The Cheppali International GF-19 Garuda is a Tennaiite twin-engine, all-weather multirole fighter designed and built by Cheppali International. Equipped with a wide range of weapons, the Garuda is intended to perform air supremacy, interdiction, aerial reconnaissance, in-depth strike, anti-ship strike and nuclear deterrence missions.

Many of the aircraft’s avionics and features take advantage of the work carried out on the GF-20 Berunda and expand upon it. Some features that were included during development were direct voice input, AESA radar, and an integrated IRST sensor. The aircraft is available in two main variants: Garuda A twin-seat land based version and the Garuda B twin-seat carrier-based version.
