F-35B Pops Up In Indian Aircraft Carrier Official Impression


a.jpg


The Lockheed-Martin F-35B has popped up in an official artist's impression of India's indigenous aircraft carrier, currently under construction in Kochi. The aircraft's B and C variants have been pitched to the Navy in response to an RFI earlier this year. An earlier impression of the carrier featured F-15s operating from the ship's flight deck.

It seems IN is determined to look at F-35 as a serious contender to equip IAC..
 
Correct me if I'm wrong.
If IN orders F-35 then IN will get 5th gen. fighter earlier than IAF.
That will be good for IN.
 
The Indian navy is so far ahead.....it leadership is hands down one of the best I've ever come across. Their ability to grasp the latest concepts and incorporate into their defense is astonishing. Going for the F-35 is a clever move, no doubt about that!

NO//No way can IN get 5th Gen before IAF. If we order now then also we will be getting F-35 earliest by 2020..Only IAC-II and IAC-III will be able to fly F-35..
 
F-35 would be a good option for IAC-II considering the fact that Naval FGFA will not be ready by then..Only concern is that US is trying to make this plane an all rounder (i.e. capable of doing the jobs of Air-Force,Navy and Army ) which may make it suitable (specialist) for none..
 
Even if we go for it, when will we get the same? 2030?.. since most of the partner nations will get the preference...
