So, you get induction of next gen aircraft immediate? Usually takes 7-8 years.
IAC-2.
IAC-1
Come on, Navy has asked for details, not dismissed it.
Details design includes finalisation of avionics & engines. Doesn't mean you can't get full scale prototype (without main weapons & censors) in 2 years.
At least be convenient about that.
You are surely new on defence forums, otherwise you must be knowing the reason why people don't follow IDRW, be it good or bad news, IDRW is famous for inaccurate reporting.
Here I am not telling that I want aircraft right now. Please read first and try to understand that sentence after that you react. I am telling about the HAL's plan about AMCA that in 2019 they are planning to launch prototype and on or up to 2025 it will be ready for commission. And I also understand that every aircraft should take 7-8 years time for development.
I am damn sure that for INS Vikrant/IAC-1 Navy had already purchase Mig 29K. Just clear your knowledge or just visit the Wikipedia page or any other site. And for INS Vishal/IAC-2 Navy wants total 57 aircraft because that aircraft have capacity of 50-55 aircraft. Earlier IN wants Carrier based AMCA for INS Vishal but reality now they are finding foreign aircraft right now.
Whatever it is but the reality is HAL didn't started the development of AMCA right now. And maybe before mid of 2017 or the end of 2017 it won't start.
I am agree with you that design is frozen but still they are working on design only. Because if they are planning about engines and low RCS Skin etc. which means they are now are in development stage. And before 10-15 days the Director of New Delhi's ADA C. D. Balaji has told that the great majority work for the shape of the AMCA has been completed. This is the proof that not 100% design work is completed but they are ready to start the prototype development.
And main thing is that it is not matter that I am new on this site or not, but the main thing is whatever information we have should be correct. It's make difference between you an me. And you are not any individual institute which can give a certificate that which site is doing good or bad. I am visiting 4-5 different sites after that I am confirming that information is perfect and genuine.
