India’s dream of making stealth fighter will be fulfilled soon
Given the increasing tension with neighboring countries Pakistan and China and challenges equipped with nuclear weapons, India is now preparing to take its military strength to a new level. The country is now going to prepare its own fifth generation stealth fighter jet, which will be able to escape silently by escaping the enemy’s eyes. DRDO and ADA together are developing this ‘invisible warrior’ i.e. AMCA (Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft). For its construction, DRDO issued the Expression of Interest (EOI), in which seven big companies like HAL, L&T, Tata and Adani showed interest. Now two of these companies will be selected, which will move step by step with the country in this ambitious project.
Which companies are in the race?
Stealth Fighter of India Seven big companies of the country have been involved in the competition to prepare AMCA. Among them, big names like Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL), Larsen & Toubro (L&T), Tata Advanced Systems, and Adani Defense are at the forefront. These companies have bid with DRDO to make this fighter jet.
Now two out of these seven companies will be selected, which will work closely with DRDO in this project. They will be initially given funds of Rs 15,000 crore, so that they will prepare five prototype aircraft of AMCA. According to media reports, Adani Defense is at the top of this list. The cost of this entire project has been estimated at around Rs 2 lakh crore, and the plan is to make more than 125 fighter aircraft under it, which will further strengthen the strength of the Indian Air Force in the future.
When will India’s ‘invisible warrior’ fly?
The process of selection of selected companies is going on regarding the AMCA project. Former head of BrahMos Aerospace, A. A high -level committee led by Shivathanu Pillai is evaluating companies bidding. This committee will submit its report to the Ministry of Defense, after which it will be decided which two companies will be given this responsibility.
Currently, this project is still in the initial stage of development, but according to the plan, this invisible warrior can become part of the Indian Air Force by 2035. When it joins the airline, it will give a new height to India’s military strength and will take the country to the point of technology where today there are countries like America, Russia and China.
India’s fighter will not be less than anyone
India’s Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft i.e. AMCA will be a fighter aircraft that will be equipped with stealth technology. This means that it will be able to attack quietly while avoiding the enemy’s radar. The aircraft will be with two engines and one seat, which will have state-of-the-art stealth coating, excellent avionics system and multi-rol weapon capacity.
AMCA will be able to fly to a height of about 55,000 feet and will have modern weapons from the ground and air to air. Its internal weapon system will have a capacity of 1,500 kg and external weapons will have a capacity of 5,500 kg. Its total weight will be around 25 tons and will have a capacity to fill up to 6.5 tonnes.
Apart from this, India has recently made a deal to buy 26 Rafale-M fighter aircraft from France, which costs Rs 63,000 crore. These aircraft will replace the old MiG-29K and will get India by 2031. Earlier, 36 Rafale-C aircraft have already been included in India’s Air Force.
