    AMCA - Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (HAL)

    Bombers are not worth the effort and money. Big bombers are only useful for long range operations. For bomb truck role you can afford and maintain 100s of drone for just a squadron of Bombers. Drones are perfect for this role to be Bomb or missile truck of future. Role of fighter aircraft too...

    First flight can happen by end of 2027 or early 2028. But induction for sure will not be possible before 2035.

    Bro... You are not understanding the numbers here coz you are only thinking from your end not even trying to understand what I am saying. Ferry range is calculated with maximum internal fuel. For Tejas Internal Fuel at 2450Kg with Gross weight 9800 (Which include 2 WVR missiles, So for...

    Tejas Mk1 have ferry range of over 1700km and IAF never been happy with that. A minimum 2k Km ferry range will be required for a medium weight class fighter of future. Both LCA and Mig29 can carry external fuel tanks but AMCA won't do it for stealth missions.

    17.5t is max weight category for MWF. There is a difference in both. Anyway till there is a first flight all these calculations are useless. No way it's gonna be as low as 3.8t internal fuel. That's what I believe.

    Evean that is still less than 2 tons. And that will make it just a bomb truck as there are no internal A2A missile, which is not a very realistic payload, is it? Now if you look at dimensions of AMCA they are bigger than F-35, with AMCA being sleek design. But that is because F-35 can carry...

    Stealth is not going to be much useful for carrier operation, so remove Internal Weapon bays and fill it with fuel?? But if there is no need of stealth then there will be 6 wing stations to be used. Which will allow fighter to carry many more PGMs. Also stealth is necessary against Air Defense...

    Black widow was more complex and less maneuverable because this it was tailless design. AMCA is not exactly like it. It more of a combination of both F-22 and F-23 but smaller.
