- South Korea and Turkey have achieved significant milestones in their 5th generation fighter jet programs, KF-21 and TF-X.
- These programs have received national priority status, enabling faster development and overcoming bureaucratic hurdles.
- India's AMCA program, despite its need for advanced fighter aircraft, appears to be lagging behind.
- The program is hampered by unclear timelines, indecision about key aspects like engine development and private sector participation.
- The lead agencies, DRDO and ADA, are unable to provide concrete milestones, raising doubts about the program's readiness for mass production by 2035.
- India's AMCA program has the potential to be a game-changer, but its current trajectory is worrisome.
- Addressing the program's key challenges can help India achieve its goal of developing a cutting-edge 5th generation fighter jet.
