The paper design of the Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA) prototype has been finalised at the Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA) under the Ministry of Defence, marking a significant milestone in India’s indigenous defence manufacturing. According to information, the aircraft is expected to make its first appearance by the end of 2027. Speaking exclusively to India TV, AMCA Project Director Krishna Rajendra offered detailed insights into the aircraft’s design and capabilities. He confirmed that the AMCA will be a fifth-generation fighter jet with the primary design for the stealth aircraft now complete. “What makes it unique is that this aircraft will not be noticed on the enemy’s radar; that is the stealth feature of this aircraft,” Rajendra said. He emphasised that the design is entirely indigenous with ADA serving as the nodal agency in close coordination with multiple DRDO labs, CSR facilities and academic institutions.
