Scouting for such a version is only a logical step forward for the CAC’s ambition to develop a 5th generation machine

MANAGEMENT GURU

To our credit, as of now, there is the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter that is undergoing user trial that can be considered a truly 5th generation product & not an extension of the four & half generation F-18 Hornett. By entering into serious discussion about the 5th generation with Russians, our government (for a change) has stated its intent to be strategically pro-active, & at the tactical level, fill the air superiority deficit, which plagues the IAF. Even on the front of internalizing technology, Russia has been more than eager to find a partner in India for defence co-production. Interestingly, if India had backed out, the next obvious choice would have been China. The Chinese Chengdu Aircraft Corporation (CAC) has been showing major interest in the thrust vectored version of the Russian AL- 31FN engine, which powers the J-10 series. Scouting for such a version is only a logical step forward for the CAC’s ambition to develop a 5th generation machine. Frankly, there wasn’t much option left for India.
