Japan invites India for fighter jet projet.

I think India should just take it.
Because India alone is not capable of doing projects in time.
Beside slow budgets and RnD and slow decisions is also huge cry for us .

But anyways what do you guys thinks?

Or do you guys think India should partner with Russia?

I think India should partner with Japan+UK+Italy instead.

Russia too takes us for a ride and beside Russia may get pressured from China and pass same technology to them.

Japan taps India for next-gen fighter to rival China’s J-36

Japan invites India to join GCAP, a next-gen fighter jet project with UK and Italy, aiming to rival China’s J-36 and reshape Indo-Pacific security alliances.

""With an estimated cost exceeding $40 billion by 2035, the project’s financial demands have prompted the three nations to explore expanding their partnership."
India desperately needs powerful fighter jets considering China's fast advancements in defense.
Japan is right partner considering their long term disconnect with China.

Meanwhile this may not be liked by USA, Russia, France, etc. considering our existing relationships with them.

It is definitely not a bad deal.
Except for UK ..I think other partners are very solid.
I find it hard to trust British.

I find it hard to trust British.

Japan can be trustworthy due to geo-political reasons, Italy are hard ball bargainers putting more weight than they deserve.

Someone else also was telling me this.

Need to study a bit.

Also Norway I think.

If domestic AMCA fails to arrive in time before pak get J35, For India Plan B will be Su57 interim or even FCAS long term and considering France has been more reliable despite sanctions in late 90s and weapons compatibility with rafale.
