Indian Air Force Commander: We started work on the 5th generation fighter with a slight delay

54

Chief Marshal aviation India's Rakesh Bhadauria issued a statement following the conclusion of the Indian-French Air Force exercise Desert Knight 2021. According to him, 8 French Rafale fighters have already arrived in India, and three more are expected by the end of January.

The Indian Air Force Commander noted that against this background, the country is developing a fifth generation fighter. Earlier it was reported that such work is being carried out within the framework of the AMCA project.

Rakesh Bhadauria:

We started work on the fifth generation fighters with a slight delay. But we are ready to implement technologies in the course of developing the latest aircraft. We have developments that we will translate into reality.

The Indian Marshal noted that in the process of working on the fifth generation fighter "some principles of the sixth generation aircraft will also be introduced."

The Indian Air Force Commander did not elaborate on what principles are meant. He also did not name the completion date for the development.

Meanwhile, in India itself, he was criticized for his words about the "slight delay" in the development of the 5th generation fighter. It is noted that this delay should be called honestly - “critical”. The fact is that today the Indian Air Force would already receive a new generation of fighters, as is the case in the Russian Aerospace Forces. After all, initially the FGFA project was joint. But India decided to withdraw from it, announcing that the characteristics of the aircraft being developed did not suit it.

Now the US, China and the Russian Federation have fifth-generation fighters, and India's AMCA may not appear until 2032.

    Taking into account the fact that Tejas has been developed for almost 40 years, it belongs to a maximum of the 4th generation, then it can be assumed that the fifth generation in India will not be until 2050 laughing

      In the world by that time, the 8th generation will probably be ...

      I remembered ... From those times when "Pentium-4" was super cool and super expensive.

      Free classifieds newspaper ad:
      "Changing a computer with a Pentium-4 processor for the skin of an alien." Signed "Bill Gates".
      A week later, in the same newspaper, another ad:
      "Changing a computer with a Pentium-8 processor for a Bill Gates skin." Signed "Aliens".

To be honest, I got the impression that they are used to building from "g ... and sticks", elementary resistance materials are not available to them. The Taj Mahal is a distant past for them - like pyramids for today's Egyptians or the Colosseum for Italians. Maybe just me, personally, so "lucky"? By the way, cooperation did not work out then ...
        Father in those parts of the world wandered around on business trips, spoke very warmly about the Vietnamese - they are interested in everyone, they want to understand everything, they will not give them sleep even at night with questions. And about the Indian army he spoke only obscenities. Turns away for a minute - they have already gathered in a circle and are drinking some of their own tea with "nesting dolls" ...

          The USSR then built a metal plant in India.
          So this Hindu spoke on any topic other than workers, but most of all about women
          When asked why he does not speak about work, does not ask, he said that his father is the director of this plant and he will never be a worker.
          One of our guys invited him to visit and treated him to moonshine.

      It is interesting to compare democratic India and socialist China .. They started in the modern phase at about the same time - after the war. Huge southern countries with a colossal population. Outlets to the sea, there are no minerals. Plus India - has never been under sanctions and enjoyed the preferences of the British Commonwealth.

      And what different results over the past 70 years! Especially in industry and even more so - in the defense industry.

                Also. Only in our elevator some shit, and others collect rockets. And, fortunately, there are much more people who know how to collect rockets than those pigs. And they have shit on the sidewalk - a common practice and is considered normal and common.

              Igor! Greetings! hi The bunch you have given can be easily destroyed by introducing some very popular anti-binding element into it. Imagine: After a hard day's work, an assembly engineer of the highest category or a design engineer of a rocket or aircraft equipment, a special software developer, or all of them together go, enter a wine-glass room and ... after 2 hours or so ( depending on the region, meteorological conditions and the type of "anisconnecting" selected at that time), the connection was destroyed. But by the morning, communication is usually restored.

                A bunch, Alexander, either is - or it is not. No matter how much "an assembly engineer of the highest category or a design engineer of a missile or aircraft, a programmer-developer of special software, or all together" drank.
                I, too, was not always the general director, and not always, if in the office at the end of the working day I took cognac, the driver took me home. Iron on himself has done decently with his father in the firm and ran around in the craftsmen enough. And we went into the wine-room after work, and after work we refreshed ourselves from half-liter jars at the pub after work - everything was there. But this does not mean that you need to lose your human appearance - like a dog, where you have to shit ...
