AMCA - Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft

[Pundit Pikachu]

Su-57 is not true 5gen due to shape issues, etc, but it is like 4.8gen, better than any Su-3X. So LCA cannot be compared to Su-57 on any parameter like weight, stealth, agility, payload, electricity, EW, etc.

I am not sure if I worded it wrong or you understood it wrong I am not comparing Tejas with Su 57 instead what I am trying to say is that Tejas is closer to the proverbial perfect 4.5th gen aircraft than SU 57 is closer to the proverbial perfect 5th gen aircraft

Seeing Dassault Aviation's recent tie-up with TATA Advanced Systems to manufacture Rafale's fuselage in India makes me optimistic about the TATA group being given the responsibility of producing the AMCA.
Along with TATA, we can rope in more private players for AMCA's production. Manufacturing an advanced aircraft like the AMCA quickly and in big numbers will require a joint effort by both PSUs and Private Sector Companies.
My rudimentary understanding of economics tells me that private players always look for profit as their first priority.
With this in mind, I don't know how willing the TATA group would be in production of AMCA because being a private player it wouldn't want to stick it's hands into something which wouldn't give it profit.
Ideally we need to showcase developments in the AMCA program indicating steady progress (Debatable) which will encourage participation from the private sector, and not shy them away.

What made you think AMCA project ll nt provide profit ? This mmrca is last mmrca . IAF ll only buy local fighterjets after that or with a tie up with another country . IAF is very large and maintain large number of fighter jets and other assets . India is growing and ll have large defence spending due to security risks . Google search income of chinese and American aerospace companies . Any company or group of company that get it's hand in AMCA will lead Indian aerospace manufacturing of future . It's a gold mine .

Ummm , so just confirming some news for everyone . Project was sanctioned last year and prototype manufacturing is going on . So were the recent statements by the Def minister only related to the serial production of aircrafts? and not the prototypes
