  F-35 vs AMCA: A Stealth Fighter Face-Off You Should Know About  Published By:  Technology & Defense   Date: 30/05/2025   Time : 09:51  In the fast-changing world of air combat, stealth is no longer just a luxury—it’s a must-have. If you’ve been following global defence news, you’ve probably heard of the F-35 Lightning II, the crown jewel of the U.S. Air Force. But did you know that India is developing its own stealth fighter called the AMCA (Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft)? This is more than just a comparison of two jets. It’s a look into how India is stepping up in the aerospace game. So, how does the upcoming AMCA stack up against the battle-tested F-35? Let’s break it down. ✈️ The Basics First Feature: F-35 Lightning II AMCA (India) Country: United States    India Role: Stealth Multirole Fighter. F35 Stealth Multirole Fighter. AMCA Generation: 5th Gen Fighter 5th (6th-gen tech planned) First Flight:  2006 (F35)  Expected ar...

 #FundKaveriEngine: Why India’s Homegrown Jet Engine Deserves National Attention In a world where cutting-edge aerospace technology defines a nation’s strategic edge, India is making waves online with the trending call to #FundKaveriEngine. This social media campaign isn’t just another hashtag—it reflects a growing public sentiment that India must invest in its own jet engine technology, and fast. A Long Journey of Ambition and Challenges India’s quest to develop a domestic jet engine began in the 1980s with the ambitious Kaveri Engine Project, led by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO). The goal? To power the Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) Tejas with an indigenously developed turbofan engine. However, despite years of effort, the Kaveri engine ran into persistent technical issues—mainly with achieving the necessary thrust levels and overcoming overheating problems. These setbacks forced India to turn to foreign suppliers, most notably the United States' General E...

F-35 or Su-57: Which 5th-Gen Fighter Should India Bet On? My Two Cents May 26/2025 Time: 43:00 pm  Posted By - Technology & Defense  I’ve been fascinated by military aviation since I was a kid, watching grainy footage of MiGs and Sukhois screaming across the sky during Republic Day parades. So when I started thinking about India’s potential 5th-generation fighter options, I couldn’t help but dive deep into the F-35 Lightning II and the Sukhoi Su-57 Felon. These two jets are beasts in their own right, but they’re built with very different philosophies—and India’s choice here could shape our air force for decades. Let me break it down and share why I’m leaning one way over the other. Stealth and Design: Hiding vs. Dancing in the Sky The F-35, built by Lockheed Martin, is like a ninja. It’s all about stealth—its radar cross-section is tiny, thanks to its angular design and radar-absorbing materials. I read somewhere that it’s about as detectable as a metal golf ball on radar,...

  India’s Fighter Jets: Guardians of the Sky India’s skies are protected by a powerful fleet of fighter jets—each with its own story, strength, and strategic role. From imported titans to indigenous marvels, the Indian Air Force (IAF) continues to evolve into a modern aerial force. Here's a deep dive into the fighter aircraft defending our nation today and tomorrow. 1. Dassault Rafale – The French Powerhouse Origin: France Entered Service: 2020 Highlights: 4.5-generation multirole fighter Advanced radar, electronic warfare (Spectra), and long-range Meteor missiles Nuclear-capable and carrier-compatible Can perform deep strikes, air superiority, and reconnaissance Why It Matters: A game-changer for India’s air dominance, especially in high-altitude zones. 2. Sukhoi Su-30MKI – India’s Air Dominance Workhorse Origin: Russia (customized for India) Entered Service: 2002 Highlights: Twin-engine multirole fighter with thrust vectoring Supermaneuverable and long-range Can carry BrahMos-A ...
