You think USA will give you any know how, let alone allow you to manufacture F-35 in India, that too a paltry order of one squadron of F-35? IAF has already stated its dissatisfaction with PAK FA. If PAK FA can bridge those gaps, IAF will buy it. Simple. BTW, why do you think AMCA will not...

:facepalm: Why not buy a few French, Korean and Turkish 5th gen fighters along the way as well. And since all the money is being poured to foreign projects, why not just shut down the AMCA program. Its not like we have money to waste on domestic fighter projects. In fact, we can keep doing this...

I am not calling you anything. I am calling your views alarmist. Sometimes, even I become alarmist about things. For example, I am very wary of the Americans trying to destroy our indigenous industry and of their agreements like CISMOA that aim to compromise our sovereignty. Now you can name and...

His point is valid, but alarmist. We are not "helpless". We are simply in a bad position. A disadvantageous position. We have already started working on AMCA in case you are not aware. If China was to attack us today, even if they attack with all the J-20 they have, the IAF is not going to...

Stop being such an alarmist. Chinese J-20 is far from ready to take on a layered air defence. In time, the PLAAF will start fielding J-20 in greater numbers and readiness levels in Chengdu. Around that time, AMCA would be in prototype phase. Maybe IAF will purchase some Su-57 off the shelf. But...

Thanks for understanding the importance AMCA holds for us. Now, as far as replacing the failed FGFA bid is concerned, I would be more than happy if we decided to show the Muricans the middle finger on their plans to sell us the F-35. I would also be more than happy to see an aircraft like the...

I don't have the patience to state the same thing twice. Not my fault that some numb-headed individual finds it hard to understand. Nevertheless, I will say again. FSED-I (Full Scale Engineering Development Phase I) has already started in AMCA program. Technology demonstrators of AMCA will...

Please elaborate. You are not making much sense to me. No. First prototype vehicle of AMCA will fly in 2025. NGTD-1 and NGTD-2 will fly in 2023 and 2024. Point is, preliminary design for our airframe is already done. We cant dump all that work and join SCAF now. If we collaborate (I am certain...

Talk about taking a step backwards. :facepalm:

AMCA TD fabrication EOI is already out. Vendor will be selected by this year end. Tech demonstrators will fly by 2023. Prototype Vehicle phase will start in 2025. IOC for AMCA should be achieved by 2030, albeit with foreign components. Preliminary Deisgn Review has been completed. Read this:-...

Sorry bro, but AMCA is already finished preliminary design phase. So even if we collaborate with France for a 5th gen fighter, it will most likely be done in order to install advanced avionics for AMCA. BTW, what is the SCAF?
