Ghatak UAV/UCAV (2 Viewers)

We can't handle AMCA on time, you want a B-21 like bomber

B21 is much larger, can carry 12-13 tons payload.

I'm asking for measly 4ton payload in iwb, no external payload. But with longer iwb to be able to carry "longer" standoff weapons.
25-30 ton mtow, 2 kaveri.

For example Tejas can carry 4 ton payload.
Tejas mk2 6.5 tons.

No new tech needed, can borrow from ghatak and amca program and other programs underway.

We all can keep our opinions, but i don't wanna go in circles repeating the disadvantages of boomerangs with weak engines.

Don't you desire our jets to EASILY defeat Chinese Hongdu GJ-11 Sharp Sword & CH-7?

Everything costs money. I would prioritize a future manned fighter + fighter UCAV 1st.

If you want 25-30 tons MTOW, that's like AMCA only + you get a fighter-bomber wingman UCAV. The AMCA itself can be turned into UCAV.

UCAVs also need to be hack free, fly collision free in group, should have intelligence if links are jammed.
So let our DoD 1st demonstrate these elementary things 1st.

, Zircon, Kinzal, etc or IRBMs can be turned into VLR-ARM.

LRU integration is going on , does this mean that the airframe is semi-ready? @randombully thoughts?
