Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA) News and Discussion

[Sandeep]

India has the knowledge, talent and education to design and develop the AMCA 100% indigenously and there was always going to be a long period of testing it all out. The real benefit is when they develop the AMCA MK2 which will use a brand new indigenously designed and developed engine with Safran.

 

[shubham saini]

Good news but if we want to compete with china we need a lot more effort.

 

[Aayush Dhaundiyal]

When can the Mk1A reach the production rate of 24/30? Probably, 2029 By then I think it should be close to completing the initial order for 83. Then there is a pending order for 97. If we take it by 2032 then m1a would be done with production and the line could be shifted to Mk2. I do not see any significant production or hopes for mk2 before this. Probably the same time Mk2 is supposed to be in production, another foreign-designed fighter should be in production as well. Now to say with hope, HAL successfully manages to put a separate production for TEDBF and Even AMCA too by 2032, especially considering the current rate is poor even after a decade of IOC, needs you either be a fanatic or a kid

What has HAL got to do with AMCA ? Isn't ADA the sole developer ?
DRDO is the most incompetent in the ecosystem. IAF is incompetent as well. HAL can be privatised, but what about DRDO and IAF ? This is a problem of our culture developed during early days of socialism.

Cite some light on your contributions, as you are finding issues.who is stopping you to join private defence industry and do miracles as it's apparent you won't settle for less , it's clear.

 

[kumar]

Funding becomes available straight away

No. It can take about 2 to 3 months.

 

[kumar]

The private sector are the main companies that manufacture the parts, components and technology. HAL mostly make the crucial technology like engines but other than that they assemble the jet and certify

I am talking about AMCA spv where they are supposed to take the lead. What u are talking is subcontracting.

 

[venkat]

HAL and ADA will need 10 more years than anything planned. goI keeps placing its bets on 2 failed organizations

 

[Jay K Sinhal]

Good luck and best wishes.

 

[Pad UwU]

AMCA is still on drawing board for it's so called mki while the d@mn Korean already tested it's kf21 Boramae now already develop it's mkii model same goes to Turks Kaan😹😹😹

 

[Pad UwU]

I highly doubtful when I don't see it 😹😹😹

 

[Bikramjeet Goswami]

By the time the prototype starts flying, the US and China would probably starting inducting their 6th Gem fighters. 😁

 

[charminar_waale_ismail_bhai]

Let’s see when ADA comes back with their bowl to ask for additional funds and time.

Plus, excuse which would sound something similar to how Covid-19 still continues to delay all past, present & future programs.

 

[Mrityunjay Shrivastav]

One exception in the timeline, in next term Govt divests half of its stake in HAL and ropes in a pvt player as Tier 1 manufacturing/assembly partner for AMCA asking HAL to work in parallel at their own laggard pace

Funds are cleared now, how you expect them to make prototype without money?

 

[Sandeep]

No. It can take about 2 to 3 months.

Once cleared by the finance ministry then it gets released. There’s no wait for 2/3 months as then you get a massive backlog of others funds waiting to be cleared.

The SPV is to encourage more private companies to participate and develop more than just parts and components along with being in charge of making it which can be done faster than DPSU companies under HAL.

I know the purpose of spv. But in this specific case it has failed. It is good decision to move on.

From ccs approval to funds disbursal, there was delay of about 3 to 5 months in case of mk2. That's why I said it might take 2 to 3 months.

 

[Rajesh]

The actual deal is when the engine partner will be chosen one among rr or Safran because only those 2 will have an engine development for their 6th gen fighter. Americans will not have any 6/5th gen fighter with an engine in the range of 110-130kn anytime soon. Hope the engine partner will be chosen quickly once elections r over.despite having 6+nos if ge 414 drdo has not even started any actual work all these years like what turkey has done with their 5th gen development program with the reserve engines they have.

 

[beencensured]

Haha great
Took 11 months ◉⁠‿⁠◉

Akshat forgets it was done February last year well over an year. .

 

[beencensured]

So beating expectations, approval has come in well under a year. Let’s see when ADA comes back with their bowl to ask for additional funds and time.

But you forget to count the over one year delay as it is march and not February.
