Indian Navy fighter project, TEDBF (Twin Engine Deck Based Fighter)

[covert_shores]

Hal and DRDO (/ADO) are developing a "5th generation" fighter. Takes off where the Naval Tejas failed.
See https://www.navalnews.com/naval-new...rrier-vikrant-may-get-5th-generation-fighter/

Unofficial artist's impression but based directly on DRDO materials.

Maybe Gen 4.5 is more accurate (?) but still.

like I said before.
use that money and invest it in navalizing AMCA, an actual 5th gen fighter (i hope)
and untl then, buy Rafale Ms or Super Hornets for the carriers.

That concept art looks like a F-35 cockpit mated to a Rafale body...

Going by what I have seen, their view is that converting a ground-based fighter for carrier ops (like Fulcrum or LCS was) is an inherently bad idea.

I would like to see a navalised variant of the AMCA too helmutkohl, but the airforce variant must fly first before the navy gets their version.

Second (after Boramae) "4th gen" plane of the 2020s, may be out of 3(depending on what "F-16 replacement" may develop into).
Making this whole "generations" thing more and more ridiculous.
