Oh really! How do you conclude in that way!?Let the SU-57 ' Feather' ('Run Forest ruuuunnn' LOL) go into mass production, we will be the first to call for some.
Why actually no? The conclusion itself is rather logic and sound, taking into consideration the fleet composition. It's always easier and more convenient to have the same manufacturer platforms with regard to spare parts and maintenance, for instance.
Its stealth, the watcher generally doesnt know where the single feather ends up floating in the air to its own shape and design. Also the founding designer is a great one.
I'm saying late 5th gen birds like AMCA / kf-x could get these technologies like drone wingman and gan radar in mid life upgrade / later production blocks. Just like late 4th gen birds like rafale incorporated aesa and ew / active stealth components .
Yes you're right all these technologies can be incorporated in the airframe of a fifth gen aircraft in its upgrade but still it is an upgraded fifth gen aircraft since the airframe is of the same old design, for example, LM f21 - which is on offer to india for 114 mmrca 2 competition - incorporated many fifth gen technologies yet it remains upgraded f16 because of its old airframe design. In other words, one main difference between fifth gen and sixth gen fighters is in respect of their airframe design i.e. the latter airframe will be a gen ahead of the former. For example, Franco-German Next Generation Fighter sports a delta wing with no vertical surfaces airframe, a model of NGF was showcased in Paris at Euronaval 2018.
Nice poetry on surki57..[emoji8][emoji7][emoji7][emoji8][emoji8]
Two big bays with four weapon stations ,and capacity to carry 3ton of payload including fuel ....
Some one on another forum is saying that 6 A2A missiles can be carried internaly.
Yeah its possible .....................
That must be 3 tons of weapon payload excluding internal fuel capacity. F-35 can carry 8 tons fuel internally. Internal fuel capacity of AMCA is debatable as its assumed combat radius will be around 1000km which is a very respectable figure because internal fuel capacity is 4 tons if I am right. Wiki says with 8 tons fuel, F-35's combat radius is just above 1200km. So what magic fuel AMCA planners have in secret if AMCA would be able to cover up 1000km with 4 tons fuel.
More like malnourished F35 lol ,lets see what self boasting turks can achieve
Im not talking about the internal fuel, but the fuel carried in small DT so that they are accommodated into the weapons bay...
Rafale carries 4.8 ton fuel AMCA will be larger. Easily expect 6 ton+ fuel. Stealth demands more internal fuel and hence bigger size.
Yes but amca jet carry internal fuel 6tns
Because we displayed the AMCA Tejas Mk1A Tejas MK2 N-AMCA at our own Aero India 2019 in February.
