In a major leap toward self-reliance in defense technology, India is set to develop its very own fifth-generation fighter jet—the Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA) . In a historic move, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh has approved an innovative execution model for the indigenous stealth fighter programme. This model brings together Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) and private industry players in a competitive framework, marking a significant shift in how India approaches military aviation manufacturing. This bold initiative comes at a critical time, as China has already fielded two fifth-generation fighters , and reports indicate it will supply 40 J-35 stealth jets to Pakistan . Against this backdrop, fast-tracking the AMCA has become an urgent national security imperative. AMCA: India’s Indigenous Stealth Fighter Dream The AMCA project , spearheaded by the Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA) under the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) , received its l...
China’s DeepSeek AI: A New Challenger in AI Development China’s DeepSeek AI has introduced two advanced models, DeepSeek-V3 and DeepSeek-R1 , which have performed at par with OpenAI’s ChatGPT. These models mark a significant advancement in artificial intelligence, challenging Western dominance in AI research and applications. About DeepSeek AI Models Advanced AI Language Models DeepSeek-V3 and DeepSeek-R1 are state-of-the-art open-source AI models focused on natural language understanding, reasoning, coding, and mathematical computations.
