Indigenous Fighter Aircraft to be a Reality Soon, Says Parrikar

[Zarvan]

ROORKEE: India may be able to develop its own fighter aircraft with the help of indigenous and foreign technology in the next four to five years, Defence minister Manohar Parrikar said on Friday, while stressing on curbing the dependency in import in defence sector. "In four or five years we could develop our own fighter planes with the help of a mixture of indigenous and foreign technologies," he said.

Parrikar was in the city to launch a three-day annual technical festival of IIT Roorkee, which started on Friday.

Addressing the students, Parrikar said that under the 'Make in India' initiative, the focus of the government is to reduce the burden of import to a "noticeable extent" through the use of indigenous technology. The minister appealed to the "bright minds" of IITs and other areas to integrate themselves and give their services to the defence sector.

"Bright minds from IITs and other areas should integrate themselves with the country's defence sector and render their services to DRDO-like establishments to make the 'Make in India' campaign successful through your 'out of the box' thinking, creative ability, innovation and engineering knowledge," Parrikar said.

The minister said that people from industry, academia and technology-developing fields could be integrated with DRDO like establishments. "My first priority in this direction is to make a hassle-free and non-bureaucratic system for getting the entry in DRDO by these people," he said.

"We have earmarked over 120 items of defence requirements which we can be developed with the help of indigenous technology," the minister said.

On the occasion, the institute's chairman of board of governors Ashok Misra, director Pradipta Banerji, former chairman of Atomic Energy Commission PV Athawale, former Air Marshal T Suvarna Raju and defence journalist Ajai Shukla were present on the occasion.

Lca is not indigenous or what?

 

[kaonalpha]

Where are you guys, importing them from ?

How would a non-nuclear Indo-Pakistan war result?

A stalemate .

Let's see the scenarios:

Pakistan invades first

Day 1: Reason may be anything, but Pakistan amasses a huge number of soldiers. India's response is the same.

Day 2: Heavy firing begins at the border but Pakistanis are yet to cross the border. Things still look normal.

Day 3: Firing intensifies and all villages along the border are evacuated on both sides.

Day 3: The first of Pakistani airplanes fly inside Indian territory and hit an airbase. A couple of them are downed by SAMs. Most return without causing much damage since IAF has already moved its assets. The IAF holds its horses, not because they cannot, but because the government thinks that it's not worth the effort. Meanwhile, India brings in heavy artillery and shells Pakistani territory like never before.

Day 4: Washington issues a statement urging Pakistan to pull back since they started the war or face sanctions. Russia, France, and the UK says the same. China's tells Pakistan to resolve issues through talks, but does not explicitly tell them to stop the war.

Day 5: Heavy shelling still continues, but Pakistan does not cross the border still. India retaliates with greater force.

Day 6: Pakistan stops using heavy artillery. But gun still blaze.

Day 7- 10: By day 10, firing stops completely.

India invades first

Day 1: India attempts a surgical strike in a terrorist camp in Azad Kashmir. Without warning, Indian fighter planes in a precision blitzkrieg, destroys an LET camp. Pakistani radars blip, but by the time Pakistani interceptors take off, the Indian fighters finish their operation and cross the border.

Day 2: News reports in Pakistan say that several civilians have been killed. (I am not going into the assumption whether the reports are facts or propaganda). Public in anger protests on the streets. There are cries for war.

Day 3: In a stealth mission, Pakistani special forces raid an Indian outpost and kill three soldiers. This is a revenge attack. India opens its artillery. Heavy firing starts on both sides.

Day 4: Heavy shelling continues, but Pakistan does not send its jets to attack Indian based.

Day 5 - 12: By day 12, the shelling stops and things begin to look normal again. There is venom spewed, propaganda made, cries for war made, but nothing really happens.

Here, too, I would consider a stalemate since destroying one single camp achieves nothing. There are hundred such camps and even if ten are destroyed, twenty more will pop up.

I do not think that there would ever be a full scale war between the two countries. The stakes are just too high.

Depends on with what objectives the war will be initiated by either side. India's objective would be I believe to try and capture territory and use it as a bargaining chip or in case of Pakistan capturing territory India's objective would be to clear the area. The advantage on India's side is India can fight a long-war better and withstand international pressure better than Pakistan

On topic is'nt LCA claimed to the indigenous?

 

[Maarkhoor]

May be slip of tongue caused the truth.

Open a Seperate thread for it,then will answer

 

[thesolar65]

Engine!Engine!Engine! I think he meant this. May be he is talking about AMCA with our own Engine!!

@PARIKRAMA @Abingdonboy @volatile @MastanKhan

This is the first real reference to the new stealth aircraft India is developing.

Is it the AMCA

 

[volatile]

This is the first real reference to the new stealth aircraft India is developing.

There were more then few news which hinted Indian planes of developing 5th Gen Stealth fighter (Specially with reference to Partnering with Israel but this seem low probable as it is very difficult to break into 5th Gen club specially for India /Pak type countries which have low tech Ind know how

All NONSENSE

In a Conventional war Your Country would be routed in FIVE days

Indian Armed forces are just too strong

Right!

And WTF was Parrikar hinting at? The AMCA?

 

[nang2]

It seems that he he himself isn't sure. "In four or five years we COULD.....". So, folks, chill.

Dude, I just got it confirmed by the designer.

Is it the AMCA

No. AMCA is post 2025. This is an entirely different program.

From what the designer says, it looks like a real beast. Parrikar wasn't kidding when he said it will be the most advanced aircraft.
