Brazil weighs Tejas Mk1A vs JF-17 Block III to replace F-5 jets

The Brazilian Air Force is evaluating India's Tejas Mk1A and Pakistan's JF-17 Block III to replace its ageing F-5 jets. Brazil requires a cost-effective, lightweight fighter for secondary defence roles to complement its F-39 Gripen fleet. A potential barter deal, trading Brazilian C-390M transports for Indian Tejas jets, is reportedly under consideration.
