This will may happen, higher chances, if the procurement of MRFA goes to ditch just like almost every other rfi procurement. MMRCA 1.0 has left such a bad taste that even imagining any big fighter orders is hard.

I guess for every aviation enthusiast in India, it's better to say that come back after like 2026/27. AMCA, mwf or tedbf will come only after that time period. For IAF, we will likely see strength going even down further now that nothing is going as planned. Even the much taunted MMRCA won't...

Yeah, openly weighing on Gripen E and calling it a good for for IAF while perfectly knowing that it's essentially like killing Tejas mk2. Vayu deserves every bunch of that bashing.

The end result depends on the between processes approved in time. Sadly in our country, between process approval speed is as good as bunty's soap from lifebuoy ad, more so when the end user has given so many rather condescending remarks imo towards Tejasmk2 while simping as hard as he can for...

I mean if HAL CMD is asking for ORCA, there must be a good reason,right?? IAF goes with it or not is another matter though.

The rate at which they are building and the amount of types they will have, 5th gen, it wouldn't be wrong to assume with PLAAF having 400+ 5th gen by the 2040 particularly for India. We can't really match them in economy, that's why AMCA plus the LO versions of Tejas and TEDBF along with CATS...

Ok so understand there are two versions of 4.5 gen I am talking about, one is TEDBF with frontal stealth only and the other is kf21 with all around stealth and Internal weapon Bays(IWB), except than these all other things are same between the two, maybe some extra coatings on KF21 and conformal...

Can anyone comment about the low observable aspect of TEDBF vis a vis kf21. If I am not wrong kf21 was designed with uprgadability in the sense that it can be upgraded to 5th gen theoretically while same is not possible for TEDBF due to structure design. I think kf21 easily beats tedbf on...

So our current TEDBF/ORCA? concept is reduced observable at best. In my opinion there should be a detailed study on low observable fighters(5gen minus) which can be produced en mass yet avoid the hassle of expensive manufacturing and all the other nitty gritty of true stealth plane. Like how do...

AMCA induction in 2035?? Is this mk2 version?? Wasn't AMCA mk1 supposed to be fielded by 2030? ORCA concept is being pushed to IAF by HAL from this early stage itself and can be considered doable. Producing TEDBF only for a limited number for Navy doesn't makes sense, I guess ORCA is inevitable...
