The Indian Air Force decided on the concept of a new generation fighter AMCA

Indian media, citing a senior source in the military department, said that the country's air force decided on the concept of a new generation fighter. Recall that earlier the Indian Air Force command refused to consider options for the purchase of 5-generation fighters abroad. It was also added that the country will focus on developing its own combat aircraft under the AMCA program.

The Ministry of Defense of India plans to get a fighter, on which two engines will be installed, capable of taking the aircraft to supersonic speed without afterburner, as well as providing supersecurity. The fighter must be equipped with a radar with an active phased antenna (AFAR, AESA).

Air Force spokesman in an interview with The Economic Times:

The Indian promising fighter should receive an important advantage - the stealth technology.

As you can see, in India they still believe that it is stealth technology that is the main development aviation to gain an advantage over the enemy.

It is planned to spend about 1,1 billion dollars on the design of a new generation combat aircraft under the AMCA project (excluding funds for the execution of the combat vehicle itself). The plans say that by the 2025 year the prototype should be rolled out from the hangar, and by 2026 - the first test flight of the latest fighter.

Recall that earlier in India they talked about creating a new generation fighter for the 2030 year and mass production for the 2035. These terms in the conceptual program remained unchanged. At the same time, the interlocutor of the mentioned Indian publication said that the basic concept of a promising fighter has already been adopted.

I remember the Indians designed and developed their tank, and bought a T-90 with a kondishin

[Tony]

They said correctly: "Don't spit in the well, you have to get drunk ..." Hindus, Hindus, Hindus ...

[krot]

In a week, the Indians will be disappointed in their "concept" and will again look for a 5th generation fighter from someone .. And then, as they find a suitable one, it turns out that it does not fall under their concept)) Well, so on ..))

T, e, money will be spent on it, a plant will be built, but no one will see it in parts. Stealth, however ...

[Victor_B]

Cheaper and easier to buy from us.

Not yet evening. Planning is one thing, and doing is quite another.

[bessmertniy]

Let them make sure that money is wasted. Then it will be better as buyers.

[Berber]

Cheaper is not a factor. BAGS are cheaper to buy from us (30 times), but they do it themselves. And production is needed for the right people to earn money. They have all the military industry private. Therefore, "dances with tambourines".

[TermNachTer]

Somehow cheap - lard for a 5th generation fighter? Is that from a reed?

[gvozdan]

It remains only to create all the remaining 95% of the aircraft.

[Last centurion]

rather 99.99999 more. so far only desires and dreams :)

[Nycomed]

Is he in the photo? And what kind of "stealth" can we talk about when external suspensions are present? And where will the Indians get the declared engines? This makes no sense...

[Voyager]

We also have external suspensions on the Su-57. And even on the F-22 there.

[Andrei from Chelyabinsk]

Yes, but removable. For stealth tasks, there is an internal weapons compartment. But on the Indian model, I don’t see something

That's where the Indians get engines for the AMCA.

a promising medium-sized combat aircraft (AMCA [1]), the next-generation Indian fighter, will make its first flight in 2032. Currently under development.
“AMCA will have the invisibility provided by geometry (geometric stealth) and in the first stage will fly with two GE-414 engines. Once we develop our own engine, it can be replaced. We expect the first flight in 2032, ”a source from the Ministry of Defense said.

The aircraft will have the same GE-414 engine as the LCA Mk-2 modification, which is at the design stage.
The GE-414 delivers 98 kN thrust compared to the 84 kN thrust of the GE-404 engine used on the LCA Mk1.

Neither the United States nor France are going to transfer engine technology to them. And buying the same GE-414 will just make the project rich. NOBODY makes their "fifth generation" without their own engine.

[Sky strike fighter]

The Turks went the same way.

The Turkish aircraft manufacturer TAI has chosen the American company General Electric and engines of the F110 family to equip the promising domestic TF-X fighter, VP reports with reference to defensenews.com (October 31).

A senior procurement officer from the Turkish Defense Ministry confirmed the choice, saying that the twin-engine TF-X will be powered by F110-GE-129 or F110-GE-132. “This decision is final, we will not create our own engine for the TF-X,” the official said. According to plans, the first prototype TF-X and an unknown number of aircraft of the initial batch will be equipped with the F110 turbojet engine. Turkey then plans to switch to an engine that will be developed by the national engine consortium TRMotor.

Both India and Turkey are "great aviation powers" with a rich and glorious school of aircraft construction. (sarcasm)
To be honest, I very much doubt such projects. For example, India proved that creating even its own light fighter is far from a trivial matter. Without its own engine, such a project will most likely remain in the form of a beautiful plastic layout.
Wait and see!

I don’t understand why both of them should not unite with South Korea or Japan. Similar projects and sizes and countries do a lot of things themselves.

Well, have teamed up on the JSF project. Who did not have time ... The future will show whether it is late or won!

Here, all participants are more or less equal .... another situation and everyone can customize for themselves.

Where? In the JSF program? You have completely incorrect information. The transfer of technologies, especially key technologies, is completely absent.

Turks actively support Pakistan in the conflict with India, at least in words, which makes cooperation between Turkey and India impossible. South Korea and Japan also have a difficult relationship because of history and disputed lands.

[Zaurbek]

But Japan-India and South Korea-India ... what problems?

In such a program, there must necessarily be someone "ringleader" with a huge baggage of competence. I don’t think they will want to do it on a parity basis. East is a delicate matter!

It is just beneficial here ... India is massive. And those have brains.

South Korea, together with Indonesia, is making its own fighter. India decided to build itself, just as Turkey and Japan decided to build their own fighters.

Urrya! Peremoga! It seems that everyone who contacted the States is being gassed with "Fool". I was not mistaken - it was gas, it was watered ...

[JD1979]

Yes, yes, we have decided on the concept. It remains to decide who will present technology for manufacturing including engines to beggars.

[Nikolaevich I]

That's okay! Finally ! Finally, the Indians have decided on the "orientation"! It can be expensive when you know who is "from the bottom" and who is "from the top"!

[The Siberian barber]

It is strange to read, given the exit from the FGFA project.
Or think they can do better themselves?)) There are doubts about this

Meditation on the topic: "Reincarnation of" something "from a variety of purchases for a stealth option.

[voyaka uh]

It is necessary to explain to the Indians that any stealth can see radars of the meter range perfectly. They do not understand this simple fact!

[Wedmak]

Well, yes, the tank has already been "developed and put into production." Did the Indians get budget sawing instructions straight from the US?

[Sahalinets]

Well, then they will develop 30 years, release 10 units and buy foreign ones.

[Mavrikiy]

About $ 1,1 billion is planned to be spent on designing a new generation combat aircraft under the AMCA project (excluding funds for the execution of the combat vehicle itself).

May God give our calves a wolf to eat. They would ask the United States how much today the 5th generation projects.

The total cost of the program to create a stealth new generation fighter F-35 "Lightning-2" (Lightning II) reached 1,3 trillion dollars. This was announced by the head of the program, Lieutenant General Christopher Bogdan.

The plans say that by 2025 the prototype should be rolled out of the hangar, and by 2026 the first test flight of the latest fighter.

From the word "never". They wanted it like in China. But China did business, albeit clumsily. And these followers of contemplation of their navel, in addition to a set of hotties, for so much time, a finger on a finger.

[Ros 56]

Hindus have not yet come up with such dances and songs for the 5th generation.

[mlad]

for such terms, the Indians can rivet the mock-up onto the table for the generals, the engines will definitely be imported, and much more, so it will be hard to call it Indian, like the Arjun tank is assembled, so with a thread
