The US just recently stated that India could join the F-35 Program if it wanted. So, I see very little reason why it wouldn’t partner with India to develope a 6th Generation Fighter. (i.e. man or unmanned)
I was talking about the 5th gen AMCA not the 6th gen..
And joining the F 35 program wouldnt benefit India in any technological way in dvelopment of the AMCA.
And IAF wouldnt possibly need the F 35 either with the FGFA , mmRCA , and AMCA in the works.The only requirement for the F 35 is by the Indian Navy to operate from the future carriers where there is no other options.for that we can get a few airframes once the F 35 tech has matured and delivery schedules have regularised.
here’s what India saying..
With own 5-Gen fighter project with Russia, India not keen on US jet
[ or maybe if we screw up the AMCA we could have a second MRCA :rolleyes:competition between the F/A 35 super lightning II, PAKFA mkII , KAI KF-X and the Mitsubishi ATD-X ]
Plus, the Super Hornet is the frontrunner in the MMRCA Contest.
What?When ?Where?
