This is my fear too with the AMCA. I have always been frustrated about why it suffers from a limited IWB. Seemed like the small-thinking while framing the ASQR for Tejas is being repeated.Pratyush wrote:PS they have sabotaged to AMCA as well by limiting the internal weapons bay to under 1.5 tons.

I am quite sure that the IAF, once the aircraft is ready to enter service will turn arround and say that the IWB is too small we need F35.
ADA is on record saying that they are building it per the Air HQ requirement. I hope there is no intentional sabotage here via the ASQR
