Personally, I think a delay with the AMCA Program is not a bad thing at all. As much of the current 5th Generation Technology needs to mature more. Then India will be in a better place on what is needed for the AMCA. As I've said all along India needs to think 6th Generation not 5th Generation...

This is why I said sometime ago that India should drop the MMRCA and purchase the F-35. Then India would have a Hi-Low Mix of FGFA's and F-35's to counter PAF and the PLAAF. Then after both are in service for several years. India could partner with the company of the most successful design. In...

Sorry, I see that now and I will delete it....

Similar to an earlier posting........ India Postpones Homegrown Jet Program | Defense News | defensenews.com NEW DELHI — India has postponed the development of the homegrown Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA) program, according to sources in the Indian Defence Ministry, because the...

Which, is why I have said India should forget the MMRCA. (i.e. Rafale). In my personal opinion I think India should cancel the former. Then in the Short-Term continue with the LCA MKII. Which, would mainly be twin seat models for the IAF and Indian Navy used as Advance Trainers. With a secondary...

May not be enough in another 10-15 years time.

Correct that next war is never like the last war.

Sorry, India needs much more than sub-systems. As it has little to no experience with Stealth to name just one. Which, will be at the heart of any 5th or 6th Generation Design. if the AMCA takes as long to develop as the current LCA. The odds are that it will also come up short. This is not...

Sorry, for the omission my mistake....

I think it's you that is not listening. Respectfully

Sorry, I forgot to include AMCA. When I was speaking about leap frogging from a 5th to 6th Generation Fighter. Which, I will correct,

I never said India would get a better TOT/offset deal with the F-35A as it will with the Rafale. Yet, the latter will be vastly outclassed by several 5th Generation Types entering service in the first half of the next decade. So, what is it gaining? In addition while it is important for India to...

Which, is why I think India should scrap the Rafale and instead purchase the PAK-FA and F-35 in the short-term. Then India can partner with one of the latter and jointly design and build a New 6th Generation Fighter.

This looks to much like a 5th Generation Design to me. I think the ACMA needs to jump this current fighter generation and develop a 6th Generation instead.

LOL The aircraft does not exsist at this stage...........

India can't go in alone in the desired timeline. Especially, when it already has so many critical programs currently on going. From the LCA, MCA, PAK-FA, and MMRCA. So, expect to see the Indian Navy to take a more direct route. Which, will likely see it purchase a lot of Naval Equipment directly...

I didn't start the point about "quick solutions". That said, it of course depends on what you define as "quick"? Nonetheless, I do expect to see India purchase the F-35C, Hawkeye, and EMALS for the IAC-2. Which, is many years off. Personally, I wouldn't be surprised if it was 3-5 years before...

NO, that was in reference to a quick solution for the Indian Navy. The AMCA is in the early concept stage. In short decades off.....

It's called the F-35C and don't be surprised if the Indian Navy. Places an order sometime over the next 2-3 years.
