I don't think that immediate war is possible with China even in next 10 years given situation. Tensions aren't that high.My question is about india security and safety & yes till now we are not giving our focus to our defence . ok i will buy your all arguments but tell me and see how capable we are for 2 front policy right now .
I am not against the R&D but on the name of R&D can we put our safety on risk . No we cant we need 5th gen planes within 3 to 5 years , as you know china has already inducted J20,SU35,S 400 & We are just following.
What will be answer for them .
We should buy few planes from fgfa & rest from our own AMCA we need something to counter china.
China is working on hyper-sonic missile while our bramosh -2 joint venture with Russia is not taking place.
Our iaf need seriously some advance war planes to counter su35, j20 .
Think about future & act now .
The problem left is Pakistan and we are more than enough prepared to take them out. If we don't carry out R&D, when we will? We will keep purchasing more & more expensive toys in upcoming decades too.
I guess military test of India's HSTDV vehicle will take place this year.China is working on hyper-sonic missile while our bramosh -2 joint venture with Russia is not taking place
As we have gained experience in management of projects after delays of years & decades in such projects and now can be more confident as we have developed a base in these technologies, its better to continue funding these projects and not step back ow after coming this far now.
Making better 4G fighters won't be a challenge now as we have design base now around which a fighter can be designed. And once AMCA prototype takes off in next 5-7 years, there will be a base ready for designing twin engine fighters too.
We can afford to wait for a decade more as an immediate war with PRC is highly unlikely to be around in near future. Though, if we purchase from foreign vendors again, we won't only kill our own projects & send them down the drain for few more decades, legacy will continue and India won't ever strengthen its technological base.
No one is going to research on project if Indian Armed Forces purchase from elsewhere and as much as late you start, later you'll finish.
