AMCA or the Advaced Medium Combat Aircraft is a fifth-generation fighter aircraft which will be manufactured by HAL. Currently only US has an operational Stealth Bomber and fighter and this addition into the Indian Air Force will make India one of the first few members of the elite club. At par is the Russian Sukhoi PAK FA which is expected to roll out in 2017. AMCA will have fifth generation features like super cruise, stealth, AESA radar, maneuverability and advanced avionics. The total funding for this project is Rs. 9000 crores and this investment is worth every penny especially considering that our enemies beyond the border in China have Chengdu J-20, which will be operational in 2018.
