The Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA) has made significant strides in India’s Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA) program by issuing work orders for the first prototype’s structural assemblies, marking an essential transition from design to production. This milestone, achieved on schedule, underscores India’s commitment to advancing its indigenous aerospace capabilities, with the selected vendors being top-tier Indian defense manufacturers. The AMCA aims to deliver a stealthy, multirole fighter with advanced features, fostering domestic defense manufacturing and technological expertise. This development not only highlights India’s focus on quality and precision in defense projects but also reinforces its strategic objective of self-reliance in military capabilities.
