When did GOI providing freebies? We are providing subsidy. Matter of fact there are subsidy which are good in nature and there is subsidy which are bad in nature. Till the forces boarded the bandwagon of Indigenous systems we will not going to be on a funding spree. Just see the Tejas MK2 saga, just 6 squadrons. IA still on two feet's, IAF on MRFA and IN in lack of planning with respect to Blue Water Navy equipment's.
Remember AMCA will be developed by ADA only. You will not be going to get Lockheed Martin/Boeing/Bae to act as subcontractor or even Design Consultant. Turkey, SK are fielding a flight where the subcontractors are these existing players. They have lot of available techs which they are selling it to them as a subcontractor. By value alone they will earn billions.
KF 21 Subcontractors:
1. Hanwha TechWin - SK (Engine spares) collaboration with GE.
2. Hanwha Systems - SK (Radar) Collaboration with Elta systems
3. LIG Nex1 - SK (MFR) Collaboration with SAAB.
4. LIG Nex1 - SK (Avionics)
5. United Technologies - USA (Cabin systems, cooling)
6. Triumph Systems - USA (Gearbox)
7. MB - (UK) Ejection Seats
8. Texstars - (USA) Canopy
9. Cobham - (UK) Missile ejection system, Oxygen systems etc.
10. Meggit - (UK) Brakes
11.MBDA - (France) Meteor missile
12.Elbit Systems - (Israel) Terrain following system
13. Curtiss -Wright - (USA) DAS.
This is the list of subcontractors they are helping them. In entire Indian aerospace history, we never got an offer where the above one said we are ready to supply components to manufacture India's own plane. For us it is always F16 production line in India, Rafale Production line in India, SU-75 production line in India.
Now the AMCA
1. HAL/GE - Engine
2. HAL/unknown - India own engine program
3. DRDO/Astra Microwave - UTTAM AESA
4. DRDO - EOTS
5. DRDO - Onboard Systems
6. SAMTEL/ELBIT - MFD.
7. MSME - Brakes
8. DRDO -DAS
9. MSME - Gearbox
10. Central Scientific Instruments Organisation - HUD Systems for Tejas.
12.HAL - Ejection Seat (May start to work on it)
13. DRDO - Aerial Refueling tech. Already work started.
Here the entire ecosystem is going to be Indian Companies. No Foreign can earn anything here. Thus, it is a complex undertaking which requires various things should be validated with AMCA.
So,stop shitting and concentrate on things we are having now. Tejas MK1A and MK2.
