India is moving ahead with its most advanced stealth fighter jet program as tensions with Pakistan and China escalate.
India's defence ministry has approved a framework to develop a next-generation stealth fighter jet, aiming to strengthen its air capabilities amid growing regional tensions. The Aeronautical Development Agency will soon invite bids from private and state-owned firms to prototype the twin-engine, fifth-generation aircraft. This initiative comes as India's Air Force struggles with a reduced fleet of 31 squadrons—well below the sanctioned strength of 42—while China expands its aerial power and Pakistan deploys advanced Chinese J-10 jets.
The recent four-day military standoff between India and Pakistan, which included the large-scale use of drones and missiles, has further spurred an arms race. The new stealth jet program will involve domestic industry players, promoting collaboration and reducing over-reliance on state-run Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd, which has been criticized for delays in Tejas aircraft production.
