Indian Air Force: We will not purchase 5-generation fighters abroad in the foreseeable future

The new commander of the Indian Air Force Rakesh Bhadauria made a statement regarding the renewal of aviation fleet India. According to Marshal aviation, India in the foreseeable future will not buy any of the fifth generation fighters abroad.

Recall that earlier India withdrew from a joint program with the Russian Federation to create a fifth-generation fighter FGFA (Su-57). Then, in New Delhi, they discussed the possibility of entering into cooperation with the United States for the purpose of hypothetical future purchases of F-35 fighters, including their decked version.

Rakesh Bhadauria:

The Indian Air Force is preparing to collaborate with relevant agencies to produce the Indian Advanced Generation 5th Generation AMCA mid-range combat aircraft, which will become the Indian stealth fighter.

The agency for aviation development, part of the defense research organization of India, said that the first prototype of the future fighter can be presented no earlier than in 6 years - in 2025 year. The Indian Air Force, meanwhile, noted that it was necessary to increase the intensity of work.

It is worth noting that earlier in the Swedish company SAAB offered their services to India as part of the creation of the fifth generation fighter (we are talking about the AMCA program). However, recently the Swedes decided to withdraw from the Indian tender, having withdrawn their offer on the 4 generation fighters. Representatives of the company made it clear that they were not satisfied with Indian requirements, including the requirement for the complete transfer of technology within the project.

Meanwhile, Marshal Bhadauria’s statement did not appeal to everyone in India. It is noted that while in India there will be a prototype of the future fifth-generation fighter, there will already be several J-20 fighter squadrons in neighboring China.

Correctly. Do not take. They do not look like war elephants, and do not tolerate when they are taught to dance.

Indians will dance. And there will be no "Hindi-Russi bhai-bhai" anymore. And many can tell them about friendship with mattresses ...

Privet Pashka! Do you remember this movie? Do you remember the translation of the words of this song?

[Shurik70]

In the event of a serious clash between India and China, China will win. Too different technical level and amount of financing. So the phrase about how many fighters China will have is meaningless.
Better let them see how many fighters Pakistan has. While Pakistan has not set up a 5th generation squadron, it makes sense for India to direct its budget to something more useful.

[Archon]

moreover, without taking into account nuclear weapons, if the hostilities drag out, the Chinese people will more steadily endure hardships and hardships thanks to the Chinese Communist Party. There will be more discipline, more production, more technology.
But the USA can stand up for India and then everything will change.

The point is not only this, but that the cost of developing and mass production of such equipment reaches astronomical amounts, and the real damage from it is incomparable even with operational tactical and medium-range missiles in nuclear equipment. That is why we cannot sell our latest aircraft abroad, and even fully equip our VKS - this is too expensive a program, and the cost of fighters is such that not even poor countries can buy them to significantly upgrade their fleet.
Most likely, the Indians weighed everything and decided to change the priorities in their weapons program, which is why the procurement of such expensive equipment abroad was hindered.

So the cunning Indians outwitted everyone ... They won’t buy everything. Build your national super plane. The 20th generation will be built for 5 years, and as a result, when the 6th flies in the world, in India 4 may be built.

[1976AG]

they cannot deal with this tender either, what is the fifth generation there. They, with their requests, are tired of everyone like fuckers with their snot. They do not want to fly - let them walk on foot.

[Thrifty]

Everything will be as always, and they will develop their own for about 30 years, and, look, they will also buy the Chinese J15, or our Su57. For the Indians say one thing and do most often, exactly the opposite of what was said.

Hardly. Most likely, the descendants of the Vikings are tired of the eternally Indian "I want or don't want" and "give, but for free."

[ltc35]

The mentality of northern and southern peoples is too different. In the north, "yes" is "yes", and in the south, "maybe." Most likely by the end of the year we will hear that they will buy the 5th generation, BUT with the transfer of technology.

Swedes, too, do not go to transfer a complete set of technologies to the Indians. And ours did not find mutual understanding with India on the same basis. Let them buy the full cycle of the Chinese counterpart AN-2. Get everything to the rivet.

Well, in general, everything is as usual. It can be interpreted both as a return to the joint program and as a purchase of technologies and production at home. I doubt very much what he was trying to say about independent development.

[Graz]

mdya as if it were their turn to offer 5 generation fighters

By the way, this shameful grandmother has been facing this shameful trough for TWENT years and the Air Force Marshal is already their fourth (was it because of the previous one that they had sunk to the 35th and 57th ?? And if less were made with Bramos then the Brahmos could have been faster and longer-range (well, their money didn’t let the liberoids close the topic)) ...

[eagle owl]

It looks like they don’t sell them to you - you got all of them badly

[Lesorub]

The Indian Air Force is preparing to collaborate with relevant agencies to produce the Indian Advanced Generation 5th Generation AMCA mid-range combat aircraft, which will become the Indian stealth fighter.

The Hindus have obvious problems with independent development and lack of technology - who will be included in the AMCA project and how long it takes will remain in question.

A beautiful answer to the situation! But if Che, come in!

[APASUS]

It is difficult for Indians to dance on the project of a fifth-generation fighter, while they decide in India what is more important for them, China will have hundreds of 5-generation aircraft.

[Herman 4223]

While India will make the first flight prototype (2025), China will have not several squadrons, but several regiments and rich operational experience. Maybe something new will appear.

[knyf]

The engine, or what? It is doubtful. The Chinese, too, saw and saw more.

I'd love to see a list of these relevant agencies.
They abandoned the Russian project, as well as cooperation with the Americans.
China is excluded by definition.
This is where did they find the relevant agencies? Where else have fifth-generation aircraft been developed? In Burkina Faso as part of a cargo cult?

