The race to supply Malaysia with light combat aircraft (LCA) is heating up, with Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) now offering joint production on its Hurjet trainer and several other front-line military planes.

At the Defence Services Asia (DSA) 2022 exhibition in Kuala Lumpur, TAI president and CEO Temel Kotil unveiled plans for joint manufacturing and asserted that it is supported by TAI’s investment in the Southeast Asian country.

TAI has already opened an engineering facility in Malaysia, which it plans to turn into an avionics hub, Kotil said. It appears that the corporation is eager to make more such lucrative promises to Malaysia, including exporting some of the most advanced defensive weaponry to the country.

The agreement with Turkey includes manufacturing of other advanced military weapons.

Is Malaysia going to start producing LCA, light combat aircrafts and selling them to other countries?
