AMCA fighter jet
India’s AMCA (Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft) fighter jet will soon join the strength of the Indian Air Force. It is also being called the eagle of the sky. AMCA is being developed in collaboration with India’s HAL (Hindustan Aeronautics Limited) and DRDO (Defence Research and Development Organization). The specialty of this jet is that it will be equipped with stealth technology, modern avionics and powerful weapons, due to which it will be able to compete with international fighter jets like F-35 and J-30 at a lower cost.
Will be more powerful than F-35 or J-30
AMCA is completely designed for multirole missions. This means that it will be capable of air combat, ground strike and intelligence missions. Indian engineers claim that the AMCA will cost much less than the F-35 or J-30. At the same time, its technology and capability will be equal to or better than these foreign jets. Its stealth design will help in dodging enemy radar and will increase the firepower of the Air Force.
AMCA fighter jet will be made in India
India is developing AMCA completely with domestic technology, which will reduce foreign dependence. This jet will be equipped with high-performance engines, state-of-the-art aircraft sensors and navigation systems. AMCA’s airframe design will be lighter and stronger, increasing the speed and maneuverability of the jet. Apart from this, it will also include advanced weapon systems that can hit both air and ground targets.
Experts say that because of AMCA, India’s defense sector will become self-reliant and the country will also get relief from huge foreign expenditure. The team of HAL and DRDO has already taken important steps in the design and development of the AMCA prototype. In the next few years, the first test fighter will be seen flying in the air.
The entire program of AMCA is going to prove to be a game changer for the Indian Air Force. This will not only strengthen air defence, but will also include India in the list of countries developing modern fighter aircraft at the international level. AMCA aims to be a great example of low cost, high efficiency and homegrown technology, helping India usher in a new era in its skies.
