  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.

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 Top 4 Air Defense Systems: A Strategic Overview India’s defense strategy has become increasingly sophisticated, particularly in the area of air defense, where a robust network of systems helps safeguard its airspace from evolving threats. Here’s a look at the top four air defense systems that are central to India’s military readiness. S-400 Defense system India's Might   1. S-400 Triumf: India’s Game-Changer in Air Defense The S-400 Triumf, a powerful air defense system from Russia, is one of the world’s most advanced missile defense systems. Deployed in India in late 2021, the S-400 can target hostile aircraft, missiles, and even drones at ranges up to 400 km and altitudes as high as 30 km. Its ability to track 36 targets at once and fire 72 missiles simultaneously makes it a critical part of India’s air defense arsenal. The S-400 not only enhances India’s defensive capabilities but also acts as a strong deterrent against potential adversaries in a region marked by tension...

  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 ...
