New Delhi. India has taken a big and historic step towards self-reliance in the defense sector. The Central Government has started the process of involving private companies in taking forward the country’s ambitious fifth generation indigenous stealth fighter jet program AMCA (Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft). This step is being considered as a gamechanger for the Indian defense industry.
According to defense sources, the Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA) and the Defense Ministry have sent Request for Proposals (RFP) to three major defense companies/consortiums of the country for this project.

What is stealth fighter jet?
Stealth fighter jets are fighter aircraft that are designed with special technology to evade enemy radar, infrared sensors and surveillance systems.
The materials used in these aircraft, engine design and airframe structure are such that their radar detection is greatly reduced. These are also called “Low Observable Aircraft”.
Among the world’s leading stealth fighter jets:
- F-35 Lightning II
- F-22 Raptor
- Chengdu J-20
- Sukhoi Su-57
Are included.
capable of penetrating into enemy territory and attacking
According to experts, stealth technology is considered very important in modern warfare because it allows aircraft to go deep into enemy territory and complete missions.
State-of-the-art sensors, electronic warfare systems, supercruise technology and modern weapon systems are installed in these. Although stealth technology does not make an aircraft completely invisible, it does make its identification and tracking very difficult.
Next big target after Tejas
India already HAL Tejas Has developed fighter aircraft. Now the AMCA project is being counted among the most important programs for the future of the Indian Air Force.
Defense experts believe that this project will not only increase the capability of the Indian Air Force, but will also give a big boost to the private defense industry and indigenous military technology in the country.
