Taiwan, SKorea, Japan are just USA satellite states and rely on USA weapons. The equipment they manufacture are using tools supplied by USA. They themselves don't know to make them. Even the planes involve heavy imported parts from USA - engine, radar, sensors, seekers, avionics, FBW etc are all sourced from USA. They are just named by Korea or Japan. Without sourcing parts and software from USA, these planes can't even take off.I'm shocked. Indian folks are usually very smart. Why do I just see either denial or refusal to accept the fact that some other nation in India's category, can make advance weapons? I used to read similar comments about the Pakistani JFT and missile tech on here too and how none of it would ever fly?
I think in your response, you mentioned about 6 times "Semiconductor tech". I know what that is and I am sure the scientists working on these projects already know they need to program the advanced chips. Instead of sounding like an approver, how about if we ask these guys these questions? May be a more productive discussion can be had.
Lastly, without making this a pissing context, I would tell you there are plenty of nations who have and can build advance jets without 30 years of experience. Taiwan, South Korea and Japan are 3 of them.
About semiconductor technology, every modern technology revolves around semiconductor. Every smart weapons, self targeting weapons, target locking mechanism, radar detection mechanism etc work only with the help of semiconductors. This means if any country has to do anything autonomously, it must first develop semiconductor technology. India, China, Russia etc started their semiconductor program in 1970s and it was only after 30 years that they could make any smart weapons. Even in case of USA which started the program in late 1950s and early 1960s took till 1990s to develop smart weapons, UAV, Patriot BMD, LGB, 3rd gen ATGM etc. Turkey does not even have the capability to make semiconductors of basic level (USA in 1970s-80s). No one will give semiconductor technology either. This means that if Turkey wants to have any level of independence, it must first develop semiconductor. Else, all its weapons will be dysfunctional or limited in their abilities
