Top 5 Fighter Jets of India
Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft
Model of HAL AMCA
HAL has completed design work on an Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA), which is a twin-engined 5.5 generation stealth multirole fighter with the capability to fly unmanned. It will complement the HAL Tejas, the Sukhoi Su-30MKI, MWF and the Dassault Rafale in the Indian Air Force. The main purpose of this aircraft is to give IAF a technological edge.[72]
Omni-role Combat Aircraft (ORCA)
Omni Role Combat Aircraft is a concept to design & develop a twin-engine omni role fighter of Rafale category.The design of the Omni Role Combat Aircraft (ORCA), an Air Force variant of the Twin Engine Deck Based Fighter (TEDBF), with significant design differences, was being studied as of 2020. The first flight of the TEDBF is targeted for 2025 with the fighter expected to be inducted into the Navy by 2030.[73]
Medium Weight Fighter (MWF AF MK2)
The HAL Tejas Mark 2, or Medium Weight Fighter or HAL MWF, is a planned single-engine, delta wing, multirole fighter designed by the Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA) and Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) for the Indian Air Force (IAF). It is a further development of the HAL Tejas, or Light Combat Aircraft (LCA), programme which began in the 1980s to replace India's ageing MiG-21 fighters. The Tejas Mk 2 is being designed to replace multiple strike-fighters like SEPECAT Jaguars, Dassault Mirage-2000 & MiG-29 of Indian Air Force.
It has a tail-less compound delta-wing configuration with a single vertical stabilizer with closed-coupled canards to provide static instability and high manoeuverability, and is equipped with fly-by-wire systems to control instability.
There is confirmation from the chief of Aeronautical Development Agency that MWF will shed its "Tejas" stamp and get a completely new name altogether during or after its first flight.Its metal cutting will begin from 2021.
M-MRCA 2.0
On 3 January 2017, Minister of Defence Manohar Parrikar addressed a media conference and announced plans for a competition to select a Strategic Partner to deliver "200 new single engine fighters to be made in India, which will easily cost around (USD)$45 million apiece without weaponry" with an expectation that Lockheed Martin (USA) and Saab (Sweden) will pitch the F-16 Block 70 and Gripen, respectively. An MoD official said that a global tender will be put to market in the first quarter of 2018, with a private company nominated as the strategic partners production agency followed by a two or more year process to evaluate technical and financial bids and conduct trials, before the final government-to-government deal in 2021. This represents 11 squadrons of aircraft plus several 'attrition' aircraft.
However,the plan to acquire foreign-made single engine fighters was replaced by induction indigenous aircraft Tejas of different variants.[74]
Later the competition was declared to be exlusively open for twin engine fighters of Rafale category.[75] The contenders were the same as MRCA which are Rafale, Eurofighter Typhoon, Mig 35, Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornet.
Unmanned Wingman
HAL Unmanned Wingman is an armed stealth drone which will team up and fight alongside IAF fighters to hit high-value enemy targets. It is designed to carry out MUM-T Operations. It will be the first line of offense in operations against heavily defended, integrated air defence networks. An Indian defence startup is also a part of the mission team.
