By Mike Tyler

March 9, 2017 - India is beginning preliminary design work for a new fifth generation fighter jet, named the Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA), with the first flight scheduled for 2024.

The AMCA is designed to replace Indian Air Force aircraft such as the Mirage 2000, Jaguar and MiG-27 from 2030. Russian technology includes Sukhoi stealth, active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar and three-dimensional thrust vectoring for the AMCA’s engines.
