India is gearing up to join the global push for sixth-generation fighter jets.

Defence panel seeks AMCA timeline
The Indian Air Force plans to join one of these consortia to level up its air combat game and stay current with new tech.
Meanwhile, India's own Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA) project has developed its design, and discussions for its making are currently underway.
The Parliamentary Standing Committee on Defence is now asking for a tentative timeline and progress report, highlighting how important these upgrades are for keeping India's skies secure.
