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.
