Joining the 6th gen program is a great idea, but does the government of India Have the time and funds to divert from its current plan and join a foreign project? Can we trust the British? The Italians and the Japanese? History says we cannot and should never trust them. The British sabotaged the Marut program and gave us horrible engines which did not allow the aircraft to become a supersonic fighter. Italy and Japan were our foes in WW2. Let's stick with the Russian federation, the United States and not these backstabbers.
