Brazilian delegation visiting India, sale of combat aircrafts on the table

India and Brazil have been growing close militarily. As the Brazilian delegation is visiting India, Indian Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) Tejas and helicopters and the probable sale of Brazilian Embraer C-390 Millennium to the Indian Air Force (IAF) are on the table. India might opt for the C-390 Millennium, the latest heavy lifter in the world, which is faster and more efficient than its American counterpart, should Brazil go for the Indian fighter jet LCA Tejas. IAF Chief Air Chief Marshal VR Chaudhari met the Brazil Air Force Chief Lieutenant-brigadier Marcelo Kantiz Damasceno recently. Damasceno also visited the Indian aircraft maker Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) in Bangalore.
