the idea of developing AMCA or any next gen aircraft is laughable and nöthin but get tax earned money to fill own pockets by babus of DRDO. For god sake Our 4th gen LCA IS yet to get FOC. We are importng engine for 4th gen Lca. We have nö radar of our own forget AESA. Lca mk2 is years away. How can we even think about 5th gen AMCA. Its good to have home grown tech and plane and something 2 b proud of. But being naive wont solve these problems. Aiming moon is not bad but we have move step by step.
I honestly don't see LCA as a platform to develop as an air superiority aircraft. mk1>2>3 as suggested for you would work great for our interceptor requirement. But out future aircraft carriers and forward airbases will rely on MRCA's along with the FGFA. AMCA is to fill up the gap we have. It's a step towards complete indegenization of all requirements of the airforce.i agree with u but we need to be practical. The proper step should be Lca mk1>mk2>mk3(fully home made) > Amca.meanwhile sep. and parallel research should be done on various aspects of 5th gen/stealth elements. Also we should try to make products indegenous step by step.(like engines. Avoinics radar etc.) biting more than we can chew will lead us nowhere. Isro is ideal example of step by step growth and research. R&D work of isro do not hinder the current product developement but rather enhance it.
there is no immediate need for AMCA not until 2025

There is actually no need until 2035 to 2040, when the MKIs will need replacements, because all older fighters will be replaced by FGFA and even if IAF wants to increase numbers, additional FGFA, MMRCA, LCA makes more sense than developing a completelly new fighter type.
51 x Mirage 2000s
69 x Mig 29
36 x upgraded Mig 27
~100 x Jaguars
=> 256
FGFA order 250+
Not to forget that AURA UCAV is the way better option to replace Jaguars in the ground attack role than AMCA!
But the worst part is, that they are delaying decisons for LCA, because they have already AMCA in mind. Why can't they get one thing done, induct it into the force and then start another project, why do they have to all do all things at once? LCA MK1 developent, LCA MK2 development, N-LCA development, AMCA development...all at the same time and then they wonder why things went wrong.![]()

but the problem we are india not china ,we are not so capable of reverse engineering or copying like chineseA better approach.. would be to link up the AMCA with the FGFA..
get experience on the FGFA.. learn the methods.. and the mistakes..
Then go into the AMCA with a 5++ gen idea in mind.
,but surely our AMCA design has better stealth design than PAKfabut the problem we are india not china ,we are not so capable of reverse engineering or copying like chinese,but surely our AMCA design has better stealth design than PAKfa
