Tell me something , when do you expect our ACs to go to the SCS or ECS or the Yellow Sea to challenge China ? If your answer is anywhere between now & 2040 , I won't bother pursuing the matter with you .

However if you claim we lack a 65,000 ton AC with a CATOBAR possibly with N propulsion , a must if we're to take on China in their own backyard , I'd ask you when is it do you expect such an AC to materialize ?

If your answer is post 2050 , then that's exactly when you'd have the N-AMCA or any other analogue of it .

It's not us going to challenge china, it's chinese carrier coming to us to challenge any blockade we might do near Malacca.

Then ask yourself why do you need a N-AMCA when an AMCA can do the same job ?

That slide also says Deck Based AEW Aircraft. Pls show me an AEW Aircraft that can take off from a STOBAR AC.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves & a be a prisoner to our mindset. That slide represents INs plans for the future.

As I said few posts back. The Timeline is basically an way of checking the feasibility of the TEDBF.

With 3rd AC on hold. We have Two carriers with 40 Mig29K and now upcoming 26 Rafale. We have total of 66 Fighters and our AC can hold 36+36 aircrafts total. Fighter fleet, ASW fleet.


If AMCA and its tech came out as promised. Then Navy will jump into 5th Gen bandwagon.

Helicopter KA 31. Future osprey based AEW perhaps?
