China, Pakistan in tension as India receive offer for two 6th-generation fighter jets, not Russia’s Sukhoi-57 or US’s F-35

By joining FCAS or GCAP programs, India can access advanced technology, it might also divert resources and focus from the AMCA project.

China, Pakistan in tension as India receive offer for two 6th-generation fighter jets, not Russia’s Sukhoi-57 or US’s F-35

China has rolled global defence circles’ eyes by test-flying two sixth-generation fighter jets. The introduction of these jets has increased tensions for India, which lacks even fifth-gen fighter jets. While India recently acquired the 4.5-generation Rafale jets from France, it now faces a strategic dilemma as offers to collaborate on sixth-generation jets pour in.


Global Collaboration Opportunities

As per a report by Bulgarian media, Germany, France, and Spain have invited India to join the Future Combat Air System (FCAS) program, aiming to develop a sixth-generation fighter jet. Similarly, United Kingdom Japan, and Italy offered New Delhi to place in their Global Combat Air Program (GCAP). Notably, both the major projects assure cutting-edge technology in air defence and strengthen partnership with these countries

The offers also reflects India’s growing reputation as a key defence collaborator.



Indigenous AMCA Project vs. International Offers


India has made a significant investment in the indigenous Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA) project. Designed as a fifth-gen stealth aircraft with advanced avionics and supersonic missile capabilities, AMCA aims to strengthen India’s self-reliance in defence technology.

By joining FCAS or GCAP programmes, India can access to advanced technology, it might also divert resources and focus from the AMCA project. Reports suggest that New Delhi may refuse both offers to prioritise the AMCA.


AMCA: India’s Bold Defence Initiative

The AMCA is India’s most ambitious defence project which is jointly developed by DRDO and the Indian Air Force. It aims to outclass fifth-generation jets like Sukhoi-57 and F-35.

  Anthony Odiong is accused of sexual assault by at least eight women whom the priest had been counseling Ramon Antonio Vargas The criminal case that authorities are building against a Roman Catholic priest accused of preying on women whom he met while working in south-east Louisiana and Texas is progressing, with a grand jury in the latter state indicting him on three felony sexual assault charges. Anthony Odiong, 55, faces two counts of second-degree sexual assault as well as one of first-degree sexual assault in the charges handed up against him recently in the McLennan county, Texas, state court. The charges against Odiong – who was first arrested in July – involve two women. He could receive up to life imprisonment if convicted of the first-degree charge, a stiffer penalty that stems from the fact that the alleged victim in the case was a woman whom Odiong was prohibited from “marrying or purporting to marry” under Texas law. The second-degree counts each carry up to 20 years ...

Mbereko, 40, has been a widow for the past 12 years and has been living with her 23-years-old son Farai Mbereko.

She said after spending a lot of money sending Farai to school following the death of her husband, she felt she had a right to his money and no other woman was entitled to it. “Look, I struggled alone to send my son to school and no one h...
