India's approach to developing the new AMCA fighter differs from the principles implemented in the Russian Su-57. This can be seen as the reason for the republic's reluctance to purchase 5th-generation combat aircraft, IDRW reported.
Within the FGFA program, New Delhi, IDRW claims, was interested not only in the characteristics of the future fighter, but also in the level of stealth, technology transfer, and the participation of Indian industry.
Analysts believe that "Sukhoi" did not rely exclusively on minimal radar visibility.
In particular, the design of the air intakes, the external placement of some optoelectronic systems, and the round engine nozzles reflect a compromise between stealth and kinematic characteristics.
Indian media noted that the republic's authorities are not in a hurry to sign a contract for the localization of the production of these combat aircraft and are awaiting from the Russian side a detailed report on the cost of such a project amid parallel interest in French Rafale.
