An empowered committee led by Defence Secretary RK Singh recommended the induction of fifth-generation fighter jets to enhance the force's deterrence and preparedness, especially along the northern and western borders. Live Events The Indian side is showing interest in acquiring the fifth-generation fighter aircraft, when reports suggest that China is already working on sixth-generation fighter jets and may also provide its fifth-generation fighters to the Pakistan Air Force in the next few years. The two countries from which India could potentially procure fifth-generation aircraft were the United States and Russia. However, the government has not taken any decision on the issue of fifth-generation fighter jets, but discussions are going on in this regard. The US has offered the F-35 fighter jet, while Russia has proposed its Su-57 jets for India's consideration. India had opted out of the Fifth Generation Fighter Aircraft (FGfA) project many years ago, but there is an option to rejoin it. The F-35 has been sold to various countries by the US in Europe and outside. India is also looking at a programme to build 114 modern 4.5 plus generation fighters in partnership with a foreign country under Make in India , and may go for a government-to-government deal after a tender. The Indian Air Force is looking to use these planes to prepare a strong deterrence all along the western and northern fronts.