[Town Hall]

Quote: Avior

This is where they found the relevant agencies

BAE for example

[Avior]

If you are about Tempest, then there is far from only BAE.

London, September 11, 2019 - Today at DSEI, leading UK defense companies (BAE Systems, Leonardo UK, Rolls Royce and MBDA UK), together with key Italian Industry players (Leonardo Italy, Elettronica, Avio Aero and MBDA Italy) announced their intent to partner on the Tempest program by signing a Statement of Intent (“SOI”).

Only no one will guarantee that the development will end successfully.
Europe doesn’t really care, but India has China and Pakistan nearby

[Town Hall]

What does Tempest have to do with it? You asked with sarcasm who this India can turn to regarding the development of the aircraft. The answer is simple, the world is full of companies with competencies for such work. Boeing, Lockheed, BAE, Leonardo, Airbus, etc. They can contract one, or they can consortium. They will finance R&D and forward. India is not under sanctions as far as I know. Who will forbid them? Well this is not state-owned companies, but private traders.
But what is burning in India? Pakistan has 5th generation squadrons? Or China has been sitting tightly on the western military embargo since 89?

[Avior]

And how did you determine that they have such competencies?
LM certainly possesses, but about those who have never done such a thing, it cannot be said that they can do it with acceptable quality, in an acceptable time frame and at an affordable price.

[Town Hall]

Quote: Avior

who has never done this,

Almost all of these firms participated or are participating in the F-35 program. And they have the intellectual, industrial and technological potential in no way inferior to Lockheed.

[Avior]

Participated, does not mean that they can do the same.
Not to mention time and cost

[Town Hall]

Quote: Avior

Not to mention time and cost

Lockheed with these factors did not work out very well if that)

[Avior]

This is true, and a lot of money was thrown in, although there was a basis in the form of f-22.
But the f-35 is already there, and this still needs to be developed, and what happens in the end is a question, and most importantly, how long will it take.
In principle, sooner or later, one way or another, many will be pulled in development by the fifth generation, but the Indians, unlike others, are not very easy to wait.
Others made it easier - they bought a part of the f-35 and began to develop their own, like the British and others.
But the Indians for the same money preferred Rafal.

[Town Hall]

India is not the country where the United States would have sold the F-35 at the moment. And if it had sold, by no means 80 million each as to itself and the allies who participated in the program and invested in R&D. So Rafal is the best option for India at the moment.

[Leopold]

Colleague, what does your nickname mean? Do not take it as a second aid, just not strong in languages, but interesting. If not a secret, of course.

[Avior]

States have offered to buy the F-35 of India repeatedly, since 2010 and earlier.
And not all customers invested in the development of the F-35.
I will not argue about the price, as far as I understand, it hasn’t come to this, so no one knows how much.

Japan and Israel did not invest the money, but it was more likely the decision of the USA itself to prevent it from being classified as a program partner

[Avior]

https://www.google.com/amp/s/m.lenta.ru/news/2010/01/13/f35/amp/
Belgium did not participate, for example

According to the Belgian Ministry of Defense, the cost of one F-35 capable of carrying nuclear weapons reaches 76,3 million euros, including arming and training pilots.

I asked for a serious link). Lockheed at least in one tender of the Indian Air Force participated with f-35?

[Avior]

You did not ask anything about the tender and I did not write.
And why should we talk only about the tender?
The question was about the sale of f-35 to India.
Information confirms - States have no objection

This is not information. This is OBS. The desire to sell airplanes is manifested by participation in tenders and not by tales of state-owned Indian media)

And no one will sell them, F-35s even US allies like Saudi Arabia cannot get, although they are ready to open their rich wallet. Regarding their withdrawal from the Su-57 program, apparently, it really does not meet the criteria of the 5th generation. But this is a moot point, the United States will not sell them, China will not sell them either, what should they buy?

[Avior]

On the contrary, India USA F-35 has long been offering

[Karaul14]

That is news such that it is not necessary to consider news. They will not sell the F-35 to India.

[TermNachTer]

It seems to mine that this someone in India is an unbridled optimist. Considering how many years they have been "finishing" the "tejas", the prototype of the 5th generation will fly when the Chinese move to the sixth.

[Avior]

They are not going to develop themselves

The Swedes withdrew the tender for 4th generation aircraft, because they do not want to give up technology. And Russia was ready to give the 5th, if the Indians themselves did not run away? How interesting is that.

[TermNachTer]

It depends on what to give. The French also give some technology for "rafal", only the Indians do not need them.

[EnGenius]

What is the fifth generation for Indians - they cannot even update their fourth. Require urgent replacement of at least 500 aircraft. And given the rich experience of India, she will be replaced for another twenty years. Then they will buy a license for Su-57E from Russia and stick fifty-one hundred pieces for themselves.

[Artunis]

Outsmarted themselves, freeloaders! the Americans did not pass on any critical technology to anyone, they sold, unlike us, by the way.

[evgeni kurilo]

The Hindus did everything right, the fifth generation American planes are raw, and the Russian are not ready yet who will do better and buy, the 4 ++ generation is more than enough for them, as well as for the Russians.
In the meantime, they are buying C400, which will perfectly cope with Chinese and other aircraft of the 5th generation.

[Yar_Vyatkin]

They are trying to sell this idiotic Tejas MK2 in a new package once again with their own Air Force. From it, an 5 generation aircraft - like from a hedgehog fur coat. I imagine the size of bribes from industry to this Bahaduria and other necessary people, so that they suffer such nonsense.
The most interesting thing is that several years of vigorous cutting will take place, they will once again be convinced that the local industry once again could not give birth to anything, for which even the 5 incarnation of the creators of the creation would not be ashamed - and again they will go to ours or somewhere else.
