According to the latest report of the "Eurasian Times", the Indian Air Force has been eager to have its own fifth-generation ** fighter, but has been unable to make a key breakthrough for a long time. In contrast, China and Pakistan, two major competitors in South Asia, have made significant progress in the development of fifth-generation aircraft. The Chinese Air Force is already equipped with about 200 J-20 fighters and is expected to reach 500 by 2026, while Pakistan plans to purchase J-31** fighters, which are expected to exceed 100. In contrast, India currently has only 36 French Rafale fighter jets, far behind its South Asian rivals.

India launched the domestic fifth-generation aircraft project AMCA as early as ten years ago, however, until now the first flight time has not been determined, and prototype manufacturing is still stalled on PPT. In the context of the rapid rise of China-Pakistan's fifth-generation aircraft, India's domestic ** has questioned the ability of its R&D department, accusing it of spending a lot of money but failing to make substantial progress. The AMCA project, which was originally scheduled to make its maiden flight in 2022, may be delayed by several years according to the latest reports, and the Indian Air Force's top brass has also extended the time for the domestic fifth-generation aircraft to be put into operation from the originally planned 10 years to 15 years.

India has only two options when it comes to acquiring fifth-generation aircraft: the United States and Russia. Due to the fact that India is already equipped with Russian-made S-400 air defense systems, coupled with the tension between the United States and India, it is difficult for the United States to provide F-35** fighters. Although the Indian military has listed China and Pakistan as potential threats, the United States has been cautious about this and is reluctant to provide India with F-35s. Therefore, the only hope lies in the purchase of Russian Su-75** fighters, however, the length of their service is still unknown. This puts India in a difficult situation, and in the end it may have to continue to buy Rafale fighters to fill its own fifth-generation aircraft gap.
