India is moving towards making indigenous fighter jets amca and tejas mk2 more powerful knowledge

Amca and tejas mk2 fighter jet: India is now working rapidly towards making its own fighter aircraft more powerful. Some countries of the world have already made fourth and fifth generation fighter jets. Among them, America’s F-35 has been the most discussed. Apart from this, Russia’s SU-57 and America’s F-21 are also very famous.

It was believed that India can also buy any of these jets, but now the news is coming that India is going to pay more attention to its indigenous fighter jets, not on these foreign aircraft.

Delivery of foreign jets is delayed

India had planned to buy 114 new fighter aircraft under the earlier Multirol Fighter Aircraft (MRFA) project. The scheme included foreign fighter jets like F-35, SU-57, F-21, Gripane, Rafael, Eurofighter Typhoon and F-15EX. But this scheme has been stuck for many years and is getting delayed a lot. For this reason, India has decided that it will now make the aircraft made in its country better instead of depending on foreign jets and will give them priority.

The Indian Air Force has 31 fighter squadron while the need is 42.5 squadron. Old MiG-21 aircraft are slowly removed. Therefore, India is now going to pay more attention to its indigenous fighter jets to keep the Air Force strong.

AMCA and Tejas rested on MK2

The Government of India and the Ministry of Defense have given priority to make weapons and fighter aircraft in the country under the ‘self -reliant India’ and ‘Make in India’. Under this, India will now pay more attention to its two indigenous fighter jet projects-first is the 5th generation fighter jet Amca and the second is the 4th generation Tejas MK-2. The government is planning to increase the number of these two fighter aircraft, so that the Indian Air Force can strengthen and reduce dependence on other countries.
