@azriel_july No other choise brother.
We need a 6th gen fighter (china already has 2).
Indian doesn't have the tech
USA won't give us shit
GCAP is already too far ahead for us to join.
Russia? Their 5th gens are questionable, can't even imagine their 6th gen.
France is the only option
@Viv_ache_12@alpha_defense Your correct but it's not like we have any other choise.
We're 2 late to participate in GCAP and also we don't have the technical know-how to develope our own engine. We have a decade before our own 5th gen fighter and inorder to keep up with china we need 6th gen
hence france.
@ash__kat@IndiaToday I would, but unfortunately it won't happen, unlikely france, (rolls Royce)a uk company is more likely to fold under US pressure and The idea of a india capable of making their own jet engines dosent look good in their eye.. So yeah it would be saffron who will get the engine deal
@alpha_defense If land is allocated to ADA and AMCA is tk be made by private players... The what use it the facility?? Would they just assemble parts make by private partners?
