Induction is 8-10 years out.

Induction is 8-10 years out.

Without even a prototype flying, Amca would be further than that i believe.
Since it's a manned jet, testing will also be longer than UCAV.

Tail is there?

Its having a vertical stabiliser, what is that? Not visible in photograph.

Seems they were having problems with the control. The entire program was about testing a autonomous flying wing concept and now they have added a vertical stabliser.

It is only there in one prototype.

Even take of speed also looks so scary, just like som RC model.

All up weight is just over a tonne. Has an endurance of an hour, a service ceiling of 20,000 feet and VHF-command links that are good for 200 km. It is powered by a 4.4 KN turbofan. And some idiots are calling this a RC model. Dalali ki bhi had hoti hai. pic.twitter.com/gioPNAuCSk

Report: Ar least 10 more flight tests are needed to prove the capability of the SWiFT platform, and only then will the government grant funding for the full-fledged development of the Ghatak UCAV.

Report: Indian troops posted along LAC are facing problems in radio communication due to Chinese installing 5G networks close to the LAC.
DRDO is working to find a solution.
