         There were Mostly 70% of the Fighter will be Equipped with High Power AESA radars . With Super Sukhoi Standards that one have reduced RCS ,AESA radar and can carry 3 BrahMos Supersonic Cruise Missiles . The AMCA comes with AESA and reduced RCS with Internal weapon Bays can go deep inside Enemy Territory to evade advanced SAM systems and Engage Strategic Buildings .With array of Russian Ukraine French ,Israeli and Indian Air to Air Missiles Varying BVR ,WVR ,IR and Radar Guided Missiles with these Fighters .Can be a Nightmare to any Country even with USA .

      Let’s take a Scenario .Our Forces are advanced to Chinese Main land and China send a Squad of J 17 , Su 27 and J 20 fighter with A Dedicated CAS fleet to stop the Indian Advance ..quickly we can throw squad of Super Sukhoi with R 77 R 73 and R 27 .along with a LCA MK 2 with Indian Astra and Israeli Python and Derby and a Squad of FGFA with newer Gen of A2A missiles can easily destroy the Incoming Fleet of Chinese Multi Purpose Mission Squad .and Do not forget the Role of AEWCS Planes.
