Operationally, definitely no: Ex-Vice Chief of Air Staff on India having a 4th gen aircraft in 2035

Air Marshal Nagesh Kapoor, who retired as Vice Chief of the Air Staff, responded after he was asked if it makes sense for India to have a fourth generation aircraft in 2035 when China has moved onto 6th generation and Pakistan is considering 5th generation. "No, operationally, definitely no," Kapoor, who retired less than two months ago, said.
