earlier, the long-delayed LCA Tejas program successfully demonstrated its air-to-air refuelling capability during a trial involving an Ilyushin Il-78MKI tanker. The successful refuelling test was described as a big leap in the developmental stage and improved the possibilities of the fighter jet getting a final operational clearance certificate.
Currently, the HAL is working on an order of 123 such jets ordered by the Indian Air Force (IAF), which is thinking of additional purchase of the advanced version of the aircraft. Singapore, Egypt, and Sri Lanka had earlier shown interest in the jet, but they never revealed the status, officially, of such interest. The low cost and simple design of Tejas make it attractive for cost-conscious countries in Asia.

They need it to place the legendary " still in development phase" aircraft in the meusium to attract more tourists. It would be only place where tejas would be available for next 30 years.

First you induct in numbers and then think for export, with a production of just 8/year you can't produce 123 Tej@$$ for IAF by 2026 @Storm Force![]()

Doesn't Pakistan also have such intense red-tapism? Do things move faster there?Has uae not got a few squadrons operational already??? These arabs are slower than the indians.
Yes the do move faster..100 plus jf17 operational....program started decades after the tejas program.Doesn't Pakistan also have such intense red-tapism? Do things move faster there?
Not just these military affairs but in general. You know for instance, you have to get some official document from sarkari daftar etc..... You cannot say unless you actually see the ground zero on both sides of the border.Yes the do move faster..100 plus jf17 operational....program started decades after the tejas program.
Pakistan knows the wheel is round so we accept it and dont reinvent a square one.
