So FUFA and ghatak are different after all.

Soch samajh kar spoiler hatana...dill toot jaayega
I'm 80% sure the pic is most probably of DRDO's Archer UAV, just without the wings and canards; not some futuristic mumbo jumbo

Spoiler

On a side note there are few people here who jumps right in to defend Alpha Defence like they're the Jane's or something

FUFA got its tender released
So it has high probability of being a new project

Take it with a grain of salt until official confirmation

So FUFA and ghatak are different after all.

They were always different in aero India they said fufa will be derived from ghatak not that ghatak is fufa

 

[NoobWannaLearn]

Rest is ok for prototype but landing gears feel so weird like old nishanth

 

[Lonewarrior]

Btw, can the experts here clear my doubt on why exactly this Futuristic Unmanned Fighter Aircraft is lacking an air intake!?
I hope they don't plan to fly it with a effing wankel engine and propeller!

Think its the Rustom drone in a transport configuration which is why it has propeller, canards, and half of wings removed.

Arre ha Prabhu...aur kitti baar bolu, abhi waala Archer hai wo. Pehle waala Rustom-1 hai wo.

Copying from Lonewarrior for the side panel

See the rear end, landing gear etc.


edit:

I was slightly wrong, propeller is also there

Very faint but visible.

Ye saala Alpha waala FUFA ke naam pe kya mast Mamu banaya hai

I though one of these could be air intakes but then with the last reply from sword of darkness showing propellers all i can say is

And so the circus continues again..... First it was a RFI akin to armata now it is a RFI akin to Abrams x and KF 51 tanks concept. Just see the crew reqmt of 4 and an autoloader is also needed.
My only hope for FRCV becoming real is only something developed by DRDO and made by a DCPP mode with a private player.
I doubt any private player has the guts to make any tank of their own, after all it's not a halwa. Makes you wonder what this make1 sh*t is all about when you perfectly know the situation of these private cos and then giving them such critical projects.


These two private scredrivered tanks coming to your neighborhood next defexpo soon

FRCV is under Make-1, so unless these foreign OEM are willing to share their IP rights for their tank design with India, I don't see a foreign tank landing on Indian shores for FRCV.

Actually it is...but our private defence industry is unaware of the word innovation
