AMCA - Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft


Is this a joke ? I recall Ninda Turtle issuing a public statement exactly this time in 2021 asking relevant agencies to conclude their negotiations in a year.

It's been 4 years since his public statement & 3 years since the negotiations were to have been concluded.

Now they're actually taking another full year before the decision is made post which they'd take another year or year & a half to ink the agreement which means work on the proposed TF won't start out before mid to late 2027 or early 2028.

Add 12 years to certify the TF & we're in 2040. That's around the time we get to fit in the TF into the AMCA Mk-2 for trials. 5 years in trials & the FA should hopefully receive its FOC .

Add 2-3 more years for serial production to commence which is more like 2050 by which time 7 th Gen FAs from China & the US will be receiving their FOCs.

There seems to be no sense of urgency or appreciation of the magnitude of the problem the IAF faces , consequently jeopardizing the security of the nation . Total apathy ! Absolutely pathetic state of affairs !!
 
End of which year- 2025? 2030?

Being optimistic, let's assume Safran agree a 110kN engine deal before end 2025. Will GOI agree to fund the deal and when will they agree?
Its part of series of sweet nothing statements that are issued Biennially. as part of government tradition.

I watched most of their videos. All generic choreographed talks.
Nobody asked precise questions like discussed on any forums.
Infographic something, static model something eles, slide something else.:noidea:
Some people are fine with anything on IOC jet, whether it will have EOTS or external pod, 4 or 6 AAMs, custom AGMs or not, ladder & IFRP increasing RCS, nobody worries :fyeah::gtfo:
But AI & other 6gen tech will be there :confusedd:🤔
