Well starters I would tone down my demands for one, the main problem here is India wants to get full technology transfer so they can go ahead with their own 5th gen program, and were not ready to shoot ourselfs in the foot in the long run for a few billion in the short term.
Any Source, which indicates that India is asking for PAK FA technology, that could be used in its 5th Generation fighter plane AMCA.
1. Engine tech -- So why didn't India asked Russian help in its Kaveri in its first place and never choose Russian engine over US F414.
2. Aircraft Design -- It is been designed by ADA, and AMCA is the ADA project, not the HAL and FGFA would be the JV of HAL and Sukhoi. Which Indian organisation is dying for the Russian PAK FA tech. could you name some, let me guess
1. DARE -- Are they asking for the Russian EW Suite, OLS-35, RWR, Littering Pod, MAWS, navigation system, communication sat com.
2. LRDE -- Are they dying to get the Radar tech from Russia, heck they should have dumped Israel, and BEL and should have begged Zhuk to give them Radar Tech. Or they dying to get the Gan based T/R module or the Radar computer or its algorithm from Russia.
3. ADA --- Are they dying to get Control law, FBW, landing gear, accutators, fuel pumps from Russia
4. TAML/TATA/DRDO --- Are they dying to get state of the art LO RCS composites or the Titatium alloy composition from Russia.
Both FGFA and AMCA are two different Project of two different organisation HAL and ADA/DRDO and different role in IAF i.e Airsuperiority and DPSA respectively and their is no link between them, nor India have ever asked any tech for its own indigenous 5th Gen fighter plane project AMCA.
So tell me Frankly what would be status of
1. Su 30SM if India wouldn't have gone for 250+ Su 30MKI
2. Mig 29K
3. Admiral Gorshkov Carrier if India haven't buyed it
4. T-90
5. And PAK FA if India dumped FGFA.
@PARIKRAMA @Abingdonboy @Ankit Kumar Brother some people are happy and some people sad and starts specullating things. If I categorize them
1. People who think Russia is blackmailing India, and now S-400 is linked with FGFA.
2. People who think Russia have dumped the whole export of S-400 and FGFA.
3. People who think both S-400 and FGFA are coming to India.
I am interested in category 2. So i will devide into two group
a. People who want India to buy Israeli Arrow, or US THAAD, and F-35.
b. People who want India to develop both indigenously.
c. People who are happy because they feared both S-400 and FGFA
Everything is Speculated, and everyone is making theories from the news.
