According to alpha defense guy, issue is with GE f-114 engine. Deal hasn't been finalized yet, there are some objections from US side. If true, AMCA and TEDBF is fucked as well.

Won't design change with different engine.

Is this the last plane we will ever build?

Don't have wind tunnel, have to wait till france gives us slot. Don't have test bed for jet engine, have to wait till Russia gives us slot. Don't have sufficient testing courses for artillery, our private manufactures have to wait for slot. This is a country not serious about defence.

Damn!! Checked that twitter thread, never knew Sancho is Gripen simp !!

Meanwhile kf-21 took first flight :

No, there is a reason they were never offered to india in mrfa. You think if tomorrow China pays enough money US will sell them f-35 ?

Yes, US with defence budget of 835 billion USD is starving for money. US is not going to sell India F-35 untill India bends the knee and becomes US vassal. Us doesn't give its latest tech to just "friendly" nations. It only gives them to its vassals.

America is not selling India F-35, not until they have gen 6th fighters fully operationalized. India is not a treaty ally and there are too many russian linkages and radars to russians that may potentially leak info.

Aren't all migs supposed to be retired by 2025. Also, I expect spare parts availability for Russian parts to go down if they are so heavily sanctioned, causing decline in availability rates for su-30
