AMCA News and Discussion

[Joe Shearer]

I think the issue is any questioning of anything Indian leads you to pigeon hole people as "opposed to India", but that may be more of an issue regarding yourself rather then others. People do praise Indian acheivements on here (including myself) and often criticise Indian failures too. I cannot help it of it's only the later that gets your goat.

As you say, dont take things too seriously....

Not really. You are slotted as one who will take a position that differs from situation to situation, not a dedicated India-hater. I've already said so, but repeat for easier comprehension; my reaction was, and remains, amused.

That is sarcasm.

If someone says "bloody Indians" or any nationalist in a sarcastic or derogatory way, it’s typically meant as an insult or mockery.

bloody is not necessarily an insult. We say Bloody Good too at times, no need to be a snowflake, keep the discussion productive and move on

Sure, as you say.

I also use phrases like "bloody hell" occasionally, but I never direct such language toward specific nationalities because, to me, that would be categorically insulting to an entire group of people.

My ego isn't too high, so I'm open to being corrected if I made a mistake in highlighting this point.

My apologies in advance. Thanks

The 1:1 model that has been displayed is an older version. AMCA needs to be developed urgently, these mockups hold no value. We also need FF as soon as possible!

Are you sure? IMO it is an older and in fact inaccurate model too

Yes, they installed an old model, but this one is the latest one apparently.

Lot of confusion out there. Probably the design will still involve with time.

 

[Migflug]

This is probably an RCS measurement model and not an actual prototype. But forward movement nonetheless !!

Firstly saying “bloody Indians” is nowhere racist.

And we are living in India, not China.

Please don’t mock China for everything!

China is focused on doing what’s best for its people. No country is perfect, but compared to our lazy and corrupt leaders, China has made far more progress.

On the topic—China has been license-manufacturing fighter jets since the 1960s. And HAL is doing the same from 1960s. However, they have successfully advanced their capabilities and now produce decent aircraft, including 5th-generation fighters.

Meanwhile, HAL keeps showcasing mock-up models of the from MCA to AMCA—something they’ve been doing for nearly a decade with little real progress

The way HAL, the Air Force, and Indian ministers have handled things, the IAF doesn’t even need an enemy—they've done enough damage themselves.

No proper planning, no seriousness—everything exists only on paper. The only thing that seems to get updated every year is the mock models!"

I'm not seeing an EOTS, is that just missing from the mockup? or have the Indians decided to skip that feature.
