Saurav Jha @SJha1618 The AMCA project will not take that long If firm ASQRs are made on the basis of technology readiness levels with producibility in mind. 5:10 AM - 9 Oct 2017

Are AMCA-1 and AMCA-2 for different purposes - one for air superiority and other for ground attack?

Myth Buster: About MTOW of AMCA The Empty weight of F-35A is 13,199 kg and its Maximum Takeoff Weight is 31,800 kg. So it can carry a total load (Internal+External) of 18,601 kg (MTOW-Empty Weight). But this figure differs if it is calculated another way. F-35A can carry 8,382 kg of internal...

AMCA will be stealthier than J-31 and J-20. Tejas is stealthier than Rafale (Airframe wise). Thus our engineers are mature enough now to incorporate more advanced stealth aspect to AMCA. My only concern is how they will mask the outward engine section as that is the most sophisticated part. F-16...

Breaking News, AMCA Project To Be Complected In 2019: Project Sources Confirmed Posted on February 21, 2017 thestrategictimes Posted in Aerospace News, Airforce News, Indian Defence News Noida: We recently contacted our source in HAL who is working with AMCA project, and we asked him about...

Sent a mail to Mr. Bharat Karnad. His reply was this..... AMCA Timeline 4:44 pm Me: °°°Cmde C.D. Balaji, chief at the Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA) met with Livefist at the Aero India show for a chat on the programme. The team at ADA expects full-scale engineering development till...

By 2035, technology will mature too much. AMCA, by then, will not be a fifth generation aircraft, but technically 5.5 gen.

You can't close an ambitious project like AMCA like this! It will be suicide blunder for BJP. Obviously Sputnik is speculating as it most of the times do.

No, I smell some stink in this. May be IAF

I am really not happy about it. AMCA is a must. And why are they planning production of 1A in 2021? It should start from say 2019. After success of 1A, then jump to AMCA (shelving it is not a good idea).

1MiG-21 Bisons will be the last to retire, but they will be obsolete long before their airframe hours run out 2The oldest Jaguars will have to be retired between 2020 and 2025, unless a comprehensive upgrade, overhaul and life-extension programme is executed soon 3With a production licence...

[Here I am posting an article by an American author (Name at the end). The article contains very negative analysis (with very little positive analysis) of Indian capabilities as a fighter jet producer. I shall say that he is mocking. The author has presented same hawkish view on Tejas fighter...

@scatterStorm & @Indx TechStyle, do not underestimate ADA. After releasing the inconsistent weapon bays pics, they would have taken into account the expert's reactions. Wait and see the result. Astra-2 will have small diameter and folded fins. They will make the depth somehow right to...

AMCA will have IRST (according to ADA), but can it have conformal IRST like Raptor? And what about EOTS for ground striking?

Yes, 2025 is the worst case. Lets go by it. At that time INS Vishal'll be closed to induction too. I don't want Rafale-M. 90% works of N-AMCA would have finished by then & it should support EMALS. IAF & IN'll get a high level of stealth aircraft if current vlo design translates to production...

I am confident that AMCA will get IOC before 2025.

Something inside me tells me that AMCA would be more advanced than F-35, J-31. It should be medium multirole fighter, the future variant of Rafale. I think Govt. should not wait for Tejas. 36 Rafales are enough. 37th should be a 5th gen AMCA.

Then SP3 will get Rafale coating. AMCA coating?? Can it carry nukes or not??

When shall it fly? When shall we have 500 of these? Will AMCA have the capacity to carry nuclear weapons?
